John Francis Anthony “Jaco” Pastorius III was born in Norristown, Pennsylvania on this date in 1951. The bassist went on to revolutionize the instrument both as part of his solo career and as a member of innovative jazz-fusion act Weather Report. In September 1978, Weather Report brought a European Tour to Germany and the band’s Offenbach gig was professionally filmed.
