Has anyone heard the tribute to Jaco "The Word Is Out", released today......Richard Bona is an amazing talent, some killer bass on this CD. I'm sure, a fraction of what he's capable of....."we ain't seen nothing yet".

Check out his solo stuff; not really bass-chops heavy but beautiful stuff! He has an angelic voice.
He also played on Mike Stern's 'Voices' but again, not a lot of serious bass playing (except for the last track). |

I have this Jaco Big Band cd coming in the mail...hopefully, it's today.
The previous Big Band album was enjoyable...nice hearing some 'new' stuff + the 'old' stuff done in a different way.

| | | | There is a new Stern/Chambers/Bona DVD out (can be purchased at audiophileimports.com. They also are getting in a shipment of his new solo CD (Tiki) soon. I've heard the cuts posted on his website, and it's wonderful. His first three solo CD's are great also... not 'bass chops' CD's... just wonderful playing, writing and singing. Awesome player and talent, and a tone to die for... fretless, 'fat Fodera sound', Marcus-like J Bass sound... he does it all! |

Amazing player.
He has appeared several times in NYC.

+1 Ken, Bona's CD's are CD's, not bass chops. |

| | | | The Word Is Out arrived today...right "Dania" is kickin' my ass.
In the booklet, anyone notice that Oteil was called "a former member of The Allman Brothers Band & ARU"?

He sure does nice stuff on his solo albums. |

Nice little doc on him. I haven't been able to finish it yet though- too busy!

His Jaco tribute stuff is great, but I love his solo music! I just bought Scenes From My life and Reverance of Amazon a couple weeks ago; I highly reccomend them both. Bass playing is nice and groovy, not over the top at all, and his songwriting and vocals are oustanding.
