When the jazz band teacher plays a recording of this before rehearsing it, and you're sitting on the drumset, and u hear the fills at the start...and then notice the entire jazz band has turned around and is now staring at you.

For all fellow junior high/high school bassists that are playing this song: This score is pretty terrible if you want to sound like Jaco - it's mostly just the main riff with a few measures of sauce added scarcely throughout. I found that by watching covers of some of his live concerts with tabs and watching some videos about his playing style, you can improvise/recreate much more of Jaco's signature style... more fun to play and more fun for the audience!

I had a bass solo where the brass solo was! First and probably ONLY standing ovation I'll EVER get ( this was when the school held their reward ceremony circa 2020 )

so most of us are here are on drumset too?

I was handed trumpet 2 because I was the best technical trumpet. The trumpet who played first was great, but range and technical playing weren’t her strong suit. This is the one time I didn’t play lead in jazz band, literally because I could play it the best.

Listening on 1.5x speed is a whole new experience

Instead of the drum solos at 0:41 the teacher had a soprano sax do a solo and Ngl it was like gold

Literally me when I’m in jazz band

Playing this on the bass kinda hard but awesome

0.75x is amazing

Is there any bass player here that can hit every note starting on the first solo of the saxophone? Bro that bass riff was pretty tough back when I was playing because it’s so fast, and gets real funky. Basically I would just play whatever as long as it went with the song’s scale.
