It's perfect.

The amount of sheer joy passing in and between these two extraordinary musicians is palpable and inspiring!!! THIS is the Jaco I knew as a child, my best friend from 4th--7th grade.

Greetings! I am a Brazilian admirer of Jaco, I have few stories about Jaco, because unfortunately he died prematurely. I love his way of playing, as he has inspired bass players from all over the world to this day. Please tell me about the moments of friendship you had with Pastorius, did you have the opportunity to meet him when Jaco was an adult?

Did you know Mark Thornton?

Two geniuses sharing beauty with the universe...

Life is short, art is long...as stated, the joy of music.

A truly amazing clip. I came here from a Peggy Lee and Toots video...clicked on the thumbnail and was totally blown away. Toots, I happily, know something of him. Until 9 minutes and 9 seconds ago, I was not familiar with Mr. Pastorius and his muscianship, but may have heard him and was not aware of him by name. In any event, The young man in this video, sort of knows his way around a bass guitar(said in jest, with high, high respect). Jaco smiling as noted by others...who could not smile when in the company of that smiling, bespectacled, humble., harmonica, playing gift from God. Thank you Toots, and thank you Jaco. Jaco, I'm 73 and "discovered" and became an instant fan of Stevie Ray Vaughn a few years ago, after he had passed away. I just "discovered " you and became an instant fan. Man, my timing sucks:). Thank you gentlemen, for what you left behind and rest in peace.

RIP Toots, thanks for all the decades of beautiful music you gave us. Hugs to Jaco, he is still sorely missed.

Jaco looks so happy here. That's nice to see. :)

When Jaco was himself he did on four what guys today struggle to do on 6. As for Toots - nothing but net🙌🏾 Both were geniuses. Their mastery in music lives on!

RIP Toots RIP Jaco Beautiful..

It amazes me every time I watch this clip. For me one of the most intense and valuable improvisations. And it is so good to see a smiling Jaco. I am quite sure Toots Thielemans had a huge positive influence on Jaco's well being.

Yea, I saw them in Osaka on their Big Band Tour and it was magical, amazing chemistry and energy between the two. Toots thanked Jako for inviting him on the tour and It was kind of ok until Toots came out and sat on a stool and rocked the placed. After that it was 33 guys ripping their best solos all night and the crowd went wild...and Toots was the surprise star of the show...

@@bpetersson5024 its impossible not to love Toots!!! I mean the guy is pure love for music and his fellow musicians, love how he throws a kiss to Jako on stage (not sure if it was in Montreux?)

Greatest bass player ever and a greatest chrom player ever playing together. I thought I had seen every video of Jaco on youtube from the past few years, but somehow I must've missed this one. And this one is truly a gem.

Jaco & Toots Reunion again...

Jaco is super cute in this video. He smiles his heart out. For me it looks like becuase he met a person who cherishes his talent and music! :) Great Ensemble.

+Jennifer Vincent happy a piece like this really demonstrates his ability to arrange. Jaco was a master arranger and it becomes easier to see why his family, his original choice of instrument all contribute to as masterful a player, a composer and an arranger, let alone one of the most innovative players in the genre of jazz, as Gil Evans or Duke Ellington. Miles for that matter. Man alive i screwed up my thumb playing this this morning. you know when you hit 50 and you jump on the kit without lots of warm up you can hurt yourself quite bad. all these old guys who still tour, I don't where they get the energy. I have to start warming up at 10AM if I want to play jazz by 2 in the afternoon. But with all that warm up you get other problems like carpal tunnel which is deadly to an instrumentalist as my self. I play some guitar and piano my self. Good to see Jaco has nice young people adore him for his playing. I will never forget the morning I was headed off to school and I heard that he had died the night before. Well to my generation, in a strange sort of way that was like our Hendrix dying. OK don't hate me for saying that anybody. It is a contextual thing. When I arrived at school some of my friends were quite glum about the whole thing. I guess that is the considered difference between a fan and a colleague. He does look happy though doesn't he?

+Bella, Yes he met somebody that cherished him... and that one amazing thing about Toots, you truly get the feeling that he loves and cherishes everybody. He is an amazing person to "experience", incredibly kind too meet, shining of love and somehow very graceful... Them meeting must surely have been a gift for both :-D

cross train vato. train you supporting muscles. all your muscles. ride a bike. walk. eat better. don't sit for hours in front of the tube. get up frequently and stretch from any sitting "activity" or in front of your kit. lots of breaks. you lose energy flow getting old because everything turns stiff and hard. if you want to keep playing, you have to stay loose and relaxed. yoga. all that. you know what you need to do . just do it. i am 62 and still playing 4 hour solo piano/vocal gigs, 5, 6 nights per week, I am exhausted by it, but i can still do it cuz i eat right, stretch, exercise. good luck. steve gadd is still playing in his 70's because he is taking care of his whole self.

Wow. After years of listening to this song off the Invitation album I finally got to see footage of Jaco & Toots (and Band) performing it. This might sound silly but I was really touched when Toots kissed Jaco on the cheek (7.13). It's almost like he really loved doing the duet with Jaco and was thanking him...

i am a better person for having heard this. thank you.

This is musical communication at it's highest level!

This is like everything I've ever wanted in my life.

Classy dude is Thieleman, big ears and an even bigger heart

L'amitié des deux est touchante, magnifique !

I wish I got to meet them in person, or even see them perform... why was I born in the 90s...

So you can change the world now!

At 6:50 starts one of the most beautiful moments of Jaco's recordings. I usually see it repeatedly...

R.I.P. Toots - and the same for Mister Pastorius - both are missed!

Oh yes..those 2 are unique & unforgettable...also a big loss for the music world!!...RIP Toots & Jaco!!

Saw Toots in Chg. at the Down Beat. He actually played to me--flirting!!! I was thrilled. This was MANY yrs. ago.

Two legends gathered in great classic! This is music!

This kind thing can only happen when you have reached the top of your playing ability & humor & fun is added to the mix, BUT then you've got to have a long understanding of jazz to get it. AWESOME musicians having fun with music & all is at peace with the world.

How is it even possible to play a harmonica like that!!?? Toots is as much a god on his instrument as Jaco was on the bass. Unbelievable.

Jazz, always speaks last and best! Sort of a summation of things before by a professor of the life course.

Best music of our era...just fantastic!Two legends!

Rest well and in peace Toots Thielemans

Great piece of jazz history showing two of the greats at work. This kind of "conversational" improvisation is common in jazz. I think it's interesting that there seemed to be a few times where Toots would "say" something and Jaco was "at a loss for words". As awesome as Jaco was, he couldn't keep up with Toots. I'm not taking about speed. I'm talking about complexity. I would love to see Jaco play with Vic Wooten.

The Musician was responsible for popularizing the chromatic harmonica and would be 100 years old this Friday, April 29, 2022. Congratulations Toots!

Thank you for posting. Splendid.

This has to be my most favorite song ever

two great musicians having a wonderful experience...

So musical video. :) This dialog is awesome. :)

Two of the coolest, together again, tho never apart....

Quando eu perguntei ao jaco em 1986 qual o Musico que fazia a cabeca dele ele me olhou e respondeu o Jimmy Hendrix.. era o sonho dele tocar alguma vez com o Hendrix. Um dos sonhos do Jaco esse era.... Talvez por isso as vezes alguns acham meio doido as coisas que ele fazia, Na verdade nunca foi doido nao existe um Genio completamente san e lucido. todos tem suas trilhas de pensamentos que muitas vezes nao se enquadram em um Padrao tipico de um sujeito comum. A ultima frase que ele me disse, eu tinha 13 anos e estava flutuando nesse dia, ele me disse, jr, nao esquece da Dinamica na Musica ela eh quase tudo... ciaoo e se foi em uma Mercedes branca 190... 1986 Vicenza Italy Dueville Pallasport

7:46 - Great lick, and that face!!

Marvelous. Jaco had a big band? I never knew that... and the writing for them was equal to the virtuosity of Toots and Jaco out front.

The Word of Mouth band. It was named after his 2nd solo album. Existed for about 4 years after he left Weather Report. The double album 'Twins' or 'Invitation' is possibly the best example of their music.

Sophisticated Lady, has a name....NINA, unique, wordefull.

Heaven sent music

Maybe I'm reading it wrong but it looked like the band got up this chart saying,...."oh, hey, they've gone on to Sophisticated Lady. Get it up. Hurry!"

This stinks!! why is that God blessed these 2..Music masters..and not me!! !!!just kiddind!! love them both..and miss them a lot!!

We have got this forever!

Very Moving ....Thanks !!!!

yo ngene iki jenenge musik!! top markotop... salut..!!

Two departed legends.RIP gentlemen.

God, what artists!

I love @ 2:36 when you see all the other musicians turning pages probably thinking ... Where the hell are they?

jaco and toots in heaven

Toots plays a late night, walk home song, clear skies, great talent tomorrows.

@teleringendevermaeck HA HA HA!! hilarious response. Took the words right out of my mouth.

Thanks wonderful performance video. I subscribed :) Pianist Kiyoshi from Japan.

this IS Sophisticated Lady. Head starts at 2.20'...

wow and then some!!

Toots...what else is there to say. He sang through a mouth harp. Simple, anyone can do it but just Toots did it so you knew from the first note what was coming at you and from whom.

waht a bassplayer!!

I am so glad I discovered Toots. Better late... Jaco is, of course, the boss of bass

now they enchant the paradise…

it's great.

Sin palabras...

Ah wow ..........

Yes. As impressive as Jaco was (R.I.P.), Toots was the teacher here.

very cool

Era uma relacao de Pai e Filho quase, mas Jaco era um filho meio anarquista, Em uma Tour no Japao do Weather Report. ele jaco, alugou uma Fzk 1100 e sair andando a mil por hora por Tokyo toda, causando problemas na tour toda... E no outro dia foi implorar o Zawinul no quarto de Hotel para ele poder voltar e ficar tudo bem.... coisas que li em revistas de Jazz. sobre a Epoca do Weather Report e Jaco

music/magic

very nice

weather report....eternal sunshine

outside is better than space, just ask miles....

@Pastirulo that's a bold statement. He was great on the fretless, but there r (were) others. Like Charles Mingus, Stanley Clarke etc. I'll just leave u with those 2 to think about.
