September 21 is Jaco Pastorius’ death anniversary. Bass players all over the world will once again pay tribute to a man who took the electric bass to a whole new level and blew away its limitations. Those who knew him miss him. They miss Jaco: the musician, the artist, the bass player, the father, and the friend. For us who only knew him through his music, one thing’s for sure — he has definitely left a smile on our faces. With every note that he played, he made an impact in our lives, even changing it at some point. He may be gone, but his music lives on — in all of us. >>> read more <<< What's your Jaco story? Paano niyo siya nakilala at ano ang naging impact niya sa music, playing, at buhay niyo? Let us all pay tribute to Jaco Pastorius... the greatest bass player who ever lived!

Nung una kong nakilala si Jaco was when a bassist friend of mine showed a YouTube video of Portrait of Tracy pero di ko pa siya ma-appreciate nun. Mas na-appreciate ko si Marcus Miller playing Run for Cover na pinakita rin niya sa kin at that time kasi bata pa ako nun and like most of us, nagsimula ang hilig ko sa flashy playing.
But when I started to get into jazz (at the same time that I got really fascinated with the harmonic technique), I started to watch a lot of Jaco vids and really appreciate the man.
However, it was not his technicality and musicianship that really got me; it was his attitude of doing what he wanted to do even if that was not the conventional way, his attitude of going against the flow.

Bukang bibig ng mga nakilala kong bahista nung naguumpisa pa lang ako si Mr. Pastorius. Unang album ko na narinig siya ay Night Passage ng Weather Report, unang kanta pa lang ay nasira na ulo ko sa kaya niyang gawin. (5:02 - 5:23)

i think the real magic behind Jaco is... even though you're not really into the type of music that he plays... or even though you can't pull off any of the things he does... after you get exposed to his music, you experience some sort of change. parang moment of enlightenment or inspiration. tipong before and after Jaco. I can't explain it eh, pero ganun talaga katindi ang impact niya. sobrang inspiring talaga siya

Una kong nakilala si Jaco nung tumitingin ako ng bass lesson video sa Quiapo. Nakita ko yung Modern Electric Bass Video nya. I never heard of him before pero binili ko pa din. Nung napanood ko, I was blown away! ALthough, yun yung time na medyo "rusty" na yung chops nya. But still, mahusay pa din. I became a fan instantly. Simula nun, naghanap na ko ng cd's, mp3 at iba pang video nya.
I even pulled the frets out of my bass! Haha!
Sadly, his life ended too soon. But he will be remembered.
