Bassist Mike Cornelison spent years of intense study on the work of Jaco Pastorius while studying at Musicians Institute. After graduating MI with honors, Cornelison began compiling his studies and ultimately put together a book including 26 of the late bassist’s lines from various albums and acts over his career.

The Book of Jaco – the Ultimate Compendium of the Genius of Jaco offers a note-for-note transcription of all 26 songs in standard notation. The 81 page book also includes performance notes and a discography of Jaco’s other works.

The music was selected from Jaco’s 1976 solo debut, Jaco Pastorius, Pat Metheny’s Bright Size Life, Joni Mitchell’s Hejira and Mingus, Weather Report’s Black Market, Heavy Weather, Mr. Gone, Night Passage, Weather Report, Jaco’s Word of Mouth, Invitation / Twins and his album with Bireli Lagrene, Stuttgart Aria.
