A fitting tribute to the troubled genius who revolutionized electric bass
playing and bridged the gaps between jazz, R, rock and funk. From his early
days in R club bands through his international stardom with fusion group
Weather Report and on 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 with Jaco in the
last few years of his life. Some incidents from the first edition have
beenfurther researched and expanded to become full chapters. Exclusive to
this edition, the online audio features newly revealed music tracks from
Jaco's early years along with spoken testimonials from Jaco's friends and
colleagues. The book also contains new, never-before-seen photos acquired
from the Pastorius estate.
