Don Ross covers Jaco Pastorius’ ‘Three Views Of A Secret’
Acclaimed Canadian guitarist, singer and composer Don Ross has released his latest single, “Three Views of a Secret,” the second track off his newly released album Water. The single features an awe-inspiring display of Don’s solo guitar skills, beautifully complemented by the inimitable bass work of Michael Manring and rich orchestration by Atlantic String Machine.
“Three Views of a Secret” is a breathtaking rendition of Jaco Pastorius’ classic composition originally featured on his Word of Mouth album released in 1981.
“I promised myself a few years back that I would arrange a solo guitar version of it,” Don said, “and finally did recently.”
Born and raised in Montreal, Don started his music career in 1988 and has since then won several prestigious awards for his innovative music style. He has toured extensively and released multiple albums both independently and on various record labels, including Narada Records and Sony Music/Columbia Records.
Water is a testament to his artistic genius and his ability to seamlessly blend different styles and genres. It features collaborations with musical friends such as Bruce Cockburn, Brooke Miller, Sean Hall, and The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.
Don is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, and his talents extend beyond playing, to composing all the orchestrations on the album. His goal with this project was to create a thoroughly modern version of a Don Ross album, and he achieved this feat by financing the ambitious project with a successful Kickstarter campaign.
“Three Views of a Secret” is available on all major streaming platforms.
