La réponse est bien Jaco Pastorius him-self (décidement il sait tout faire):
"
Journaliste: On 'Teen Town', with its great 'talking' lead line on the bass from you, you're also playing drums!
Jaco: It's... TRICKY! I'm a drummer: that was my first instrument when I was a kid, and I switched to the bass because I broke my arm in an accident. I didn't have to go to the bass, but I had to stop drums because I had no power left in my left arm, and from about age 13 to 18, my left arm was pretty useless. I couldn't push, man; and like, to play the drums, you gotta push. I was playing in a band on drums--one that I'd started actually--and I got kicked out! But they asked me back if I was playing bass, so I bought a bass and joined them again! I was 15, I didn't know where the notes were or anything, I just started grooving, y'know? And I've never been out of work since, with the bass! But yeah, 'Teen Town' was actually a place I use to go to dance when I was 13, and it was a church on the Intra-Coastal waterway, in Pompano Beach, Florida. I used to just wish I could be up there playing drums, that's why I sorta had to play the drums on this tune--because the drums are talking with the bass, too--because now I'm a bass player, but I can still play the drums, y'know? It's a lot of fun: 'Teen Town' is like a little theatre thing, yeah? You're a kid and you go to Teen Town; you're 13 years old; you wanna hang out with some chicks; there are all sorts of little ego trips going on in there; all that sorta shit is going on in there. And at the end, it gets a little mysterious, because you start growing up... It's all in there!" (laughs) "
