	jeremy	jaco changed my entire standard of appreciation for music. his concept of a bassline (not to mention a melody) slapped me in the face at age 16. if he were still alive today, i'd love to hear what he had to play. women and rhythm section first!   Posted by jeremy on Friday, September 21, 2007 - 1:34 PM [Reply to this]

	david	i think he had a kick ass sense of humor according to what ive heard and he loved the hell out of his family and you were his little queen mary three views of a secret kicked ass, i loved john and mary too god bless eric clapton and his tears in heaven but jaco included the kids in a song while everyone was still around living that was awesome he immortalized himself and john and mary forever in a song doesnt get much better than that and i believe in this screwed up life there is a heaven and jaco is in it - had a dream with him in it once i play bass and we were sitting on a wall with a stream downhill and i was looking at the stream and looked over at him all he said was why dont you practice which i wasnt at the time true story believe it or not   Posted by david on Tuesday, January 15, 2008 - 9:26 PM [Reply to this]

	Mark Dunn	I met Jaco only once, in Buffalo. We talked briefly. As I was leaving the club, he shook my hand and said "Adios". I still hear the sound of his voice. I was shocked when I heard the news of his passing. I stared into space for awhile, but it really hit me about 2 weeks later. I woke up one morning and cried for an hour. I still miss his sound, there has been no one like him since. God Bless you Pastorius family. thank you for sharing your dad, son, husband, and friend with us. Peace.   Posted by Mark Dunn on Friday, September 21, 2007 - 9:26 PM [Reply to this]

	Jacky Van Tongeren/Project	Great comment, Mark. I miss his sound and vision too....after Jaco we hear and have a lotta skills on Bass, but nothing new, powerful and groovy like him. Rejj   Posted by Jacky Van Tongeren/Project on Thursday, September 27, 2007 - 3:30 AM [Reply to this]

	Jacky Van Tongeren/Project	Every word above is what I feel and believe too. Nowadays, we have fast Bass-players with unbelievable skills, but no-one with the expression of Jaco. It's not about skills or education I believe...it's about personality and vision.... His mind with his hands.....

	Mint Mama	Jaco Pastorius was the consummate bass player; plenty of imitators and even emulators, but the soul he brought to his music simply cannot be duplicated. He was one of the "rare breed" of musicians; a musical genius. Now there are plenty of excellent musicians, folks, but I'm talking about a MUSICAL GENIUS. That's truly a rarity, but I definitely count Jaco as one. I didn't get this old for nothing; Mint Mama knows what she's talkin' about!!! Wow, it really does seem like yesterday when I learned of his tragic, unfortunate transition into eternity. But we can take solace in the fact that he left an indellible mark in the music industry, and he'll NEVER be forgotten. An innovator ... Sir Jaco Pastorius!   Posted by Mint Mama on Friday, October 05, 2007 - 1:08 PM [Reply to this]

	enrico	Thanks Jaco! My ears are eternally grateful to you your passage on earth has enriched the life of so many people, not only musicians your music cover all the emotive spectrum of human beings from moving the butt to goose bumps and tears sweet and savage just like Life.   Posted by enrico on Thursday, November 15, 2007 - 8:10 PM [Reply to this]

	Ale	It seems yesterday that I startet playing bass, it seems yesterday that my teacher made me listen to Portrait of Tracy (best song I've ever heard)..I feel kind of sad thinking about the fact that I'll never be able to see him play live.... Do you Know who ? Could I show you ? Do you know who Jaco was? Who was Jaco...   Posted by Ale on Sunday, December 02, 2007 - 4:55 AM [Reply to this]

	Booty "d" Bassmaker	I will always remember the first time I heard his playing, I was so blown away!!! When I researched further, and found out was a Florida boy, like me, I was even more impressed. When I found out he was already gone, I felt empty inside, knowing I would never get to experience him live. Every note I play, everytime I pick up my bass, I try to pay tribute to him in my own little way. His playing was so incredible, and he made it sound so effortless. I am so sorry to his friends and family for the loss that I'm sure is still felt today. Somehow, I know he is smiling down on us, knowing that he touched and influenced so many people. Long live his memory, and his music!   Posted by Booty "d" Bassmaker on Tuesday, January 15, 2008 - 8:55 PM [Reply to this]

	COWBOY ERNIE "ROLL TIDE"	we lost my reason i picked up the bass and listened to weather report and learned so much of what a bass guitar can do harmonics,playing with the bridge pickup tone turned down with stereo chorus,i was taught how to play with feel and medley and then came the slap,jaco thank you for everything we all miss you on that dreadfull day,what happenend to you was evil,i know your in heaven giving the pro's tip's on playing that fender jazz. we all miss you ernie the funky white boy   Posted by COWBOY ERNIE "ROLL TIDE" on Tuesday, January 15, 2008 - 9:15 PM [Reply to this]
