Many people are so not into fusion concepts that this could easily be passed as a real performance.
Not even taking into account that Jaco sometimes was randomly jumping from one thing to another like in the parody. |

Paco de Lucia - Entre dos aquas, much better then the first.
The language of music speaks to us all differently. Thanks all for the vid's , went good with the morning coffee.

I don't mean to start a flame war, but am I the only one that doesn't 'get' Jaco? I mean, I appreciate that he was a talented fellow, technically gifted and all that, but I bought a solo album of his believing all the hype, but was left stone cold. Bored me to tears.

Last Wednesday I played Portrait of Tracy at school and by the look of the people's faces they were pretty amazed to hear a bass doing a solo song. |
