TRIBUTE TO JACO PASTORIUS with Pat Casey, Ricky Sebastian & Company

Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro, New Orleans

Though he passed away at the young age of 35 and therefore had a relatively short career over the course only 10-15 years, Jaco is still widely regarded today as one of the best bassists of all time, specifically of the electric bass. His style of playing incorporated elements of funk, lyrical solos, bass chords, and innovative harmonics. More than just a technical master of his instrument, his musicianship propelled the compositions that he played on to new heights and new directions, forever changing the landscape of music and influencing all who heard him. 

Jaco's approach to the bass and the music he wrote continues to be a wellspring of inspiration for a great many musicians and listeners alike. He's left an indelible mark on the continuum of musicianship, including with some of our very own New Orleans musicians; Louisiana native drummer Ricky Sebastian played drums with Jaco for several years, and New Orleans based bassist Pat Casey has been so influenced by Jaco's craft that he began hosting annual tribute concerts to the late bass master in 2016, nearly 30 years after his death.
