Description

(Book). A fitting tribute to the troubled genius who revolutionized electric bass playing and bridged the gaps between jazz, R&B, rock and funk. From his early days in R&B club bands through his international stardom with fusion group Weather Report and directly to his solo career and tragic death at age 35, this book portrays the life and music of Jaco Pastorius, the self-proclaimed “world’s greatest bass player.” This special anniversary edition features new interviews with Jaco’s childhood friends, prominent bass players of Jaco’s era and afterward, and girlfriend Teresa Nagell, who was once with Jaco in the previous couple of years of his life. Some incidents from the primary edition have been further researched and expanded to change into full chapters. Exclusive to this edition, the web audio features newly discovered music tracks from Jaco’s early years together with spoken testimonials from Jaco’s friends and associates. The book also incorporates new, never-before-seen photos acquired from the Pastorius estate.
