Talk to Me is one of Jaco's underrated gems, isn't it?

Absolutely. My foot always seems to press a little harder on the accelerator when this tune is on.

But my favorite Jaco piece is still John and Mary.

Pastorius said...

I love John and Mary. It is a great, great piece.

My other favorites are

Scarlet Woman
A Remark You Made
Three Views of a Secret

and just purely for the Jaco performance (not the song itself) I also love

Dream Clock
Teen Town
Speechless
Continuum
Goodbie Pork Pie Hat
God Must Be a Boogie Man
Sweet Sucker Dance

By the way, the reason I put the Joni Mitchell stuff in a category of songs that I don't particularly like is I simply think her voice is not good for Jazz. I love her pop music stuff which is jazz-influenced. But, I don't like her on real jazz stuff like this.

I have too many opinions, don't I?
