	Jaco Pastorius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jaco Pastorius, born John Francis Anthony Pastorius III (December 1, 1951 – September 21, 1987) was a jazz bassist and composer, notable for his virtuoso technique and fretless bass playing style.
		Jaco went through elementary and middle school at St. Clement's Catholic School (he was an altar boy at the adjoining church) in nearby Wilton Manors, and went to high school at Northeast High in Oakland Park.
		Pastorius was a master of using natural and artificial harmonics to extend the range of the bass (exemplified in the bass solo Portrait Of Tracy off of his eponymous album) and could achieve a nearly horn-like tone simply by changing the tone control and his playing technique.

	Jaco Pastorius
		John Francis Pastorius III was born on December 1, 1951, in Norristown, PA, and raised in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, the son of a professional drummer and singer.
		Jaco also garnered criticism in some jazz circles for his spotlight-stealing tendencies, and for the fact that he and the equally domineering Zawinul were pushing Shorter—considered by many as one the greatest players and writers in jazz history--to an ever-smaller role in Weather Report.
		Jaco was hospitalized a number of other times, including at Bellevue, but it never helped, and as often happens with artists who suffer manic-depression, he didn't like the side effects of his medication and often wouldn't take it.

	The Bassists Review - Jaco Pastorius Biography
		Jaco Pastorius was unquestionably the greatest musician to ever wield the 4 stringed instrument known as the bass.
		In 1976, Jaco released his amazing self-titled debut album, which is considered by many to be the greatest most influential bass album of all-time and has changed the way people look at the bass.
		Jaco’s larger than life antics on and off the staged were too much to be tolerated by most people.

	Jaco Pastorius
		Jaco Pastorius was a meteor who blazed onto the scene in the 1970s, only to flame out tragically in the 1980s.
		With a brilliantly fleet technique and fertile melodic imagination, Pastorius made his fretless electric bass leap out from the depths of the rhythm section into the front line with fluid machine-gun-like passages that demanded attention.
		Alas, Pastorius became overwhelmed by mental problems, exacerbated by drugs and alcohol, in the mid-`80s, leading to several embarrassing public incidents (one was a violent crackup onstage at Hollywood Bowl in mid-set at the 1984 Playboy Jazz Festival).

	Jaco Pastorius
		Jaco proclaimed himself the "greatest bass player in the world", then set out to prove his point.
		Jaco played chords, melodies and effects simultaneously...no bass player had ever done this...and certainly not with the speed and accuracy Jaco possessed.
		Jaco Pastorius was beaten by a club bouncer on September 12, 1987.

	Fender Players Club - Jaco Pastorius
		1976 was a big year for Pastorius, as it was also the year he released his self-titled solo album, a release that had enormous impact on the spheres of jazz, fusion, and bass playing in general.
		Jaco’s story ended in tragedy, however; he began to suffer from mental illness, which, had it been successully treated, would likely have been diagnosed as a bipolar affective disorder.
		Herbie Hancock perceived Jaco as a revolutionary right from the beginning, and it was his liner notes on Jaco's solo debut that first made note of his singular talent.

	Jaco Pastorius Spirit
		She asked him if he had known Jaco and he said, "It's really strange that you would ask me if I knew Jaco Pastorius because I was getting ready to manage him just before he was killed!" He was so excited and asked my mother what else Jaco had communicated to her.
		Jaco came through my mother (who knows nothing about musical technique) and gave her detailed ideas and suggestions about musical technique as well as advising others who were at the session.
		Geri, Jaco's long-time friend, and her daughter, Michelle, continue very actively meditating, praying and dedicating a lot of time to the healing of Jaco's spirit and his family.

	Heads Up: Word of Mouth Revisited
		The ascendance of bassist Jaco Pastorius in the 1970s was a singular phenomenon in the evolution of jazz, with an impact that continues to transcend genres and resonate among his army of disciples more than a decade after his untimely passing.
		The Jaco Pastorius Big Band is the life-long project of trombonist/conductor Peter Graves, who first hired Jaco in 1971 to join the rhythm section of what was then known as the Peter Graves Orchestra - the house band at the Bachelors III, a popular Ft. Lauderdale nightclub.
		Pastorius isn't a common name, so when my surname is made available, cashing a check or using my library card, there is a chance that I'm going to hear a "Jaco" story.

		And with his poignant ballad "Portrait of Tracy," Pastorius displayed a stunning, unconventional approach to the bass guitar as a solo instrument, demonstrating a singular command of chords, glissandos, and harmonics that transcended all expectations of the capabilities of the instrument.
		Jaco Pastorius didn't just make himself known by sharing the above statement with everyone who'd listen, however: he was (and remains) an unparalleled musical giant because it was quite simply the truth.
		Jaco's first solo record proves to be the most important and influential recording in the history of the electric bass.

	Pastorius
		Jaco was a genius as well as a madman - but this has been typical for many great personalities in the world history...
		Jaco got into the recordings in the middle of it all because of Alphonso Johnson's "drop out" - and already on the next (amazing record) "Heavy weather" Jaco was credited as "co-producer".
		And then listen to Jaco's playing on Joni Mitchell's "Hejira" and "Shadows and light" - and Pat Metheny's first record "Bright size life" - and of course the records from Weather Report, especially "Heavy weather"...

		And Pastorius, who didn't take up the bass until age 17, enjoyed a meteoric rise at the peak of the jazz-fusion era three decades ago.
		By 1980, Pastorius began showing signs of mental illness and his career was in ruins.
		The new anthology is a testament to Pastorius' brilliance and is the brightest of several new CDs and reissues from the cream of the fusion-era bassists.

		I've been a Jaco fan for as far as I can remember and this compilation of his early works is not just exceptional among the ever released Jaco works, but I have never even seen a compilation so esthetical, professional and most of all in a musical sense brilliantly put together.

		In 1976, the first 10 minutes of this eponymous disc took the listener on a jazz world cruise directed by the instrumentalist-composer Jaco Pastorius, who thus gave notice that there was a new sheriff in town and that narrow definitions of jazz would simply not do.
		More so even than his groundbreaking work as a member of Weather Report, Jaco's music on this, his debut album as a leader (and in a trio setting with his soulmate Pat Metheny on the guitarist's maiden voyage, Bright Size Life), defines his greatness, his outreach, and his ambition.
		Pastorius took the bass from being a support instrument, to front and center, without being tedious or overdone.
