@markmarktarmann in other words we overplay often on simpler forms like blues reggae latin ..SOMETIMES even SWING!! or funk! or or...hello!?? are we getting the message.? the audience relates&i hear bass players praise larry grenadier for his disciplined simplicity while solo-ing. we often, too often.can't rein in our tendency to play too many randomly placed (that's a relative assertion i'll admit) notes..at the expense of groove and audience connection .any objections to that observation?
@markmarktarmann; Couldnt have said it better myself. Sometimes and most of the time with the bass simple is the best way to go. So many people want to play every thing super fast. Just because its fast and hard to do doesn't make it music.
Considering Jaco has probably done this reggae groove spontaneously, Schofield plays absolutely killer chords (@0:30 and then at the harmonic conclusion @ 1:10 and then again at 1:35.) Let's face it they're all killer musicians. So sad he was wasted.
@jamcalglo .reggae steeped it's way into rock in the 70's hotel calif., the clash, the police, ska but jazzers never really got a hold on it. reggae is kind of "anti-chop display" music, more about the groove/group sound. this does sound like the police, 3rd hand reggae. great chops and ideas but no reggae groove. happens in jazz.,even a great band like coltrane's made a mess of "latin music""autumn serenade with Johnny Hartmann. reggae musicians would hit sco for what he does to the "bubble"
@dixxjamm The Police are boring to many people. Their diluted, suburban estate agent ,coffee table "reggae" is vile in my opinion. Sting's solo stuff is even worse!
Listen to someone like Boris Gardiner, particularly his work with The Congos, if you want to hear some proper riddims. A great bassist.
Jaco's seems to be putting his own slant on what he would consider a reggae bassline. I like it.
@3rduncle Those are some pretty harsh words about a band and a man who not only can play and compose jazz-influenced compositions like he changes his socks, but who also is respected by both the jazz and pop community, his songs are constantly covered by jazz musicians and he constantly plays with them in different formulas. Look at his collaborations with Branford Marsalis and Vinnie Colaiuta, you've obviously chose the wrong music icon to splash your snobbish subjective bile...
If you happen to be a bass player and you're interested in reggae, look up the works of Robbie Shakepeare or Aston Barrett. This is embarrasing
