I disagree, except with "all this compares to Jaco" well it should, as Jaco was the guy who changed the way the bass is played and perceived. Manring was a student of Jaco and Jaco, if alive would most likely like this.
As for Manring being better? well he's better than you or I.
Jaco dealt with 2 large egos in jazz, Shorter, Zawinul, Zawinul said, "three forceful personalities, totally different, nobody giving an inch, yet all together." Your word, "immodestly" is what drove Jaco to the heights of groundbreaking jazz w/electric bass. Bursting my bubble is not the issue, it's looking back in jazz history and realizing the importance of Jaco's contribution and to a much lesser extent Michael Manring. Jaco outdoing Manring is not the issue either.
He use to play with Jaco, Stanley Jordon, awesome etc, but this is a fretless bass. This is his older stuff, check out the newer tunes, like Teen Town, Helios etc.
This reminds me of Stanley Jordan. It is not flawless by any means but it is still mind blowing. For these lads, two hands sound like 4. I would be happy being able to play just half of this piece.
@TheAmazingUploader not at all jaco and michael are both incredible, your obviously just jealous because jaco was repeatedly on the cover of bass magazines and made millions, you must be the one who murdered him , you actually think his rendition of third stone from the sun is pretentious crap without any substance, take some time to actually listen to some of his work and maybe you will realize how big of a pessimistic "pretentious" piece of shit you are being by saying such a thing
@TheAmazingUploader You must think slap bass is the epotime of soul. Weather report had no lyrics in there songs so it wasnt a matter of shallow "friday" type subject matter. Manring is a cover artist how in the hell is that substance. Nobody with any sense would put jaco in the company of noodlers like Wooten, Miller and Manring. Jaco's inprov had imensely more feeling than the aforementioned technical players. ***Cringe!!!***
@666patrickbateman666 jaco , would fucking turn this song up and fucking jam along , are you actually serious, like you have no musical knowledge in what a good bass player is, listen to red right returning and you will say to yourself wow I am a fucking idiot

@jjaaccoo or, not to burst your bubble, his immodesty would take over and he'd try to outdo Manring, which he may well be able to, or maybe not.

Jaco wrote pretentious crap with out any substance at all. He is/was the worlds most overrated bass player.
