Anniversary Edition

Full of new insights about Jaco's early years, along with new revelations about his tragic final days and never-before-seen photos, this very special anniversary edition takes a greatly expanded look at the man who revolutionized his instrument.

An online audio is included, which is excerpted from 'Portrait of Jaco', a two-CD 'audio biography' that recounts Jaco's development in words and music. It includes music from Jaco's pre-Weather Report years and spoken testimonials from Jaco's friends and colleagues and Jaco himself.
