Starting to make a name at a very early age, Jaco Pastorius was raised to a legend status with his first solo album in 1976 and the following Weather Report years. Jaco Pastorius completely altered the significance of electric bass in jazz music and redefined bass playing for good. He freed his instrument from being merely a part of the rhythm section playing the lead whenever he liked. Also his incredible technical virtuosity with the fretless bass, enabled him an imaginative, melodic playing that sounds almost like singing.
As an instrumentalist, composer and arranger, he became widely influential and was admired by every bass player that came after him.
