"Hejira" - Jaco's part, starting 9th bar of sax solo
cue paint in “Hejira": 5 nmin, 54 seo. song by Joni Mitchell
Give version from "Shadows and Light") transoription: Tom Stroud
chord pragression ~ alternate 2 bars each: Domi 1 and Dmajt 3To me, this iz one of the most brilliant passages of Jace’s playing captured on 3 recording. It's unique because
it's not the base playing he's famous for, but rather » subtle, supportive role for Brecker's soprano sale. It
contains elements of funk and much syncepation, though in the context ef a sensitive groave with na drumset
and no prominent backbeat
Hejira” means a Tlight oF departure; any flight or journey te a more desir able or congenial place than where
one is.
