 Topic: Jaco PastoriusPosted: November 17 2006 at 04:34 |

I would have assumed that Jaco was already here, so much so that I didn't even bother checking...
Fusion? No way. Jazz-Rock more likely for I've seen him perform tributes dedicated to Hendrix for up to 60 minutes at a time, playing solo, whilst the rest of Weather Report remained somewhat redundant... - and rightly so. They were tired and bored, unlike Jaco who was having great pleasure.
"Live in NY, volumes I-IV represent a middle ground of his approach in general whilst his contribution to WR that greatly assisted the band's image is perhaps less important, but earned him a living.
His inclusion in the Archives is only a few years overdue....

The Weather Report is on the site, but the architects of the band aren't....if there is a wave of support for Jaco then there should be a tsunami of support for Zawinul.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Contributions to jazz rock fusionist additions always welcome!
Jaco is jazz - nah, where did that come from????!!!!! Can't remember Jaco playing double bass which would have been in keeping of jazz bassist.
Jaco wasn't the first fretless bass player - indeed the story goes, to get himself a fretless bass he pulled the frets out of his 4 string with pliers, and filled in the holes with epoxy putty.

I agree that fusion was what he excelled in and while others try ,they just can't manage to reach his technical prowess and chops. What a loss to the world of music. Include him with my blessing, please.

One of the best, most influential bassists ever, the late, great Jaco Pastorius certainly belongs here.
He was a pioneer of the fretless bass, and yes, I see him as a fusion artist.
Where he led, many followed. Edited by Peter Rideout - September 10 2006 at 17:26 |

I thought he was just jazz not jazz-rock/fusion, but I've not heard the majority of his work.

I've already posted this on the "Bands Out Of PA" thread, but I think I wouldn't recieve so much attention, so:
The other day I realised that surprisingly, the solo career of the best bassist in the Earth, JACO PASTORIUS, isn't on this site
