Moses is a living legend whose music needs to be recognized big time!

I could not have said it better myself.. Jaco was absolutely untouchable...He is an island unto himself..

I love Bob Moses and Bright Size Life is one of my favorite albums on the planet.  Thank you for this interview.

I love Jaco forever!! ❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️

NOTHING sounds like BSL - a musical treasure!!!

Dave Holland with Pat and Bob would love to hear some of those recordings.

Thank you, Bob! Knew Jaco and you capture his spirit well.

I have nothing but love for Moses. His work with Burton is fantastic.   Pat Metheny is a genius 👏

Pat did an interview with Rick Beato recently where he talked about BSL and how Gary Burton was really the 'producer' of the record and Manfred Eicher was the hammer, so to speak. Gary probably went to bat for Jaco, because he, too, wanted Jaco in there. Pat knew what he wanted from the beginning, and it really ruffled Manfred that he couldn't reign him in. That conflict made for some excellent albums, that's for sure.

Bright Size Life is a GREAT album!

interviews with drummers is a good idea

Even though the Pat Metheny trio with Bob Moses and Jaco Pastorius was very short lived, what an amazing collection of talent in one band. Bright Size Life was such an important and historic album that has gone on to become legendary. In my honest opinion, i would say that Jaco's best bass playing was with Pat, they matched up so well together, i really wished we got to hear more from them and i loved the drumming of Bob's, it sounded so tight. What a treat to hear 3 amazing musicians at the top of their game.

Love seeing brother Bob, it's been a couple of decades since we last saw each other. A great human being besides a world class musician.

Ra Kalam Bob Moses. There's an amazing 2020 record he did w/ pianist/keyboardist Aydin Esen called 'Fly' that is something else.

Jaco was unique in that he was one of the few who could bridge the world between jazz and pop/rock/funk. That only helped elevate the popularity of the music. Overly intellectual Jazz is just never going to be mainstream level popular. Most people want music to be fun and make them move.

2 things ..it's great that pat stood up for HIS musicians  on that first date and...50 bucks a night in 1973 was decent money for a gig..lol

Pat:"Jaco it's not a reggae its a waltz". LOL

This is a wild story. Moses knew what he was doing back then. Dave Holland is one of my favourite players, and he plays well with Pat, but this band was all about Jaco and Moses. Thinking what this album would have sounded like with Dave on the bass and another drummer makes me very curious. If Moses left, Manfred probably would have called Jack DeJohnette, and that would have been a killer album too, albeit with a more typical ECM sound. I just love listening to Bob Moses talk. He tells it like it is. He's honest when he speaks, and his music is so genuine.

I used to go to Poohs Pub and enjoy the PM Trio ,when I was a Berklee student. I met Jaco and asked him about Wayne Cochrane, and talked to me about Coon Asses !!! Great Guy!!!!

Bright Size Life, what a record, with Jaco, Pat and Bob!
