All I can say is... awesome. Love Jaco, love what he's doing here. The playing he's doing while Joni is singing is great on it's own... but man.. what he does after just amazes me. Anyone have music/tabs (I read both, TYVM) for anything here? Anyone have any clue what he's doing with those harmonics right after the singing ends cause... it's sweet! And then he does that little jam (I realize, he's using a loop machine) and that's just really cool. I love how he hits the bass to get that percussive effect in the loop as well. Just awesome.

If you dig this era of Joni, Shadows and Light is the live CD/DVD that documents this famous tour.
Studio albums that feature Jaco:
Hejira
Don Juan's Reckless Daughter (stunning CD)
Mingus (great... a bit out there)
If you are a Jaco fan.. buy them all... quickly! |

Anyone have music for any of it? (Doesn't surprise me if there isn't any, he did a lot of improvising live)

Just awesome. | He had an MXR delay in the rack above his amps. I believe it went thru only one of his amps (2 Acoustic 360s). The weird sounds in the beginning of his solo are him adjusting the delay time as sound is passing thru it. Then there's the looper which he could layer sounds on but not much more than a couple seconds. The distortion comes from the amp, gain all the way up. As for the harmonics, they are open combined with fretted notes. Welcome to the world of Jaco! |

And it seems, and it's a bit of a drag at times, that there's a price to pay in this life for that kind of highly-focused talent. But you have to use it anyway! God bless 'im, he did.
That staccatto-16th feel- that very funkiness- has stayed with me ever since I heard it. I say that bass is a rhythm instrument first. Just my take, but I've got testimony...

You can hear this on a lot of the recordings he made with Joni.

Welcome to the world of Jaco! | whatever it was he was doing, it's certainly amazing... nowadays, we have loops station pedals... but they're pretty darn expensive.
