I love his tone, which I find out strangely enough a lot of people don't. I love that he has REAL bass tone instead of that Botique bass bull**** tone.

Good video and performance there. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: Metro St. Louis | | | That's a wonderful clip. Jaco is a player that tends to be major influence even if you don't think he has influenced you that much. Although I'm not good enough to change his strings, I see more and more how his playing has influenced the way I play bass.
One thing about that clip makes me sad: to see him so young and full of promise bums me out knowing that his life would end the way it did. I would love to see a a 56 year old Jaco putting out CDs and working as a sideman today. I don't know if he would have added anything new or not, but exprience surely would have helped improve what he already had.

I wonder what it must have been like in the 70's, to see Jaco before he had been surpassed by other players, it must have been incredible! (though I was always more of a Stanley Clarke guy myself...)

New guy here--saw this and had to reply. If you were a bass player, especially in Boston, in the mid-70's (I was), Jaco changed everything. I remember well taking my Rick 4000 in to Wurlitzer's, and telling head repair guy Ed Murray to de-fret it. He laughed, and said "You too, eh?"---turned around and yelled into the back room "Got another bass de-fret!". EVERYBODY wanted to be Jaco---walk into a music store, guys tryin' basses and rigs were all trying to play "Continuum" (me too). This was the time of Metheny's "Bright Size Life", and you could see that band (Metheny, Jaco, and Bob Moses) in small clubs! I stood in a crowd outside of Michael's (Gainsborough St.) when they were playin'--could barely get near the place...heady stuff! Shame there isn't an older Jaco around, but there's some of him in just about every player of the last 30 years. You could see Steve Swallow at that time too, in many different situations, and he, thankfully, is still with us---you should check him out! Enough ramblin' for now.....

Tim | Outstanding post.
Anyone who actually caught Jaco playing in a club is - blessed bigtime.
