He was the world's greatest electric bass player. Bar none.

Several of my friends have made the pilgramage to the Miami bar where he was killed by the bouncer. I didn't realize for 20 years that some of the tracks on my records were Jaco's bass, and not a synth.

One of the prime examples of the tradition of great musicians who totally screwed up their lives.

When I grow up, I want to be dead too!
