he has a wide diverse body of work if you look at his solo work and cds he's guested on.
some of his indian influenced work and work on Down By Law from the bill laswell project Deadline is awesome for the time. Baliphone Dub is a great tune from that album. |

...This is no wanking. Jonas is definitely one of my favorite bassists. Every collaboration he's done from John McLaughlin to Shawn Lane to Buckethead has been fantastic. |

| | | | Blew me away when I saw him with Mahavishnu in the early 80's. He's hit me hot and cold ever since, but I'll be the first to admit that I at least give it all a listen. Definitely a different soul on the instrument. |

The most non-wanky, supportive thing he's done. Public Image Ltd. w/ John Lydon (Johnny Rotten). This track features Tony Williams, Bernie Worrell, and Steve Vai. Ginger Baker is also on the album.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2009 Location: Tokyo, Japan | | He did a live album with Syrian musicians (IIRC, 2 percussionists and a flute player) called "Aram of 2 Rivers". http://www.amazon.com/Aram-2-Rivers-...222778&sr=8-19
He plays acoustic bass guitar (I guess he does so exclusively for a while now). I'm not an expert on Middle Eastern music by any means, but his note choices and articulation, as well as the tone of his instrument, are very convincing for me. (I'm not really a big fan of his slapping though.) |
