I got to meet him right around this time in New York City and let me tell you Jaco had the strongest hand shake I've ever felt from anyone. It was like a vice and I think it's got a lot to do with his sound. Sounds so effortless but there's a lot of strength in his hands. Scary strong!

It is some kind of indian war paint or something. I read that sometimes he would put shoe polish on his face. This video is from around 1982 or so. This is the point he began loosing touch with reality. He was a severe manic depressive/bi-polar and also a severe alcoholic and cocaine addict. He was put in a psychiatric hospital at least once. His playing is still incredible here. About a year after this, record companies almost wouldn't touch him. His behavior became so erratic. In the 70's during his first solo album and most of the time he was in weather report, he wouldn't drink, use drugs or anything. His is really a sad, sad story. I have his biography somewhere, and I re read it about once every year or two. Tragic story.

Love how comments about Jaco veer so carelessly and tactlessly towards his mental illness. Yes, the man had some issues that were sadly untreated and caused the decline of a musical icon. That’s hardly the important thing to enshrine and it’s really sick that everyone has to gawk about the problems he faced. I get that it’s all part of the Jaco mythos, but it’s time for people to get a damn grip and talk about how bloody awesome he is, and leave it at that. When there’s a good reason to talk about his mental health (which it is very important to talk openly about), then let’s do that, but not just talk about it for no reason, because it neither helps advance mental health issues, nor does it show respect to Jaco’s legacy. It just perpetuates the fascination with people’s pain instead of their triumphs.

The subtleties of jazz on a trash can lid. All day!

The folks who agrue that Jaco is not the Goat of the modern electric bass absolutely fail to understand the complexity with which he played the instrument at a time when the electric bass was still relatively young having been ushered in my Leo Fender via the P-Bass in the late 1950's. His Bass of Doom is a 1966 Jazz Bass that he converted to fretless on his kitchen table using a butter knife, wood putty, and epoxy, and THEN you add his speed, and most importantly on a fretless, his perfect accuracy and intonation. NO ONE of that time or since has done this on the Bass. His own son acknowledges the uniqueness of who his father was a player and innovator, and purposely does not even attempt to mimic him. Instead, he focuses on playing primarily the 6-String Bass creating his own style, because as he stated in an interview, "I have my father to thank for my talent, but I am not him and cannot imitate him; so I do not try despite many people hoping I would". That says it all when his son (who is an outstanding bassist in his own right) acknowledges that his father is the man.

I'm an amateur musician, I love music, I play rock and roll and the blues with friends and this came across KZread and my gosh I have dabbled in a little jazz and whatnot but this was absolutely amazing performance, I could go on forever it was just so excellent

Let only music rule the world fans & let it sound just this good, let them gifted performers entertain you some more, who is willing to REPLAY this EPIC performance at all? Here they are the best lectures of freedom of expression for young generations, have fun Kids

Absolutely heartbreaking. Superb playing from a guy who - if he stood at the side of Ozzy Osborne in this state - would make Ozzy seem lucid and sharp. What would he have given the world had he not been destroyed by his demons? RIP Jaco. Hope you found peace.

Jaco was more than a bass player. It’s hard to describe it, but it’s as if the gods of music and great chops played through him. Insane technique and tone. He also knew how good he was. I’d love to have heard him with Miles Davis.

I saw this clip with my daughter at 2023. incredible video!!!

I dont think ill ever find another piece that will ever have the same effect on me as this one has.
