It is a great honour to be invited as special guest in this live streaming presenting Jaco Pastorius’ discography for Musicoff series ‘Ti Consiglio Un Disco‘. The discussion will revolve around the music and career of the World’s Greatest Bass Player, his style and his approach to the bass. I will be playing some tracks live and analyse his most representative compositions and trademark bass lines.

Jaco Pastorius has, without a doubt, profoundly changed the way we perceive the electric bass and its role in a band. His distinctive tone, grooves, and solos literally came from another planet – like if he was an Alien Boy – and became so iconic that Jaco had influenced generations of bass players and, I am sure, more to come.
“Jaco opened the door, and we just walked through”.
How to divulge the bass to a wider audience? Take it on the telly! Here’s a very fun and unconvetional experience I had when I showed up at a talent show demonstrating some other ways to make music with just the bass – or like Victor Wooten would say “Me and my Bass Guitar”.
My intent was to share my passion for music with the hope to inspire to play an instrument – preferibly the bass 🙂 – and shed some light on one fundamental instrument which is rarely under the spotlight.
