If Jaco had his way, he would not wish his killer to burn in hell... It wasn't in him. Hate is not something he believed in, ever. Please don't waste your time hating and instead find a way to honor him productively.

@Hakulanni Even if he didint wish him to burn in hell I think Jaco who seems like a conservative and smart person would not want this guy running around posing a threat to others so save up the pussy talk. Murderers deserve death, they serve no purpus in life.

Bobby who?

Jaco Pastorius opened up the electric bass, particularly fretless bass, to its true heart and soul just as Luigi Boccherini did for the cello. Unfortunately he suffered from Manic Depressive disease just as Mozart, Mussorgsky and Tchaikovsky. And regardless of what Pat Metheny said there are several bass players who may be in their own right as good as Jaco was. For Hendrix it is McLaughlin, Holdsworth, Vai, Johnson and Keaggy- and others.
