doing research for a paper

I am doing a paper for my history of jazz course and I decided to do it on Jaco and his influence on the bass but also in the jazz form and really on music in general I know that I could just do a search, which I already did which led me to his bio, but what I would like to have is a focused post with as many links as possible so I can get the most accurate perspective and and opinions from as many diffrent sources as possible. the paper has to be at least 8 pages so just his bio won't suffice. thanks for the help guys I'll let you know how it turns out.
