Can we give it up for Don Cheadle Awesome last night on Saturday Night Live - SNL First time we met he was playing hell out of a trumpet. He shows up to rehearsal with a bass saying he doesn’t play bass but is learning jaco pastorius and proceeds to excecute perfectly. 🤦🏾‍♂️ that’s talent. Respect.

"All you've got to do is keep your ears open." Remembering Jaco Pastorius on his birthday today (Dec 1, 1951 - Sept 21, 1987) and every day.

Happy birthday JACO PASTORIUS!🎂

Jaco was (IS!) magic. With & without the bass. Saw him with Weather Report on the 8:30 tour. He would play these harmonics, & the lights would glint off the chrome plate his vol & tone controls were mounted on. The total effect was Larger Than Life. x.com/iamthechaos/st…

Finally got to see JACO - Jaco Pastorius documentary from Robert Trujillo, that’s something else. Sometimes i fell quite down with the whole music bizz and docs like this pulls me back in and reassure my endless love for music

I like the concept of turning opponents into allies. This concept makes me wake up in the morning and resolve to be the hero in my own cheerful drama of victory.

Peace on Earth.
