The book also contains new, never-before-seen photos acquired from the Pastorius estate.

: Numerous great thinkers have believed in the transmigration of the soul. General Patton, Gandhi, Henry Ford, the Dalai Lama, all discussed memories of, or beliefs in, having past lives. The great philosophers Pythagoras, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and even Saint Augustine believed in the rebirth of the soul. Awakening of a Warrior is the result of Jaco’s investigation—his treasure hunt—into the lifetimes he experienced before the present. Included are his lives as King Abimelech of Gerar, who allied with Abraham in the creation of a new religion called Judaism; Cyrus the Great, who unified all of Persia and implemented Zoroastrianism as the state religion; and Marcus Furius Camillus, who came to be considered the second founder of Rome.

The life of Jaco Pastorius, the master of the bass guitar, was brilliant and turbulent. But it is possible to see, using the title of one of his most famous compositions, a continuum to his life that is mirrored by the continuum of these poems, which celebrate the maestro's musical genius while puzzling and sorrowing over the maladies that led to his early decline and death. And now, 25 years after his death, the up and down rollercoaster has brought his legacy back to the forefront of the musical world, and he is once again one of the few musicians known everywhere on the planet by one name: Jaco.
