Jaco Pastorius, The World's Greatest Bass Player (Part 1)

Even before he was famous, Jaco Pastorius would introduce himself like this, “Hi, My name is John Francis Pastorius III, and I'm the greatest electric bass player in the world”.

This is part 1 of my deep dive into Jaco's ideas, lessons, and process.
