Felix Pastorius..

My friend/acquaintance who lives in the same area as I do, posts a photo with his dad and Felix Pastorius tonight on Facebook.

I am pissed. I didn't even know Jaco had a son. LOL

Is Felix Jacos kid, or nephew or what.

I tried to google this and couldnt get to the bottom of it. One thing I dont remember is Jaco having a kid.

Demon_Hunter · #5 09-14-2012, 02:01 AM

His kid. Has another named Julius.

Jaco had four kids:
An older son and daughter, and then twin sons.

He's Jaco's son they said, and also, they are normal height...lol, about 5'10 I think. They joked about how huge he was. Just look at the guy's hands on that 6 string!

I think Felix is about 6'6". Really tall!

Met them both at Victor's camp in 2001. Julius is a pretty good drummer as well. When it comes to Felix, he shares some of his dad's finger style but can slap the face off of a bass too. Both were great guys too. And, yes, Felix is tall. We played some festival type games at the camp and we did this thing where teams of 7 tied all their legs to each other and had to walk/run across a field. I was next to him and he had me by a few inches. And I'm 6'1". Hard to believe that was so long ago. That camp was a few weeks before 9-11 (the actual day of the attack). Time flies.

If you get a chance to see them play, do it. Felix has some of Jaco's mannerisms as well. It's almost like watching a young Jaco. There are differences of course, but similarities as well.

Got to hear Felix play last night with Jeff Coffin's group. He and Roy Wooten played amazingly well together, and the whole group was great. I honestly hadn't heard of him before last night, but I doubt I'll ever forget him now - he really sounds great. The band were great guys, too - after playing the hit at the university, they all came out to our late gig at a local bar for a nice hang, and stayed the entire time, too. I love it when great players are also nice people.

Where did you see this at? Coffin is a monster!! He was with UM for New Year's here in Atlanta. I've seen all the Wooten's together a few times and I swear that has probably gotta be one of the most musical families. And that's the beauty of these players, they just love to play. They'll play 4 hour shows then goto a local bar and sit in with the band there. I opened for Hypnotic Clambake probably 10 years ago at a club. They all came to our community house to party and crash afterwards and we all ended up jamming until 5am. It was a sick 12 person jam that in retrospect I wish I had recorded. I let Q jam on bass most of the time while I played djembe and other drums. When a bassist of his caliber is there to play, sometimes ya just gotta kick back and enjoy and learn.

The Mu'tet played a concert at the university of Louisville (where I teach). The guys were just as you say. I didn't ask Felix to sit in at the late gig because I don't think he plays double bass, but I sure would have if he'd had his bass with him.

Sure looks like jaco.

He is as talented as he is tall!

I love the stuff he has been doing with Coffin, he definitely has grown into his own voice on bass.
