Jaco Pastorius, one of the greatest bass players of all time, forged a landmark bass style that still permeates music today. His melodic sense, delicate touch, and groundbreaking bass grooves have influenced generations of musicians, while his music has consistently topped readers' and critics' polls worldwide.

This book and CD set features transcriptions of the examples and solos from Jaco's Modern Electric Bass DVD, with an interview by legendary bassist Jerry Jemmott. The CD concludes with a trio performance with John Scofield and Kenwood Dennard.
