in the^ link above jaco plays that lines a few seconds after 2:10. the transcription book along with that videos titles the bass line as "jerry's time" but can anyone tell me which song is it? i have serched google with a few keywords but couldnt find out which song it is?? i find that bassline really cool and i want to learn that whole song down

if anyone out here knows what song is it please do tell me

And I was just going to ask the same thing!) Though, I`m also interested why did they laugh at this song?
Btw, another question, the book says that Jaco starts on G# and all the bassline gets a nice load of flats and sharp, on video, though, I him playing a G.
I may have misread the book, cause my music notation reading skills are still pretty low.


P.S. And another btw, why does he call the other bass-players "cats"? ) The only time I`ve heard this again was in the GTA:SA game and there it was used to adress some "reel gangsta". Jaco didn`t mean this, right?

haha they laughed because jerry himself was the interviewer he asked jaco "hey gimme an example of some style or something which has stuck around with you from then to now"
in response jaco plays jerry's (the interviewer himself) own bassline in some bb king song!
[] so thats why they laugh!

he calls bass players "cats" because thats what maybe cool musicians(or bassists) are called........

the book says the key is D-flat and i dont know i dont see him playing in G#

[varunkapahi]

but i still really need to know what song was it??

[fraublugher]

he used it a lot , hence the title jerry's time

check out bb king's "alive and well"

[varunkapahi]

couldnt find it anywhere not many results on googling the key words too 'alive and well'

"Cat(s)" is an old jazz term... Means "dudes", "guys", "fellas", etc. I'm only 28 and I use it all the time.

Oh, BTW, the Album is called Live and Well.
