I don't get it

This page of comments has almost all positive posts, and only one or two negatives. For YouTube, that's pretty amazing. Usually when the music is this interesting, and makes a few demands on the listener, a lot more Neanderthals come out of the woodwork to protest it.

@TheSoundsofthesouth who gives a shit if there was other bass players that fronted bands before him

Jaco was a great bass player, no doubt. But he has since been grossly overrated. He was not the first bass player to front a band. Stanley Clarke released his first solo album three years before Jaco did. Not to mention, of course, players like Mingus who gave the bass prominence even further back.

Jaco had his own sound, but so did Larry Graham show started the thumping movement.

Jaco played for an amazing fusion band, Weather Report, but Alphonso Johnson was there first..

Listen to this, then listen to Victor Wooten playing Amazing Grace

@MLATX512 did you ever listen to Come on Come Over? Not to mention his live in New York Performances when he does Medleys over Them Changes and Jimi Hendrix? He has tons and tons and tons of soul. I would judge him based off of a free jazz solo, you might get the wrong Idea. look those up on here, the guy could groove, he was a bit showy at times but since he was the first guy doing it at the time, he sort of got away with it haha.
