Jaco
Pastorius
Jaco
Pastorius was a meteor who blazed onto the scene in the
1970s, only to flame out tragically in the 1980s. With a
brilliantly fleet technique and fertile melodic imagination,
Pastorius made his fretless electric bass leap out from the
depths of the rhythm section into the front line with fluid
machine-gun-like passages that demanded attention. He also
sported a strutting, dancing, flamboyant performing style
and posed a further triple-threat as a talented composer,
arranger and producer. He and Stanley Clarke were the
towering influences on their instrument in the
1970s. Though
born in Pennsylvania, Pastorius grew up in Fort Lauderdale,
where he played with visiting R&B and pop acts while
still a teenager and built a reputation as a local legend.
Everything started to come together for him quickly once he
started playing with another rookie fusionmeister, Pat
Metheny, around 1974. By 1976, he had been invited to join
Weather Report, where he remained until 1981, gradually
becoming a third lead voice along with Joe Zawinul and Wayne
Shorter. Outside Weather Report, he found himself in
constant demand as a sessionman and producer, playing on
Joni Mitchell, Blood Sweat and Tears, Paul Bley, Bireli
Lagrene and Ira Sullivan albums - and his first eponymous
solo album for Epic in 1976 was hailed as a tour de force.
From 1980 to 1984, he toured and recorded with his own band,
the innovative Word Of Mouth that fluctuated in size from a
large combo to a big band. Alas,
Pastorius became overwhelmed by mental problems, exacerbated
by drugs and alcohol, in the mid-`80s, leading to several
embarrassing public incidents (one was a violent crackup
onstage at Hollywood Bowl in mid-set at the 1984 Playboy
Jazz Festival). Such episodes made him a pariah in the music
business and toward the end of his life, he had become a
street person, reportedly sighted in drug-infested
inner-city hangouts. He died in 1987 from a physical beating
sustained while trying to break into the Midnight Club in
Fort Lauderdale. Though almost totally forgotten at the time
of his death, Pastorius was immediately canonized afterwards
(Miles Davis even wrote a tune "Mr. Pastorius" in his honor)
- too late for him to have received therapy or help. --
