Titolo: [OT][BISS] McLaughlin e Pastorius (ma soprattutto Tony Williams..)

Un gentilissimo poster di iamj mi ha trovato l'intervista cui, 
probabilmente, ti riferivi.
La riposto:
McLaughlin intervistato da Bill Milkowski:
JMcL: (laughs) Yes indeed, the Trio of Doom. That trio was
unbelievable. It was amazing. When they were on it was unbelievable to
play with those guys. Anyway, rehearsals were phenomenal. We had only
three tunes that we were going to play (at the historic Havana Jam in
Cuba). So we went down to Havana and we had a tune each. We started
off with my tune, "The Dark Prince," which was a kind of blues in
Cminor with some altered changes. But the thing is, Jaco altered
everything. He turned his amp up to 11 and started to play A major,
which is like a little far away from C minor...and unbelievably loud!
So we start to play the tune, Tony's looking at me, I'm looking at
Tony and it's like, "What the fuck'" And in the meantime Jaco's
upfront with the bass between his legs, doing his thing...it was
almost like Jimi Hendrix. And the whole set went like that. When we
finished the set, I was so angry at Jaco. Tony too. And we walked off
stage and Tony was already up and running to the bathroom...he was
about to throw up. Anyway, Jaco came down and said, "Oh, man, you bad
mother!" And I said, "What' You have the nerve to speak to me after
this travesty on stage. I don't even want to see your face, I don't
want to hear you, I don't want to see you." And it all came out, and
in about 15 minutes later it was fine. But Tony couldn't get it out,
right' And it was such a farce. Anyway, CBS called me about two weeks
later and said, "So, we're going to put it out." And I said, "You're
going to put what out' You're not going to put that out. You put it
out over my dead body. That's terrible." So they asked if we wanted to
re-record it over at Columbia Studios on 52nd Street. So we all went
into the great CBS Studio on 52nd Street where we did all those great
things with Miles -- In A Silent Way, Bitches Brew and all of that. So
we start re-recording the tunes and in the meantime, Tony's not
looking at Jaco. I mean, forget about speaking, he's not even looking
at him. And Jaco's already very nervous. So we start playing and we
did my tune again. So we do one take and we go in the control room to
listen back and Jaco says, "Well, I think we can do it better." And
all of a sudden Tony jumps in front of Jaco and says, "Better' Better,
motherfucker'!!" He pushed Jaco up against the wall. I had never seen
Tony angry but that was like a little volcano action, man, I tell you.
And Jaco's like..."Hey man, I'm sorry, man, I'm sorry." Tony didn't
hit 'em or anything, but when Tony got mad you just get out of the
way. He had Jaco up against the wall and Jaco was like apologizing
profusely. He knew he fucked up bigtime. So after 10 minutes of Tony
blasting him with both barrels, Tony went into the studio and
destroyed his drumkit. (laughter). And I said, "You gotta record with
this!" He destroyed his kit and walked out of the studio and that was
it. What a shame. But hey, who's perfect in this world' But I told
Jaco off right away back in Havana. I got rid of all the rats and
snakes right off the stage, but Tony had it balling up, stewing around
there for a while for he finally exploded. He always had difficulty
with getting it right out. So yeah...Jaco was crazy, but what a
player! He was too much. Boy I miss him. I miss Tony too. What a
tragedy.

io conoscevo soltanto il concetto riportato nel post. Letta così, bisogna
dare ragione al McCoso. Chissà che s'era fumato Pastorius prima di quel
concerto. Di sicuro non degli Havana.

jaco in quel periodo aveva già cominciato a dare quei segni di 
squilibrio che lo han portato verso la sua brutta fine, dovuti non solo 
alle droghe e all'alcool, ma anche alla schizofrenia, che lo portava 
spesso fuori contatto con la realtà.
vi consiglio di leggere la biografia del + grande bassista di tutti i 
tempi, scritta proprio da milkowsky.
