Jürgen Attig: Journey To Jaco
Bassist Jürgen Attig released Aventureiro in 2012, in tribute to Jaco Pastorius.
As you’ll quickly find out when you watch this video, Jürgen’s Jaco-like tone and approach is nothing short of remarkable.

Definitely nailing the Jaco tone!
Man he was getting it!
Totally impressive all the way through! Well done!
! I remember Jaco at the Lone Star with Jorma. Jaco at the Savoy with Mike Stern et al. and JACK Pastorius Jaco w/ Joni and Metheny at Tanglewood, Jaco w/Larry Willis at the Blue Note, Jaco standing in the middle of 48th st… always a gentleman, always kind…
We saw Stanley Clark standing in a doorway once,about 81′
Wow. never heard anybody REALLY actually sound like Jaco like he does. NAILED the tone. great playing, too! ;)
Excellent! I was a Jaco disciple, although I never really tried to copy him (there’s only one), but this is great. Even those big hands play in the same style. Nicely done!!
Very good, he comes close to sounding like Jaco. There’s only one “Jaco”. Jaco has said in a number of interviews regarding his sound, he said it’s in my fingers. Meaning it was his approach to his Bass, how he applied the pressure on the string and moved the notes. Everyone has there own signature sound so to speak, no matter how close we sound or try to sound like someone we admire. It’s all in the feel & technique. Our sound that we get is kind of like our voice when we speak, everyone is unique, kind of like a sound fingerprint.
The sound, the look, the beat-up Jazz bass…and yet – Why? The man obviously has talent and drive – why not try to develop your own sound, vocabulary, aesthetic, etc. I don’t get this Jaco worship thing, especially 30 years later. Sorry to be Capt. Bringdown :-)
Couldn’t agree more. It’s a waste of the guy’s talent, to be honest
Spot on tone, great arrangement. I almost wish he had the dexterity to match. Still fantastic!
I had Jürgen as an instructor for one of my workshop. I tell you, this guy is a real badass on the fretless bass…
Really not impressed. Anyone can easily sound like Jaco. Even with a fretted bass. https://youtu.be/HYFUXnXcBXQ
great! refreshing to hear somebody doing a tribute like this to Jaco, very cool!
