About the Artist
Rich Franks has been playing jazz since the mid 1960's. He has recorded with greats such as Herbie Hancock, Ira Sullivan, and Jaco himself. John Patitucci, who spent many years with Chick Corea, was the perfect choice of bassist for this CD. He blends his accoustical style with the Pastorius sound to produce something entirely unique. Of the two Pastorius originals on this CD, "Blow Fish Blues" has never been recorded, and "Microcosm" only heard with a totally different arrangement. Alex Darqui's works, especially "L'Antillaire" and "Ephesus", are radical departures from current trends in jazz. BAND_MEMBERS: Rich Franks, Drums Alex Darqui, Piano John Patitucci, Bass
Product Description
For Our Friend is a dedication to the late bassist Jaco Pastorius and showcase for the original music by pianist Alex Darqui. Produced by Randy Bernsen, it includes 10 cuts, two of which were written by Jaco. All profits from this recording will be contributed to music education for children
