Jaco two-fives

[colcifer]

Any one got NOTATION for good jaco two-fives. He's not famous for walking, but he did it better than any one...


i'm gonna get crucified for saying that, aren't I

If you want some ideas for walking, go look at straight-ahead jazz bassists. Ron Carter's a good example.

Not from me you won't..........

Check out the "Standards Zone" disc if you can get a copy.
Jaco Pastorius, Brian Melvin & John Davis.

Just bass, drums and piano.

Me either. Jaco could swing really hard, which sometimes surprised the straight-ahead jazz guys he played with, who generally shied away from playing with bass guitar players. He had the ghost notes down and the whole deal. I don't know of any published examples of his walking lines, though - transcribing some might be your best bet.
(Thanks for the tip on the "Standards Zone" disc!)

Though having stuck up for Jaco's swinging straight-ahead skills, you can't go wrong checking out an all time master like Ron Carter - or Ray Brown, Paul Chambers, Red Mitchell, Percy Heath, and a host of other guys.

Not Jaco, but a good bassline. IMHO.

+1, Standards Zone by the Brian Melvin Trio is one of my favourite albums.

Maybe check out Mike Richmond's bassline book, too.
(Just bought Standards Zone - thanks again!)
