| | | | Jaco's sheer technical facility/dexterity with the instrument, especially the fretless; Mick Karn's melodic and rhythmic imagination, Phil Lesh's musical fearlessness for lack of a better word.
Getting greedy, Jack Bruce's singing voice.

and put it with Aston Barrett's groove, Jaco's musicianship, Stu Hamm's tricks, Lemmy's Balls (metaphorically speaking) Robbie Shakespeare's ladebackness (not a word I know), Jamerson's melody and timing, Bootsys percussive rhythm, and Flea's ... Flea's something, but I'm not sure what... well not his Teeth!!!! |
