gone but not forgotten.... jaco...


It was 20 years ago today that Jaco Pastorius was tragically taken away from us. Even though he only lived 35 years he still left us with so many gifts. His music..his playing..they will live on forever. He accomplished the ultimate goal of every musician. He influences, he inspires, and he has changed peoples lives. For these things he will always be celebrated. But September 21st will always be a sad day for most people who knew or even heard of Jaco Pastorius. It is the day we all lost the best bass player that this planet will ever know. More importantly, we lost a son. We lost a brother. We lost a father of four children. We lost a friend....We love you and miss you Jaco!!

John Francis Anthony Pastorius III
December 1, 1951-September 21, 1987
