DJ Sessions: From Jaco Pastorius To Ahmad Jamal

Bass guitarist Jaco Pastorius made a name for himself during his short and troubled life.

Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson and KCRW jazz DJ Bo Leibowitz listen back to a 1982 performance that is being reissued. We also hear music from the longtime American jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal, among others.

Note: We have a Spotify playlist and an Apple Music playlist for our weekly DJ Sessions.

Bill Cunliffe, "Blame it On My Youth" (written by Oscar Levant)
