Herbie Hancock and Jaco Pastorius - Live In Chicago 1977 (2024)

Herbie Hancock featuring Jaco Pastorius, live at Ivanhoe Theater, Chicago, February 16th 1977. By 1977 Herbie Hancock was firmly established as America s leading purveyor of jazz-funk. This superb performance finds him playing with Weather Report s legendary bassist Jaco Pastorius, as well as Bennie Maupin (tenor sax / bass clarinet) and James Levi (drums). Broadcast on the local WXRT-FM, it offers a setlist anchored in his Head Hunters era, but also offers a track from Maupin s superb Slow Traffic To The Right album.
