I think not. There are so many Jaco Pastorius torrents at dime all the time. To me, it just seems he's surrounded by more buzz because he was somewhat good-looking. I don't care for jazz fusion & so I couldn't care less. His older material is better, and although he is a great bassist & a virtuoso musician, he's still not in the same class as legends like Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen (NHOP), Ron Carter, Jimmy Garrison, Reggie Workman, Stanley Clarke, Dave Holland, Charlie Haden or Scott LaFaro.
He's probably not even as good as Tony Levin.
As a creator of sounds, he's definitely no Charles Mingus either.

I used the word "somewhat," did I not?

As jazz bassists go, Jaco is, in general, more attractive than most.

We all see the only thing you cared to concern yourself with, Cantankerous.

Cantankerous will never hear NHOP...her loss.

Jazz fusion is puke.

Cantankerous · 08.27.2006, 02:17 PM

not even somewhat. not even remotely.

Cantankerous · 08.27.2006, 02:20 PM

porkmarras · 08.27.2006, 02:22 PM

Weather Report is cheesy as hell.

atari 2600 · 08.27.2006, 02:28 PM

jazz fusion reeks of cheese.
wha? you wrote he mightl ook okay without the bangs (but YOU edited your post), & I posted the pic, Cantank.

He is probably in the top 25 bassists of all-time. He can really wail.

Hang on a sec......

Cantankerous · 08.27.2006, 02:29 PM

he would really benefit from a lot of plastic surgery.

acousticrock87 · 08.27.2006, 02:32 PM

The most attractive male bassist ever is obviously Jack Casady.

He probably looks a lot worse now, having been deceased since 1987 and all.

corpse plastic surgery is quite common. courtney love has been dead for years, and look at her.

It sure isn't Phil Lesh haha although Phil can play circles around most anyone.
