  • There is nothing to be ashamed of here.Jaco surely stood on the shoulders of other GREAT players,but he was a perfect storm on his own.A head full of fabulous music,great fingers and a great ability to play "in the moment".Its pointless to speculate about drugs or mental illness when considering his gift and his impact.None of us were acquainted with him other than a handful of ppl who never knew more than half the story anyway.if he moved you at all,just dig it..if not,just walk on by.

  • jaco is god !

  • the mad genious of the bass

  • leo fender really knew what he was doing when he designed the jazz bass!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Crazy,Impressive and Interesting for sure! Educated people will see this for the real deal! SUPER!!!! Great!!!

    Simply My PLEASURE!!!!!

    Peace

    JaK

  • Great !!!

  • @Pastorius 333 No truer words spoke. Self medicating is not only dangerous but the people and places you end up in can be worse. Some of us are lucky enough to survive, and some others unfortunately are not. Wish people were more educated on drug and alcohol addiction along with mental illness.

  • @yeatsg

    I think he did come addicted, at least towards the end.

    Over-excessive consumption of malicious

    subtances while at the same time being a sufferer

    from bipolar illness is not a good combination.

    Many people who have to endure mental illness

    try to self-medicate them with alcohol and

    narcotics to escape from their increasingly

    difficult situation. Jaco was no exception.

  • Jaco Pastorius developed the bass as a solo instrument.
