Bio / Background
"Simple Major Simple Minor"
The musical structures of Simple Major/
Simple Minor are not complex forms. Richard
uses simple forms to highlight subtle
features of arrangement/orchestrations
and also to illuminate the improvisational
explorations of the players.
Well over four hours of music was recorded
between May 2003 and February 2004. First
or second takes were always preferred and
eventually overdubbed versions of the pieces
were put aside in favor of the live ones.
Comments by Ron Thomas
At the outset I had no intention
to make this project a Jaco "tribute"
but his musical presence is so strong
throughout that I realized his name
had to shine through. Chico and I were
born at the right time (1955) for Jaco
to be one of our idols. He was a powerful
guidepost for us both, and many thousands
of others as well.
Don't let the two keyboards fool you,
the spirit of John Francis Pastorius III
is present throughout this recording.
