I have my personal favorites - but what are your favorite songs played or written by Jaco?
For me most of them come off his self-titled album...
Portrait of Tracy
Continuum
Donna Lee
Onkole y Trompa
Liberty City
Blackbird
Invitation
Amerika
...too many

...too many | As much as I've tried, I just cannot get enough Liberty City. I listen and listen and listen and still I want more. I wish it were a 24hr long tune!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Long Island, NY | | | Mercy,Mercy,Mercy from the "Curtain Call" album. It was recorded like a month or 2 before he died (might be his last recording, not sure). It's a phenominal album, but this tune really sticks out. Also:
(used to be a)ChaCha
Liberty City
3 Views of a Secret
The Chicken (from the Birthday Concert)
Teen Town from Live inItaly (with Birelli Lagrene). This one just destroys the Heavy Weather version.
A Remark You Made
Dry Cleaner From Des Moines (Joni Mitchell)
Word of Mouth
John & Mary
Opus Pocus
Kuru/Speak Like a Child<----Gotta love that string section!
Good Question--Herbie Hancock

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Norway, Oslo | | | Surprised few of you mentions three views of a secret. I think it is, technically speaking, his best composition. That doesn't mean a tad, though - compared to the fact that it is perhaps the songs that brings out most emotions in me. Its beautiful simplicity is just stunning.
I could go on, though. POT is obvious. Countinuum too. His solo on that one! Not to speak of Havona. Fantastic tune with an even more fantastic solo.
Jaco is dead, but his music lives on. And it's not just a clichee. It's fact. |
