As I have mentioned here in the past, I used to go see Jaco in NYC often throughout the early-mid-80's. He'd play the usual jazz circuit: Blue Note, Seventh Ave. South, etc. I was at one of his performances one night at the Blue Note in 1984, had 1st row seating, and snapped a few photos. After years of having them around the house, I misplaced them for about 20 years. Well, I found them at the bottom of an old cedar trunk I have!
These are not complete to the best of my memory, so I'll have to see if I can find more. Mike Stern was the guitarist that night, an you can just catch a glimpse of him on the right side of one of the photos, but I know there was definitely a full length shot of him too that I can't find. The percussionist that night was also Don Alias.
I had the incredible bittersweet opportunity to play a gig with Jaco (He played my lefty '72 J upside down!). And, a few months soon after, he was gone. I've told that story before, so I'll skip it here for now. In the meantime, enjoy these! (Sorry for the jumbo size)

Thank you for sharing. You could probably sell those for good money to a magazine or website. . . (thinking out loud).
