Most excellent!

Excellent stuff! It was great to hear from the late great and overlooked bassist Dave Carpenter. I just wished they had subtitles for what Paco Sery was saying.

I'm saving this for tonight, when the house is asleep. Can't wait!

@jerry, what minute is that?

If you mean the comments, they are interspersed throughout. When the doc is over let it play, some great playing from Marcus and Carpenter.

Not sure if its my computer setup, but Dave Carpenter's rendition of Donna Lee at the end sounds terrible like he's playing thru a transistor radio or something.

I don’t think he’s plugged in.

I don’t think he’s plugged in.

I see now that he has a lavalier microphone which is picking up his breathing and finger noise. Too bad there wasn't a decent setup for him.

I thought he sounded great for someone unplugged.

I really enjoyed The Lost Tapes because it was so positive and focused on his incredible musical gifts. Jaco was a genius and that has only become more clear over time.

Same here. It's a nice balance to the book I read recently, which had a stronger focus on his problems.

Jaco was the TRUTH. (And still is…)

 

[turcmic]

Great stories from Erskine, Zawinul and Marcus (and others). A new light on who Jaco was.

Killer. Gonna watch

this just hit my youtube radar (along with a flurry of awesome Rush videos).

This doc is really excellent!

...just started the stream. I'm digging the Maynard Ferguson band footage.

Jerry, who's on bass starting around the 9:50 mark?

"Hey, Marcus...I'm up in Room 219. Come on up & get your lesson".
Is anyone cooler than Marcus Miller???

Hearing Dave Carpenter & Joe Z. is very cool.

Wondering what Wayne Shorter hadda be thinking...dressed all neat with 2 young Tarzans on bass & drums.
