To all of Jaco's friends and fans, FLASH! PORTRAIT OF JACO IS THE WORLD'S GREATEST ANTHOLOGY!!! At this time we at JPI are extremely proud to announce that the long-awaited early years anthology Portrait of Jaco is now available! We also would like to announce that after having the pleasure of seeing and hearing it, the entire Pastorius family wholeheartedly agrees that it's the most beautiful and informative work that has ever been produced on our father. Over ten years in the making, this release represents the beginning of a whole new era, one dedicated to showing the healthy and creative years of his musical career. "Portrait of Jaco" will now become a powerful force in helping us raise our father's legacy up to where it rightfully belongs and will serve as the cornerstone in our efforts to bring his life and music more into the consciousness of mainstream music lovers everywhere. We have always felt that this would be the case, but never dreamt that "Portrait" would have turned out so incredible. Our congratulations and heartfelt thanks go out to our father's early years friend, Bob Bobbing for producing this masterpiece. It's everything we could have ever hoped it would be and more. With all that said, it's now up to us to help get the word out! Because POJ is NOT associated with any major record labels, the enormous job of promoting it is the only thing standing in the way of it becoming a huge success and hopefully a 2003 Grammy Award Winner! Our father deserves nothing less, and POJ has definitely got the goods. Please consider forwarding this to anyone you know that appreciates great music and fine art. Soon we will be getting together a whole new section on our site for Portrait of Jaco and we ask that you tell everyone you know about this important release. And be sure to check out the new "early years" site at JacoTheEarlyYears.com for more details and information about how to buy Portrait of Jaco - The Early Years. At this time, POJ will only be available by direct mail order at CDBaby.com. The good news is, CDBaby is 100% secure, reliable, and extremely fast. We highly recommend and trust their services. Thanks for you interest in our father's music, and for helping us keep his legacy alive. Sincerely, John F. Pastorius, IV President, Jaco Pastorius Inc. And the Pastorius Family
