	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.

	JacoPastorius.com : New Releases : Portrait of Jaco, the Early Years
		This richly illustrated boxed "Portrait Of Jaco" comes complete with an oversized 80-page full-color companion booklet of never-before-seen photos and a seamless overview of text and liner notes that cover the entire 10 years of Jaco's development in Florida.
		This multimedia experience takes you all the way back to the beginning when Jaco was developing his sound, his chops, his style, and his writing skills...back to when he was brazenly ignoring all the rules and well on his way to re-defining the role and sound of the electric bass.
		Aside from the fact that it contains incredible never-before-heard recordings of Jaco during his early years, it's got the most endearing spoken word reflections from Jaco's family, friends, colleagues, all the great icons he played with, and we hear from the man himself.

	Jaco the Early Years » The Early Years Story
		And for those who recognized Jaco's genius and became addicted to his 'medicine,' were now left to seek out the various live recordings of his later years that became objects of desire in the absence of anything new.
		As far as the "Portrait of Jaco" project was concerned, I was initially planning to release a CD of only music and began to compile some of my favorite recordings that I knew to be historically valuable.
		You see, "Portrait of Jaco" was not to be a typical album of studio cuts containing the same 5 or 6 players produced with attention to maintaining continuity.

	CD Baby: JACO PASTORIUS: Portrait of Jaco - The Early Years
		"Portrait of Jaco - The Early Years" takes you all the way back to the beginning when Jaco was developing his sound, his chops, his style, and his writing skills...back to when he was brazenly ignoring all the rules and well on his way to re-defining the role and sound of the electric bass.
		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.
		From the early years of singing with Jaco's father, Jack and the discussions and recordings with the old Los Olas Brass, Wayne Cochran and the CC Rider's, Ira Sullivan, Little Beaver, the Peter Graves Orchestra, to Pat Metheny and Joni Mitchell and finally Weather Report.

	[No title]
		Portrait of Jaco: The Early Years, a two-CD audio tour through the early years of the self-proclaimed “world’s greatest bass player,” features loads of previously unreleased music and remembrances from friends who were there.
		Portrait ends with a heartbreaking send-off from Zawinul—backed by Jaco’s sublime work on the band’s “Cannonball”—who gives Jaco the ultimate accolade by putting him on equal footing with himself and saxophonist Wayne Shorter as the nucleus of Weather Report.
		Kaufman’s first job for Jaco was to replace the peeling epoxy, which he did by using his own method of pouring on the epoxy in one treatment and shaping it with a rasp.

	Jaco the Early Years » About Portrait of Jaco
		And although "Portrait" is literally loaded with new and historically significant recordings, it's not just about the music; it's about Jaco the person and the times in which he lived.
		And remember, "Portrait of Jaco" consists primarily of recordings Jaco HIMSELF listened to and laughed out-loud about back in the day.
		But most of all it is important to note that the spoken words about Jaco from family members, close friends, and fellow musicians who were there with Jaco during his early years, are essential to this presentation and is something that has been missing in Jaco's legacy until this release.

	The Jaco Continuum
		Jaco was the first one to come along and forcefully stake out a unique place for himself strictly on the electric bass guitar.
		Jaco was taken to the Pompano Detention Center, where he was to remain for the next month.
		Next up is a 78-minute, all-music CD companion to Portrait that includes complete versions of the box set’s songs as well as the world debut of “Ballye de Nina,” a live, 13-minute track Jaco composted for his daughter Mary in 1973.

	Doug's musings - Portrait of Jaco
		Pat Metheny spoke of Jaco’s musicality in the most glowing terms, and alluded to his sad decline due to what his daughter describes in the liner notes as manic depression.
		In the early 90's I bought a badly-recorded CD of Jaco playing live sometime in the mid-80's and was disappointed.
		A couple of my favorite moments: Jaco talking, in 1974, to Bob Bobbing, the creator of the collection, playing chords made up entirely of harmonics, telling him what each chord is. Bob asks if he can play a particular scale using only harmonics, and without hesitation Jaco fires off the scale.

		It was Jaco and for the next hour or so they interviewed him and played cuts from his first solo album.
		Though it's been over twenty years now, I recall the interviewer asking Jaco how he got so many big Jazz stars to be on his first record.
		Jaco said that his producer hooked him up with Herbie Hancock and from there they just called in the right people to get the job done.

		Loaded with new insights about Jaco's amazing life, including new revelations about his final days, this special Anniversary Edition takes a greatly expanded look at the man who revolutionized his instrument and became one of the most potent and influential forces in modern jazz.
		During his meteoric rise from obscurity to international jazz super-stardom, Jaco altered the course of modern music and opened a door that generations of bass players have since walked through.
		Jaco often said "It ain't braggin' if you can back it up," and this book reveals he usually did.

	Jaco Pastorius, Portrait of Jaco
		His first gig is presented, as Jaco (at that time spelled Jocko) played drums; then an experimental home recording of Jocko's first attempts on the bass; and an early recording of an organ trio called Woodchuck (with B-3 phenom Billy Burke).
		Jaco's chords challenge the pan players to go beyond the limits of their instrument, just as he always did.
		As an introduction to his music, and as a memorial to his talent, Portrait of Jaco is an outstanding anthology of music and biography.

		You may remember that Jaco Pastorius played with Wayne and that the only place to find any rare tracks of the CC Riders was on a compilation album titled "Portrait of Jaco: The Early Years" on Holiday Park Records.
		She emphasizes that Jaco was killed by a violent man that beat him to death, not by his illness or his manic behavior.
		One can't help but think that even a few years later with progress in the treatment of manic depressive disease and a better understanding of the chemcial imbalances that cause it, Jaco might have received the treatment he needed and returned to a full, creative life.

	Jaco the Early Years » Guestbook
		I have an infinite amount of gratitude for Jaco and his music as in my opinion, he was a genius and creator of music beyond the scope of what anyone was trying to do.
		I have yet to discover more about J.P. I'm sure "Portrait of Jaco" will cover some of the empty spaces in anyone's knowledge of J.P. I recently listened to a recording of Jaco with Al DiMeola, and once again it was a pleasant suprise.
		Jaco Pastorius was, is, and always will be a continued inspiration to me. Truly the "Worlds greatest bass player".

		His lifelong friend and fan, Bob Bobbing, has dedicated several labor of love years to producing this early years anthology that for the first time provides a comprehensive look back into the events and music that led up to Jaco's ground breaking solo debut on EPIC.
		Amazingly, this is the very railroad crossing that Jaco heard countless times before during his youth from his early years home in Oakland Park, Florida.
		Jaco continues by saying "I was raised by the best musicians in the world, and I know where I stole every, note!" It turns out that these spoken words were taken from the last recording of Jaco before he died in September of 1987.

		The problem with these discs is that many of the interviews are given overtop of those precious recordings that are so hard to find, instead of being their own individual tracks.

		As a testimonial to Jaco's mind-numbing talent, there are no substandard performances the listener has to sit through.
		The first CD features Jaco with Bireli Lagrene and Peter Lubke (this is the last real band he worked with before his death) basically jamming in a studio situation.
		The second CD is a bunch of takes of a new tune that Jaco had written for his then-girlfriend called Theresa which is a nice little waltz in the style of 3 Views of a Secret.

		Jaco i'm pretty surprised you mention him, Jaco is the man who changed the concept of bass.
		I never understand why I didn't show interest years ago, although I think I know the answer; there are many different Jazz styles and I only heard the ones I didn't like.
		It's such a shame Jaco was such a f*** up, in his persoal life, and it eventually killed him.

		"These were Jaco's 'Garden of Eden' years in Florida when he was healthy, happy, making music and enjoying life, and you can hear that positive attitude throughout these recordings," said teenage friend Bob Bobbing, who drew much of the music from his collection of raw, live recordings.
		Grammy-winning artists Pat Metheny, Joe Zawinul, Herbie Hancock and Joni Mitchell added some of their own early recordings with the early Jaco plus interviews about their collaborations and relationships.
