So magic..

An outstanding arranger and very good composer, as well as a revolutionary on the electric bass. NOBODY had even concieved of playing a bass like he did. Jaco changed the world of bass playing... and his innovations still reverberate throughout the world of bass playing today- some 30-40 years later.
A shame he died so young. Sometimes, the brightest comets burn that fastest.

@davejazzanova - Jaco just isn't on the level of Armstrong or Ellington - not in songwriting, influence in music, popularity, you name it.

@atty1chgo : I respect your opinion however, I don't think my assertion is ridiculous. I list the names of what I call true originals "There are very few "originals" like Pops (Armstrong) who can create their own context and master it completely." by this criteria I think Jaco belongs in that list. When I was in college, I was given a list of proper jazz musicians and the role and significance of each one. Maybe you suffered the same unfortunate fate? If so, You should throw out the orthodoxy.

@davejazzanova I love Jaco too, but let's not get carried away. The idea that Jaco Pastorius was as influential to jazz music and Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington is ridiculous. Joe Zawinul? An argument could be made for Joe. But Jaco? Your view is in the extreme minority.

jaco rulez. chorus pedal sux.

The greatest. Period.
-
I love the periods of dead silence in the audience and then applause etc. It would appear that at least this particular crowd knew they were witnessing greatness.
I wish I could have seen him live but I was 9 at this time. I don't think my folks were into jazz either :(

@lkoilkoilk Now robert trujillo from metallica has it.

Jaco is one of the most important Jazz artists of all time. His name belongs with Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Art Tatum and only a few others. There are very few "originals" like Pops (Armstrong) who can create their own context and master it completely. Jaco has no peer on the electric bass. His accomplishment goes so far beyond the context of Electric bass. He is so hard to describe, I just say "A force of Nature".

Jaco's mom was a giant Eagle from Middle Earth, and he was raised by wolves. His bass was carved from the wood of giant tress from the planet krypton, and before he decided to dominate on bass, he taught Chuck Norris karate.
