Jaco Pastorius, recognized by many as the man who revolutionized how the bass guitar is played, was a drummer before he ever picked up a bass. In high school, fate intervened, and Pastorius became the bassist in the soul cover band, Las Olas Brass. The rest was history. Throughout his illustrious career, Pastorius built a reputation as a highly regarded American jazz bassist, composer, and producer, widely considered to be one of the greatest and most influential bassists of all time
