  Jaco Pastorius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jaco Pastorius (born as: John Anthony Pastorius III, December 1, 1951–September 21, 1987) was a jazz bassist and composer who was notable for his amazing technique and virtuoso playing style.
Pastorius was born in Pennsylvania, but soon moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where he was raised.
Jaco was an avid player of the Fender Jazz Bass and was pretty much never seen playing anything else other than his sunburst 1962 model, which carried his innovation of the fretless.

 Jaco Pastorius - Wikipédia
Né en Pennsylvanie, Jaco Pastorius est encore enfant quand sa famille s'installe en Floride.
Jaco Pastorius a radicalement modifié le rôle de son instrument : d'abord en développant un jeu de basse nouveau caractérisé par un groove envoûtant, par l'utilisation d'harmoniques artificielles, d'effets percussifs, d'accords et en jouant avec une basse fretless.
Jaco Pastorius semble avoir souffert de ce que les psychiatres nomment un trouble bipolaire, c’est-à-dire des variations de l'humeur extrêmement handicapantes au point de perturber la vie sociale du sujet (alternance de très vive euphorie et d'état dépressif).

Jaco Pastorius went to the great gig in the sky on September 21, 1987.
And so there you have it, bass playing circa 1976 A P (After Pastorius) was everything that it wanted to be.
The album begins with the intensely be-bop Donna Lee, a Charlie Parker tune that shows off Jaco's fluid, effortless lines and blistering technique.

 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.

 Joni Mitchell
The songs on her first two solo albums Joni Mitchell (Song to a Seagull) (1968) and Clouds (1969) were archetypes of the nascent singer-songwriter movement of the time.
Court and Spark was also notable for the first echoes of the influence of jazz on Mitchell's work, and despite the commercial success of the more mainstream tracks, she would spend the rest of the decade producing largely jazz inflected music.
The first such album, The Hissing of Summer Lawns (1975), was also a lyrical departure, with the confessional style replaced by a series of vignettes of 1970s women, from nightclub dancers ("Edith and the Kingpin") to the bored wives of the wealthy ("The Hissing of Summer Lawns" and "Harry's House").

 Jaco Pastorius
The singing, sliding, rubbery, vibrato laden punch of Jaco's fretless '62 Fender jazz is still being felt today through bassists who were either taught by him or who've adopted a similar throaty timbre as 'their' sound.
With the reissue of his eponymous first album on Epic, recorded in 1976, now remixed from the original analogue master tapes, and in the 14th year after Jaco's untimely demise, the time is ripe for a reappraisal of his influence and the eclectic and masterful body of work he left behind.
And Jaco was doing things way differently in another way, which his whole thing was more of a lighter kind of funk thing you know, as opposed to a rock and roll thing.

 CD Baby: JACO PASTORIUS: Portrait of Jaco - The Early Years
This CD is an absolute must have for Jaco fans, bass players, and people in general who are interested in the development of genius for that is truly what Jaco was.
jaco was the best bass player that ever lived and i jeff lawrence am the best guitarist that ever lived and i hope the money for this cd is going to his children cause if not it is a travesty and jaco would not have wanted some of these songs released
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.

 Jaco Pastorius - a Brief History
That was the year that Jaco released his self-titled first solo album, played with both Pat Metheny and Joni Mitchell (at one time, Joni's band was Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays, Jaco and Tony Williams [wait 5 minutes before reading on...
It was Jaco's ability, as composer and player, to go from the most blistering, rocking solos (Jaco called his style "punk jazz"), to the most elegant and eloquent ballads.
The producer of his first album, Bobby Colomby(sp?) of Blood, Sweat and Tears fame, tells a story of Jaco, when he was unknown, shopping his tapes to the record companies.

 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Jaco Pastorius [Remaster] - Jaco Pastorius at Epinions.com
This album is Jaco Pastorius' debut and therefore a landmark in the carreer of the man who would change the face of electric bass playing forever!
Jaco Pastorius is better known as a former Weather Report bassist, which contributed to catapult the formation into world fame after the release of their gold album Heavy Weather (I've reviewed that one too).
Anyway, the album kicks off with an amazing version of Charlie Parker's Donna Lee; the bass frantically plays the melody at a tempo of 300 bpm as it is accompanied in the back by some light percussion.

 Various Artists | Who Loves You?: A Tribute to Jaco Pastorius   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Everyone on this all-star collection was deeply influenced by Jaco in some way, be it his bass prowess, adventurous spirit, or unpredictable but endearing personality.
The album’s title is a Kojak catchphrase that Jaco loved to use around friends and strangers alike, reflecting just a bit of the extraordinary, uninhibited, fearless character known as Jaco.
Jaco developed his own signature tone on the fretless bass by finger-picking down close to the bridge pickup and boosting its volume.

Thoroughly researched and fairly balanced Jaco: The Extraordinary and Tragic Life of Jaco Pastorius: 'the World's Greatest Bass Player' stands as a worthy examination of bassist/composer Jaco Pastorius' heartrending life.
Jaco emerges as largely self-taught, his fine tuning accomplished while jamming with local (South Florida) rock/fusion musicians.
Jaco's personal problems stem from several factors: inability/unwillingness to maintain ordinary, respectful relationships with others; show biz persona instilled by his father; egocentric compulsion to perpetuate his own mystique/eccentricity; his ability to reason temporarily and permanently impaired by drugs; self-destructive obsession; mental illness.

Pastorius was the founding father of the modern electric bass.
Pastorius gave the bass a creative voice and a space to breathe.
A Pastorius favorite, Elegant People is a mixture of wicked orchestration by Larry Warrilow, kinetic bass player Gerald Veasley, Jason Carder on hard-driving trumpet and a killer band.

 www.zawinulfans.org - Jaco Pastorius
Nato in Pennsylvania, Jaco Pastorius vive la sua infanzia a Fort Lauderdale, dove inzia giovanissimo a suonare il basso elettrico con gruppi RandB e pop, raggiungendo prestissimo una certa notorietà nell'ambito locale.
Pastorius resterà nei WR fino al 1981, divenendo già dal 1977 co-produttore dei dischi del gruppo e lasciando, in questi anni, un segno assolutamente indelebile nella storia del jazz moderno, divenendo immediatamente il punto di riferimento dei giovani musicisti del basso elettrico.

 New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock W
A great keyboard album [this is the album in which he uses the Birotron, a Mellotron substitute he co-invented with David Biro -Ed.].
The album's highlight, for me at least, is the 13-minute closing track "...A Dance of Shadows" which slowly rumbles and evolves through melancholy themes, spooky Mellotron and theremin textures and a resonant open-string guitar arpeggio to twice resolve its tension into what is one of the most hauntingly beautiful vocal melodies I have ever heard.
Throughout the album the power of this music is in thoughtful, colourful arrangements and inspired performances that transcend the deceptively-simple structures and accessible melodies, and when all these elements click, the music is nothing short of magnificent; however, this is not everywhere, and some pieces could have been developed further.

 BILL MILKOWSKI INTERVIEWS JACO PASTORIUS
Not: Jaco's flawless intonation on his fretless is aided by the fret positions marked on the neck- the fret grooves that have been filled in.)
Note: Jaco often uses this gadget for a kind of tape loop effect on his "Purple Haze" tribute to Hendrix.
A good example of that effect is the title cut from the 8:30 album, or the tune "Continuum" from my first album, or "Reza" and "Continuum" from the live Invitation album.

In his brief, blazing career, Jaco Pastorius proved he could do almost everything--except handle the fame that his talent brought him.
His stunning 1976 debut album put the electric bass in an entirely new light, and soon he became a superstar as a member of Weather Report.
A tragic downward spiral led to his death in 1987, but he will long be remembered as a soloist, composer, accompanist, and outrageous showman without equal.

 ANOTHER SIDE OF JACO PASTORIUS> Resensi Album Jazz
Jazzpoint Records merilis CD "Another Side of Jaco Pastorius" (ASOJP) setelah sebelumnya meremaster/reissue album-album Jaco Pastorius dalam kemasan 2 in 1 antara lain "Live in Italy & Honestly" (JP 1059), "Heavy'n Jazz & Stuttgart Aria" (JP 1058) dan "Broadway Blues & Teresa" (JP 1053).
Yang menarik juga adalah komposisi "Jaco Reggae" karya dari bassist Jan Jankeje yang mengadaptasi beat-beat dari musik reggae tapi masih dalam nuansa jazz rock yang kental.
Bagi para penggemar Jaco Pastorius sesi dia di Eropa bersama Bireli Lagrene ini patut dijadikan prioritas karena band yang mereka bentuk ini tidak kalah dengan grup-grup Jaco sebelumnya bahkan mungkin musiknya lebih matang dan beragam.
