\"\"<\/a>JACO. THE EXTRAORDINARY AND TRAGIC LIFE OF JACO PASTORIUS, \u201dTHE WORLD\u2019S GREATEST BASS PLAYER\u201d<\/strong>
\nAutor: Bill Milkowsky<\/em>
\nEditorial: Backbeat Books (1995)
\nISBN: 0-87930-426-X
\nIdioma: ingl\u00e9s<\/p>\n

Bill Milkowsky<\/strong>, habitual de Downbeat<\/em>, Guitar Player<\/em> y Bass Player Magazine<\/em>, narra en esta obra la carrera personal y profesional del que fue sin duda El M\u00e1s Grande Bajista del Mundo (y, tal cu\u00e1l est\u00e1n las cosas, lo seguir\u00e1 siendo por bastante tiempo), desde sus comienzos en bandas de funk y r&b hasta sus primeras experiencias jazz\u00edsticas con Paul Bley<\/strong> y Pat Metheny<\/strong>, su salto a la fama como bajista de Weather Report<\/strong>, su adicci\u00f3n al alcohol y las drogas, sus turbias historias sentimentales, la grabaci\u00f3n de su Word of Mouth<\/em> con gira de big band incluida y su tremendo declive a mediados de los 80, que finaliz\u00f3 con su tr\u00e1gica muerte a manos del portero de un after hours, en Septiembre de 1987.<\/p>\n

El libro re\u00fane testimonios en primera persona de muchos de los m\u00fasicos que compartieron vida y profesi\u00f3n con Pastorius<\/strong> (Michael Brecker<\/strong>, John Scofield<\/strong>, Mike Stern<\/strong>, Pat Metheny<\/strong>, Joni Mitchell<\/strong>, Joe Zawinul<\/strong>, Peter Erskine<\/strong>, Brian Melvin<\/strong>…), dado lo cu\u00e1l, y aparte del car\u00e1cter biogr\u00e1fico impl\u00edcito en la obra, tambi\u00e9n es de resaltar su acercamiento al mundo de la escena jazz\u00edstica de los a\u00f1os 70 y 80, centr\u00e1ndose especialmente en el ambiente de clubes nocturnos neoyorquinos, del que Jaco era asiduo.<\/p>\n

Como pero importante se puede hablar del exceso de dramatismo y el f\u00e1cil recurso al t\u00f3pico en varios fragmentos del texto, especialmente en los momentos en que Milkowsky<\/strong> pasa a ser un personaje activo (los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os de un Jaco<\/strong> err\u00e1tico y fuera de sitio). Ciertos pasajes, como los referentes al entierro del bajista, parecen buscar la sensibler\u00eda y la l\u00e1grima f\u00e1cil del lector antes que la descripci\u00f3n objetiva de los hechos, habiendo recibido, incluso, fort\u00edsimas cr\u00edticas por parte de allegados al maestro de las cuatro cuerdas.<\/p>\n
