The life of Jaco Pastorius, the master of the bass guitar, was brilliant and turbulent. But it is possible to see, using the title of one of his most famous compositions, a continuum to his life that is mirrored by the continuum of these poems, which celebrate the maestro's musical genius while puzzling and sorrowing over the maladies that led to his early decline and death. And now, 25 years after his death, the up and down rollercoaster has brought his legacy back to the forefront of the musical world, and he is once again one of the few musicians known everywhere on the planet by one name: Jaco.
