Bass V Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Malcolm Bruce shares this rare photo of Jack Bruce with Jaco Pastorius. The sax player is Butch Thomas who said, "That was a spring night in Greenwich Village. I ran into Jaco on the street and he asked me to come and play with him. I met him at 55 Christopher bar and we were sitting there playing and your dad walked in and sat at the table with us and we played jazz standards, and drank beer." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBod Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Think the Jazz belongs to Jerry Jemmott. Jack Bruce mentioned it in print..he thought Jaco was acting strangely (telling everyone about who Jack was etc) and they played some Ellington.
