  • This is one of the few songs I really dig from this guy. Word of mouth is the only album of his I liked enough to buy. Got it in a used LP store in London :P

  • This is slightly speeded up as to allow play on youtube?

    Thanks for upload.

    Trust me. I know. I own this LP myself. The slight speed shift makes the song end ten seconds before the "real" version. My guess is that the uploader changed the key in order to make the video undetectable to the youtube censors. Sorry for the cheap joke.

  • @PhuckHue2

    I was joking with you to see your reaction. It seems it doesn't take much to get you all riled up.

  • @Thepopdelusion I give up. you are a tone deaf dumbass

  • @Thepopdelusion trust me I am a Jaco-ologist. I own the LP, remastered CD and I also play bass. This song is in the key of A but this youtube clip is sped up to the key of A#

  • @PhuckHue2

    It's not.

  • @benfrets Me too! Jaco not only changed the way I listen to music, he changed how I look at nature. Thanks for you comment!

  • This is what creation sounded like, as God spoke the world into existence.

  • @dougcash1 actually it's Toots Thielemans, Belgian name :)
