In recent years, Greg has developed a deeper appreciation for Word of Mouth, Jaco Pastorius’s second solo album. While the record receives mixed reviews—some hearing signs of the personal struggles with addiction and mental health that would later claim Jaco’s life at just 35—Greg has come to believe there's something really special about it. You should give it a few listens and let us know what you think.

Songs:

Jaco Pastorius - “Crisis”

Jaco Pastorius - “Three Views of a Secret”

Jaco Pastorius - “Liberty City”
