Fra omslaget: "This book looks deep inside the life and music of Jaco Pastorius, the talented but tormented musician who revolutionized the electric bass in modern music. Like the heroes Charlie Parker and Jimi Hendrix, Jaco didn't make it to 40. But by the time he died at 35, he had reinvented the role of the bass-playing melodies, chords, harmonics, and percussive effects smultaneously, and bridging the gaps between jazz, classical, R&B, and rock. From his early days in R&B club bands through his international stardom with fusion group Weather Report and on to his solo career and tragic death at age 35, this book portrays the life and music of Jaco Pastorius, the self-proclaimed world's greatest bass player.
