Jack Pastorius, 83 was a professional singer and drummer based in Pennsylvania. Around 1959 Jack and family (wife, three kids) moved down to South Florida (Fort Lauderdale or Oakland Park) because he got a steady gig there or something, not sure. He later went back to the Philadelphia area where he's still living.
So far I was only able to find a 45 on "Seven Eleven Records" plus a tape with some songs I got from a friend (I took "Just One Of Those Things" from that tape). The P family has another relatively well known member: http://www.ushistory.org/germantown/people/pastorius.htm

Definitely. You get some soul stuff too (one track w/electric piano). The AMG link has sound samples for each track.
"Encuentros" and "India" are my favorites, with "India" being #1 (I'm talking about the tracks on "Chapter One: Latin America"). I must admit that I hardly ever listen to the entire album.
