    I think there's a story that once Jaco was asked, "what's the future of jazz?" and responded with something like, "Well, next week, I'll be in Miami."

    It was a fretted jazz bass that Jaco removed the frets from. It still has its original inlays and anyone playing it can see scars from the frets. There’s a reason why he stuck with the “bass of doom” instead of going to a true fretless. It’s easier to play harmonics if you can see where the frets were.

    The drummer on the "Live In Italy" album (recorded on tour in 1986) is fantastic - and he's all but unknown outside of the recordings of that tour! Jaco was a legend and the young Bireli Lagréne (on guitar) was soon to become a major star in his own right, but what about the drummer Thomas Böröcz? Not much known or recorded at all, but his drumming on that album is absolutely essential to the sound of the trio, he has a union of heavy punch and dance-like swing reminiscent of John Bonham (or perhaps Roger Taylor) that gives the other two the powerful floor they need for their improvisations. I have loved that album for twenty years... 🎶🎹

It is highly complex, as such it may sound like someone messing around to uninitiated ears like yours, but in fact what he played is connected through musical ideas and he had a deep knowledge of music theory, as all great Jazz musicians do. So I guess you can say it is "messing around", but it's much more complex than that, and it took a great deal of skill to play what he did so that's pretty dumb way of thinking about it.

    I honestly think that Jaco suffered from what could be called "Instrument displacement"- he plays one instrument in the way he wishes he could play another. D'Angelo describes his own piano playing as playing like a guitarist because that's how he hears things; as guitar parts. So he finally learned how to play it after years of playing his unique piano style. I think Jaco is playing a cello on his bass based off of his riffs but he's playing a style all his own. The man was a true inovator and it's why he polished harmonics the way he did and set a standard that every bass player succeeding him followed.

    I'm laughing at all the negative comments written by people here. Some don't understand improvisation. Some think that a solo is only great if the musician is playing as fast as possible. Some are just trolls. The haters have no clue about the talent required to play a bass as well as Jaco did, let alone a fretless bass - the accuracy required for proper intonation etc.

    Bassmasta8989 In the "statement of theme," the first two measures hint at the Allegro of Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 15, and a few phrases later, 3 descending notes are identical with the 5-and-6 of the 3rd measure of the intro (counted out with the assumption it's in 6/8; it may well be written in 3/4). In Jaco's hands, these are the *gentlest* of teases; not even close to being *thefts*. And, of course, maybe this is all in my head!

    If you are here because you heard about how amazing the composition Portrait of Tracy is, then please watch another video, preferably the album version. This is an unrelated live solo that only quotes a small part of Portrait of Tracy, it doesn't represent the real thing. I can't think of any live performances Jaco did that compare to the original.

    Jaco put on a clinic at the Musician's Institute around the mid 80's. Someone asked him about harmonics and Jaco stated that he prefers to use them sparingly and not overdo it. Another asked him about Portriat of Tracy and Jaco tried to play it from a long forgotten memory. He struggled, but figured it out for the most part, and then said that he had literally not played it since the laid down the track on that album. He probably didn't remember playing it in the concert's that promoted that album.

    Clearly not overrated by the Jazz Hall of Fame. One of only six bass players and the *only* electric bass player. Like this particular performance or not, Jaco was a genius and probably inspired hundreds if not thousands around the world to play. Have a listen to the recorded version of A Portrait. This is live, and freeform. Listen to the Chicken, or Birdland, or Teen Town. Just let his talent wash over you :)

    Man I'll Probably regret this I think that’s just his tone. He wanted that low fuzzy sound, it’s why he yanked the frets off that bass. It was to mimic an upright bass sound. Also the acoustic amps he used had that deep harmonic sound that amplified the “fartiness” of his sound. It’s all a matter of opinion.

I said, I know who you are, Jaco! He smiled a BIG smile. He said Do people remember me? I said YES they do and they love you a lot. He said he was doing fine. Then he said, Excuse me, but I got some wiring to do. He waved and walked on. I swear that was one of those VIVID dreams. His hair was cut short. He looked good.
