If anyone deserves a stamp in music it is Jaco. The original electric bass player that created the tone and set the standard for everyone to follow. A true pioneer, I love his playing!
One of the most influential voices in modern music! Changed my life for the better. I was fortunate enough to have seen 1st hand the talents of Jaco Pastorius, a legacy that has to be paid forward to our future rock stars!
Get him on a stamp please
What a loss.
Like a Red Giant star, Jaco burned through life in meteoric speed and brilliance. There will never be another Jaco.
This is a must. Jaco changed the face of music.
Jaco was a true American treasure.
