Jaco Pastorius – S.T.

“Jaco is a phenomenon. He is able to make sounds on the bass that are a total surprise to the sensibilities. Not only single notes, but chords, harmonics, and all sorts of nuances with the color of the instrument that when combined and translated through Jaco make for the best music that I’ve heard in a long time. Of course, it’s not technique that makes the music; it’s the sensitivity of the musician and his ability to fuse his life with the rhythm of the times. This is the essence of music. On this record Jaco captures some of that rhythm.” – Herbie Hancock
