This may not be the most influential jazz album ever, but Jaco Pastorius has influenced every bass player who has ever heard him. So maybe we should refrase this. Most inflluential bass player ever.

I'm going to say the most influential jazz album is Kind of Blue by Miles Davis.

Jaco is an amazing player, but I still can't seem to be amazed with this album. His tone kinda bugs me, how it's so plain. He set the precedent for electric bass, definitely, but I have yet to love his music.

I've heard some stuff from Jaco, I might check this out.

i want to eat his soul and steal his talent for THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE

Ahhhhh jaco the divine player and greatest bassist that ever walked the green earth. MAy he rest in peace. I really liek this album alot Portait of tracy is the best track and really shows his talent. You should also check out his work with Pat methany good shit. BRIGHT SIZE LIFE is the grestest work ever.

I know how to play the first few phrases of Continuum. How leet is that?

Jaco was without a doubt the greatest bassist of his time. His debut album is definitely outstanding, and showed a lot of potential for what he could have continued to do. It's too bad he got himself bashed over the head by some bouncer trying to get into a club.

I loove Jaco, and this was a great reveiw. However I would go as far being more specfic saying Jaco is "The Best 4-string bassist" and the most influential "fretless bassist" Check out Bassists Jean Baudin and Stew McKinsey. The tapping bass is really starting to become popular now. The nine, 10, 11 string basses, not as popular as of yet but we'll see...

Thus guy is amazing :')

Digging this guy recently. He's quite the bassist. I definitly need some of his stuff.
Is this guy hailed as an amazing bassist? Just wondering because I found out about him by accident and have heard nothing but opinions from the random posts I've read on here and you can't always trust a fanboy.This Message Edited On 12.23.06

Jaco kind of sucks.

I figured.
I wouldn't say he sucks Eliminator, he's pretty talented from what I have heard.

His songs suck, so therefore, he sucks.

Opinions.
