Essential to your "Jaco" library,
By
This review is from: A Portrait of Jaco: The Solos Collection (Paperback)
This is one of the finest selections I have for Jaco's written music. The markings and notations are well defined, but beyond the exquisite job done with the transcriptions the analysis that accompanies each piece is some of the real meat and potatoes that interested me. Malone points out what Jaco did stylistically and with note selection that gave him that elusive characteristic "signature sound" that only the truly great musicians had. The title was very clear. This book deals with the "solos" of Jaco and NOT his legendary "grooves". Dr. Malone rightly places Jaco among the musical geniuses of all time and affords the credit due to this master of music and the electric bass. This book will satisfy and should be on the shelf of every true Jaco afficianado.

Dr. Malone Did His Homework,
This review is from: A Portrait of Jaco: The Solos Collection (Paperback)
This is a carefully and beautifully written book. I was among those who were stunned in 1976 when Jaco's debut CD was released, and I absorbed as much of his playing as I could at that time. Today, this book continues to help me, and it can only add to your insight, appreciation, and ability to play in the tradition of the late, great Jaco Pastorius.

This review is from: A Portrait of Jaco: The Solos Collection (Paperback)
Accurate transcriptions of the best and most forward-looking solos in Jaco's canon. The accompanying explanations and contextual material make great sense and are most welcome. If you're a bass player, just get it. You won't regret it.
