December is here. 2024 has flown by and is almost over.
Much like the previous 11 months, this month is a busy month in music birthdays. Let’s get to it y’all.
- The legendary Lou Rawls was born on this day 85 years ago
- The Doors‘ John Densmore celebrated his 80th – yes, 80th, y’all! – birthday today
Jaco Pastorius, one of the greatest bassists ever was born on this day 73 years ago. In his tragically short life, Pastorius collaborated with an acclaimed and eclectic list of artists including Michael Brecker, Randy Brecker, Herbie Hancock, Sam & Dave, David Sanborn, Wayne Shorter and Joni Mitchell.
Happy birthday, Jaco! Happy birthday, wherever you are.
