Few electric bassists on the scene today haven't been heavily touched by the influence of the late Jaco Pastorius. Whether directly in style, as in the case of Michael Manring, or less overtly, as in the case of Marcus Miller, Jaco's sound and open approach to the instrument continue to be felt nearly twenty years after ...
