Jaco Pastorius: Modern Electric Bass (1985)

Synopsis of Jaco Pastorius: Modern Electric Bass

Widely regarded as one of the finest bassists of his generation, Jaco Pastorius combined remarkable technique and singular tone with an adventurous and highly melodic approach to his instrument, and his work with Weather Report, Herbie Hancock, and Joni Mitchell earned praise from musicians, critics, and fans before his tragic death in 1987. Originally released in 1985, Jaco Pastorius: Modern Electric Bass features the master musician demonstrating his techniques, offering his philosophies about music and performing, demonstrating practice exercises, and jamming with John Scofield and Kenwood Dennard. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
