​

Жако Пасториус (настоящее имя: Джон Фрэнсис Пасториус III ) (1 декабря 1951—21 сентября 1987) — джазовый бас-гитарист. Многие осмеливаются считать его величайшим бас-гитаристом, не забывая также и о его композициях и аранжировках. Обладал исключительными навыками импровизации и уникальным звукоизвлечением.
Жако Пасториус родился в Пенсильвании, но вскоре его семья переехала в Форт-Лодердейл (Флорида), где к нему позже и пришла первая слава. Музыкальная карьера Пасториуса началась в 12 лет с игры на ударных, чему его обучил отец. В 13 лет из-за перелома руки и неправильного сростания костей Пасториус оставляет ударные и начинает изучать гитару, саксофон и фортепиано. В 17 лет Пасториуса еще раз прооперировали, и он решил оставить свой выбор на бас-гитаре. В 1974 он начал играть со своим другом Патом Мэтэни. В 1976 Пасториус был приглашён в группу Weather Report, где он играл с Джо Завинулом и Уэйном Шортером до 1981. Первый альбом Жако Пасториуса вышел в 1976 году. В период с 1980 по 1984 годы Пасториус совершил ряд турне со своим биг-бэндом Word of Mouth. Жако Пасториус записал также несколько альбомов с певицей Джони Митчелл.
В середине 1980-х годов у Пасториуса начались проблемы с психикой, налицо были симптомы маниакальной депресии. Его здоровье ухудшалось из-за употребления наркотиков и алкоголя. В итоге Жако Пасториус потерял уважение публики и стал изгоем музыкального бизнеса. В 1987 году в Форт-Лодердейле в клубе Midnight Club одна из ссор с тамошним вышибалой закончилась дракой. Врачи констатировали необратимое поражение головного мозга. Пасториус скончался, не выходя из комы, 21 сентября 1987 года.
В честь великого басиста Майлз Дэвис на альбоме Amandla вместе с Маркусом Миллером записал композицию "Mr. Pastorius".

In 1976, the first 10 minutes of this eponymous disc took the listener on a jazz world cruise directed by the instrumentalist-composer Jaco Pastorius, who thus gave notice that there was a new sheriff in town and that narrow definitions of jazz would simply not do. More so even than his groundbreaking work as a member of Weather Report, Jaco's music on this, his debut album as a leader (and in a trio setting with his soulmate Pat Metheny on the guitarist's maiden voyage, Bright Size Life), defines his greatness, his outreach, and his ambition. Boppish changes à la Miles Davis come through with Jaco's incredible touch, tone phrasing, and rhythmic locomotion--as does the musical leap of faith from bebop to funky-butt R&B delivered with lyrical majesty on Jaco's aptly titled "Continuum."

This reissue greatly enhances the fidelity of Jaco Pastorius, particularly in the bassist's famous, elusive tone, from lightly chorused, vocal-tenorlike glissandos on "Continuum" and the bell-like harmonics of "Portrait of Tracy" to his percussive, hand-drumlike rhythmic cycles underneath Peter Gordon's august French horn on "Oknokole Y Trompa." Even more stunning are the manner in which Jaco deploys a steel drum choir underneath Wayne Shorter on "Opus Pocus" and the ferocious Latin-inflected groove Jaco, Lenny White, and Don Alias conjure under Herbie Hancock on two takes--one unissued until now--of "(Used to Be a) Cha-Cha." Pat Metheny contributes an extraordinary set of liner notes to this set, putting Jaco's contributions to jazz and the bass in sharp perspective. Still, a spirit of innovation and discovery suffuses every note on Jaco Pastorius, and it is startling how modern and engaging this music remains. - Chip Stern

Jaco Pastorius' recording sessions with drummer Brian Melvin resulted in five releases: four studio (including Jazz Street) and one live. This body of work is unique in that it not only takes the electric bassist out of his New York element but also represents a focused, reinvigorated Pastorius.

The instrumental Jazz Street, one of Pastorius' last studio dates, places him in a west coast pop-jazz climate and he comes through with flying colors. His playing is clear and vibrant, best exemplified on Joe Henderson's "Out of the Night" which features extended, fluid soloing by Pastorius. He's also quite prominent on "No Slack" and the title track, two upbeat cuts on which Pastorius slickly executes some very familiar licks and riffs. Honorable mentions go to Jon Davis' bluesy piano piece "Wedding Waltz" and Melvin's atmospheric "Drums of Yadzarah," an offbeat drums/percussion/synth creation.

Though Jazz Street was most likely the last Pastorius/Melvin collaboration, it most closely resembles their first, the superior Night Food, recorded almost two years earlier -- not to be confused with Melvin's later, nearly identically titled release, Nightfood, featuring Bob Weir. - David Ross Smith
