Everything about Word Of Mouth Jaco Pastorius Album totally explained
» For the method of passing information, see Word of mouth.
Word of Mouth was the second
album by
Jaco Pastorius, released in 1981 while the
bassist was a member of
Weather Report, and also the name of a
big band group that
Pastorius assembled and with whom he toured from 1980 to 1984. While his
debut album showcased his eclectic and impressive skills on the
electric bass,
Word of Mouth focused more on his ability to compose and arrange for a large band. The album still shows off Pastorius' skill, most notably in the solo opening to the
Bach-written "Chromatic Fantasy" and the title track, in which Pastorius' bass is drenched in fuzzy distortion. "Crisis" also features a fast bass pattern looping, which runs under the frantic soloing. Most of the rest of the album's bass is highly subdued and blends into the band's arrangement, allowing them to shine through.
The band's all-star cast included
Herbie Hancock,
Wayne Shorter,
Peter Erskine,
Jack DeJohnette,
Michael Brecker,
Don Alias and
Toots Thielemans. Early presses of the album didn't include a list of musicians, though later releases listed only the names of the performers in respective, unnamed groups (for example, the main band was the first block of names.)
The title of the album is the namesake for the Pastorius
tribute album Word of Mouth Revisited.
