jaco?

Jaco is pronounced like Taco.

 

Only the J is like in "Justice".

Not like the T in "Taco".

(I had to)

 

I was always wondering if it was like Jaco (which I say) or "Hoccko" or "Yaco."

 

Thank God I'm not the only one wondering. I heard "Jaco" pronounced jock-o, jack-o, and jake-o and could never figure it out. I always said it like it rhymed with taco but I wasn't sure. I felt stupid every time I said it because i thought I might mispronounce it.

 

yep, he was nicknamed after Jocko Conlin. Changed the spelling to Jaco after a french keyboardist spelled it like that in a letter

 

PAS (sounds like "pass") TORIOUS (sounds the tail end of "notorious")

 

You've got it right.

 

I always thought it was pronounced like Paco.

 

somebody read the book
