At least, part of his spirit lives in this man:
Kai Eckhardt of Garaj Mahal.
Plug in the band to Pandora.com and listen in wonder. |

Hahahaha. Great bass player though, seriously. This is some great music, but Jaco isn't exactly the kind of player that comes to mind when I hear it.

Still, I must agree with dharma, having heard Kai in other situations.His fretless/ballad tone is spot on. For more Jaco-like playing, check out his own stuff or even his work with John Mclaughlin (only watch out for old school slapping and human beat boxing here too!). |

edit--Oh my god. Can you imagine what would happen if SRV and Jaco had jammed together?

If you think Kai, sounds like Jaco?
Check out Richard Bona. |

Check out Richard Bona. | Saw a video of him performing with a big band at a Jaco tribute. He had all the Jaco signature licks down, only on a 6 string. Same tone too.
