Jaco is pronounced like Taco.

i've been wondering for a while now, how do you pronounce jaco pastorius?
You've got it right.
yep, he was nicknamed after Jocko Conlin. Changed the spelling to Jaco after a french keyboardist spelled it like that in a letter
jaco pastorius
That sounds right to me.
not sure if you're aware of this, but when you read it, i can't hear it![]()
yes, but his Roller Derby name was Taco Tastesglorious.
Oops! Sorry, Forgot to turn the volume up.
