Slang? Bach's Cello suite number... whatever? Portrait of Tracy? Power? The Awakening? Donna Lee? Scophile (this is stupidly hard though).

Just dishing out some of the usual suspects.

I think that Teen Town by Jaco played very fast is awsome. It justs sounds so cool. The melodies of Jaco/weather report are so cool!

i would highly recommend portrait of tracy. i have played it for solo spots at shows before and it is very well received.
its also a great way to further familiarize yourself with harmonics.

How about this version of teentown? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDUwf...eature=related

If you want jazzier i think a solo piece by John Patitucci would do.
Something like these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gu1tI...eature=related
