Beaver Felton talking with David Pastorius (yes, you read the last name correctly), Jaco’s Nephew. Matt Buckner and John Willis, from SWR, dropped in with this surprise guest, a new Endorser of their fine amps and cabs. David jammed for an hour in the store and by the end was blazing, using fingerstyle, harmonics, slap, chords, tapping, plus a few other unique tricks . According to Beaver, David’s Slap Style would turn Vic’s head!

David plays in a Florida-based group, “Queen Mary”, featuring Mary Pastorius (Jaco’s daughter) on vocals!

“Their CD of original material is outstanding and quite different, combining various musical styles, beautifully haunting vocals, and predictably, great bass lines that are integral to the songs, up front in the mix.”, says Beaver. He further adds, “Their talent lives up to the excellence that you’d expect from this bloodline, represents the legendary Pastorius name well, and would make Jaco proud”!
