i don't know if your info is correct but little beaver's 1974 party down lp has bass credits of george perry and nelson (jocko) padron. i'm unaware of of jaco ever doing session work for tk records

sorry dudes, it wasn´t bragging at all...

Are we listening to the same here? Because some people are confusing some things here... It has nothing to do with his depression, his drugs- or alcohol abuse peepz...

this man really was the greatest bass player.....

[msmcw]

The dude was a manically depressed, too!

What's the solo at 0:41 called? He plays it in alot of his tracks in "Honestly".

[godwhyisthistaken]

@ultimabass its called "manic chromatics" lol

[ultimabass]

I definitely agree that Jaco was one of the best bassists in the world, but I lost respect for him when I found out he said "...I am the greatest electric bass player in the world". Pure arrogance...

[entengasse]

yes. ok.

[CaptainObvious77]

Don't forget he also said "It ain't braggin' if you can back it up"  ;)

[schnuckiputz999]

Yeah-obviouvsly so!

But he changed from an anti-alcoholic-person to an alcohol / drug-addicted-person in a short period of time !

He was out of his his mind in his last years and had no proper medical/psychiatory advisory !!!

Very Sad !!!

ultimabass,

Amen to CaptainObvius77 remark.

He was the greatest electric bass player.

[davidjholt68]

get a grip mate! he was only being honest like he used to say `It aint bragging if you can back it up` he backed it up!

[rjst09]

this was also at a time when nobody paid attention to the bass. Jaco's arrogance brought attention to his genius and he was also the first to recognize those players he was influenced by. jaco was a true originator.

@ultimabass

It ain't bragging if you can back is up.

[aki23bass]

@ultimabass

He WAS the greatest!!! He was only honest...

[Atreyu4]
