Jaco Quintet: Celebrating the Legacy of Jaco Pastorius
The Jaco Quintet is a dynamic ensemble dedicated to honoring the electrifying legacy of legendary bassist Jaco Pastorius. Known for revolutionizing the role of the electric bass, Pastorius brought a lyrical, expressive voice to jazz fusion, redefining its possibilities. His collaborations with Pat Metheny, Weather Report, Joni Mitchell, and his own Word of Mouth big band (often referred to as the Liberation Orchestra) showcased his genius across genres and generations. The Jaco Quintet channels this spirit, breathing new life into Jaco’s iconic compositions and arrangements with passion, precision, and groove. Fresh off a standout performance at the Inverloch Jazz Festival in Victoria, the Jaco Quintet features five accomplished musicians:
David Galea – Electric Bass
A seasoned performer with a deep reverence for Jaco’s artistry, David anchors the group with melodic flair and rhythmic authority. His tone and technique pay homage to Pastorius while forging his own expressive path.
The Jaco Quintet will perform with David Spicer on Piano, Toby Wren on Guitar, Ben Byrne on Saxophones, Joseph Marchisella on drums and David Galea on Bass.
