TORONTO – JAZZ.FM91 (CJRT) will relocate to contemporary new premises in downtown Toronto when the radio station moves its operations at the end of this month to street front facilities on Pardee Avenue in the King and Dufferin area known as Liberty Village. The announcement came from Bernard Webber, long-time chairman of JAZZ.FM91’s board of directors who said the move culminates nearly 14 years during which JAZZ.FM91 has broadcast from the Ryerson Uni- versity building it currently occupies at 150 Mutual Street. “91.1 on the FM dial will continue to provide a window for the discrim- inating listener,” Webber said. “Al- though we will be broadcasting from a new location, our mission will remain constant.

Jaco Pastorius Big Band leader Peter Graves remembers his friend

by Tad Hendrickson

on’t feel bad for Peter Graves. At the moment he is trying to get all the visas together for a Jaco Pastorius Big Band Dtour of Japan. And while he’s looking for a last minute sub for a member who made an unexpected trip to the hospital and won’t be able to make the gig, it’s not a bad deal to be leading the acclaimed big band dedicated to his friend and former colleague Jaco Pastorius. As if that wasn’t enough, this project has made Graves a target for every bassist of note. “Bassists still are beating down my door,” Graves says with a chuckle from his home in Florida. “But it’s a great feeling. You have Christian McBride, Victor Wooten, and Gerald Veasley and on and on saying: ‘Yeah. I’ll be there in a heartbeat.’” Now Graves, several former Pastorius band mates, and an all-star cast of bassists oﬀer up a second helping of the Jaco Pastorius Big Band on Heads Up International entitled The Word Is Out. This follows 2003’s highly acclaimed Word Of Mouth Revisited. Creating a big band around a musician who is best known as one of the world’s greatest bass players shows Pastorius’s music in slightly diﬀerent light, but the mix of guest bassist and great arrangements on Word Of Mouth Revisited captured the imagina-

tion of critics and fans. “I can’t say that I didn’t expect a strong reaction from the fan base, but the overwhelming world-wide response did catch me a little oﬀ guard,” Graves says. “I’m delighted with the response and the monies that are going to the four kids, and that we’re keeping the music alive. But I do have to say that I’m a bit surprised with the magnitude of the response.”

Jaco Pastorius Big Band “His writing was always amazing to me,” Graves continues. “From the time he brought in ‘Domingo,’ he just blew us away. Larry Warrilow is a wonderful arranger and composer who also knew Jaco from the beginning and I think that its our knowledge that makes it easy for us to bring what we think Jaco would have wanted to the paper – to get [the songs] arranged in a manner that he would be comfortable with.” Graves met Pastorius in Florida. The bassist had just finished up with kitschy soul singer Wayne Cochran’s band in 1971. They played longest together as part of the house band for a Fort Lauderdale club called Bach- elors III, which often presented national artists traveling through the area. But they first met when they played briefly in Blood Sweat And Tears. continued ... jazzweek.com • March 27, 2006 JazzWeek 11 TALKING JACO (continued)

The band was looking for a bassist when Graves got word about Pas- torius. “We liked the idea of melding the pop rock, R&B, and swing jazz influence. I was told by a friend about this young guy that had just come out of Wayne Cochoran’s band. He had a rep as a great player, but he had a cocky attitude, and I thought: ‘Bingo. That’s exactly what I’m looking for.’” Graves says that he will always remember Jaco Pastorius with the big smile on his face. They shared a lot of music together and had a lot of fun over those years in the ’70s. Not surprisingly, it’s difficult for the bandleader to decide on just one Jaco song as a favorite, but he can narrow it to two. “I’m torn between “Three Views” and “Continuum.” There would be nights at Bachelors where Jaco would be in the back between sets shedding, not even plugged in. He would show me a tune by putting the head of the bass up against my ear. The only person who could hear it was myself, and here was the world’s greatest bass player playing a song as the waiters were coming through to grab ice and stuff. I will never forget the first time I heard “Continuum” was like that. It just blew my mind.” Of course the legend of Jaco Pastorius becomes heartbreaking in the ’80s as bouts with mental illness were complicated by years of hard living. While he still talked to the bassist over the phone, Graves didn’t see Pastorius in the last few years of his life. “It had gotten so difficult to be around him. So much of the illness had gone un- diagnosed, and it was just a really difficult time. I talked to him on the phone some, but those were pretty dark days.” Pastorius died from the beating he received while trying to break into a Fort Lauderdale club. By then he lived on the street. It was a tragic end to one of the great figures in jazz. According to Graves, “To me, one of the crimes of this whole thing is: What about all the songs that went unwritten?” There is some consola- tion: even though there are no new Jaco Pastorius songs, this band continues to carry on his work, and that can’t ever be a bad thing.
