NEW! Direct link to the official Jaco Pastorius site, endorsed by the Pastorius family. A great site in development; interviews, cd`s, shirts, photo`s, art work and more featuring the original "Mr. Bad", Jaco Pastorius! See you there and remember to push the envelope as much as possible and always strap on in!

These photos are the cover art for my independent release CD`s available @ www.cdbaby.com/brianderek and www. ampcast.com/brianderek. The sketch on the napkin (cover for the disc "Jah Zambango")was brilliantly improvised by Greg Pastorius.
