    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.

  • yea except he became the greatest bass player in the world, its an influence just like any other musician, jaco took it to another level

  • "6/4 Jam" from the 2000 CD reissue of JP's debut album.

  • 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

  • It's about time.

  • All the best to those involved in making this happen.

    "Take Rome, it wasn't built in a day either."

    PS: The song is called 6/4 Jam and is from Jaco's debut CD, offered on the re-mastered 2000 Sony CD.

  • what is this song, please?
