Lauderdale, in 1958, that’s how it got the spelling I use (Jaco substitutes a t for the d in Lauderdale), because that’s how the guys from Cuba and Jamaica would spell it.” “He didn’t want anyone calling me Jack, like everyone else named John, so he started calling me Jaco. Neither did his father, a drummer and singer in Norristown, Penn., when John Francis Pastorius III was born on Dec. They knew they had some guy who could play a lot of bass, but they didn’t know they had a writer as well.” The people at Epic (which released his first album, Jaco Pastorius) probably got a little more than they bargained for when they signed me. “I consider myself as much a writer as a bass player,” says Jaco, who avoids boasting but never slights what he perceives as his real assets. In his extraordinary control and imaginative usage of the electric bass’ harmonics alone, he has sketched a stylistic device of sizable potential.īut more than that, he has burst upon the scene with a wholly mature and wildly successful compositional ability that draws in varying doses upon jazz, modern rhythm and blues, the classics and the music of the by now familiar Caribbean, from the reggae riffs of Kingston Town to the steel drum bands of Trinidad. In fact, he has almost single-handedly opened a heretofore unimagined world of resources for the instrument, forging in ultrasuede sound that at once encompasses the tonal characteristics and phrasing idiosyncrasies of amplified guitar and bass fiddle. Jaco’s playing is nothing less than revolutionary. The corresponding hurricane of music that has been unleashed by Florida on a hardly expectant world goes by the unlikely name of Jaco Pastorius, the 25-year-old, man-child of the Caribbean who popped up in early 1976 on a startling debut album of his own design, simultaneously replaced Alphonso Johnson in the fusion music showcase Weather Report whose music he had never listened to before joining the band and at once began to redefine the conception and connotations of the electric bass guitar. And a lot of music from down there is like that, the pulse is smooth even if the rhythms are angular, and the pulse will take you before you know it. But when a hurricane comes, look out, it’s more ferocious there than anywhere else. “It’s a little bit calmer down there we don’t have waves in South Florida, all that much. “The water in the Caribbean is much different from other oceans,” Jaco says. But no one thinks of Florida as a source of American music. Still others revel in the broad paradox of a mecca for retirees on the site of Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth, or the full-circle irony of a land discovered by Spaniards being gradually inundated by the Spanish- speaking.

Petersburg for some it is the gateway to the new frontier represented by Cape Canaveral, for others the far older frontier that is the Everglades. Some people think of Miami Beach, others warm to the less hectic conjuration of Ft. “I can feel it when I’m there.” The concept of Florida is not a constant among Americans. I can’t explain it, but I know what it is.” He pauses to unclasp his hands, like gangly sandcrabs, and drop his lanky arms to the sides of his lanky body. There’s something about the Caribbean Ocean, it’s why all that music from down there sounds like that. “There’s a real rhythm in Florida,” Jaco Pastorius says in a voice saturated in matter-of-fact.
