MR Jaco Pastorius has got to be the REASON why todays bass player STILL has someone to look up to..to emulate, but NEVER EQUAL...respectfully.. he is my bass Jesus.. my axe Allah..our 4 string father in heaven.. been playing for over 20 years, will have to play for another 20 years to earn tone and groove near Jaco`s benchmark jam...his mould was broken and thrown away...pity..
His loop almost sounds like the one he used to play in Offenbach at 1978. Unfortunately I was born ten years too late to see him performing there :( Nevertheless, great tune from one of the greatest bass players :-)

@andreg81 The riff at the end is from a Buddy Miles song called "Them Changes". Buddy also recorded a live version when he was in Band of Gypsys with Jimi Hendrix.
Fantastic as always. I'd like to go see his son Felix play in New York, he plays at the Zinc Bar every Monday at 9:00 pm for all the next month. An opportunity to not let go!

What a huge waste of a truly talented human being was Jaco's untimely death! Rest in peace Jaco! I pray God have mercy on all of our souls!

The first bass line Jaco plays is from 'Sing A Simple Song' by Sly and the Family Stone.

I saw him do this same piece at the Hollywood Bowl in the early 80's. That was one memorable show.
