Hi fellow TB'ers
For a while now i have been interested in jazz.
I know what i want to hear from it but i cant really find anything.
This is the kind of thing that im looking for: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=V9_V387RjWA
A kindof fast paced, guitar jazz thing.
(I would much rather someone told me the correct genre, although i think its called bebop)
Anyway if you could recommend any artists or recording it would be very grateful!
Thanks again

Yes ive heard Jaco's version. I think its one of those songs that every bassist should try to learn. Kindof a right of passage if you ask me

The founding guys of Bebop are Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, maybe Thelonius Monk, some others. It came out of swing music in the 30s, and usually used familiar chord changes from pop tunes but added rough tempos and hard melodies. "Donna Lee," for example, is based on "Back Home Again in Indiana."
A great bop guitarist is Jimmy Raney, or the Belgian Rene Thomas, or Tal Farlow in his early days.

Check out Pat Martino...I'm thinking "Impressions" from his Consciousness album(from the '70s).
Also-
Wes Montgomery & Grant Green.
