That's not quite true. Like almost every other musician, he had early infulences. He gave credit to those infuences, but he also worked extremely hard at everything he did. He studied endlessly, and worked on technique far beyond what others were doing. Jaco developed the usage of artificial harmonics, and was the first bassist to incorporated melodic phraseology into the bass lines. By the end of his career, black bassists were copying him, as per the Marcus Miller tribute.
Jaco was the greatest but if he wasn't white this park wouldn't exist. Jaco constantly admitted he stole most of his stuff from Black bass players and he always gave credit to them
