Bravo. Hard to believe that this masterpiece was written using the harmonics on a 4 string bass. I love your treatment of what many perceive to be Sacred music.
This brought tears to my eyes! Beautiful rendition! I met him in San Francisco’s Guitar Center, September of 1987. I was fiddling on a bass, playing some riffs and I happen to look up and there he was. Smiling, giving a fist pump! Damn near dropped an unpaid for bass! Spent the next hour watching him play bass, piano and engaging in conversation the whole time. A homie and I, along with Jaco and another brotha all walked out together, gave each other handshakes, hugs and went our separate way. Three weeks later as I was driving home from Reno where I had just got married heard the news come over the radio that had died. I had to pull over. My wife at first thought I was crying because we had gotten married. Those tears came eight years later! RIP Jaco❤
@@PiaSalvia No, really, thank you for sharing your music for real. If someone had told me a cover on harp of Jaco would blow my mind, I never would have believed it until I saw this. Truly amazing.
Pia; this is the most impressing thing. I went to an evening when the utmost professors celebrated Jaco. No-one could play this tune. They tried, but very slowly. Thank you , And love you for this one. Wonderful tune
Great! If I’d never heard Jaco then heard this played on the harp I would think that it was part of a classical piece! It is. Played beautifully on the harp.
This is just incredible Pia.. I remember when my mom and uncle showed me how to get a harmonic by bisecting the string (and the proper way to mute and strike it at the same time.. Something I do playing bass with out really even having to so consciously "think" about it now.. I still can't play this one but had a friend years ago that played it perfectly.. (closed your eyes and you'd have thought it was Jaco.. 😔).. Thanks always for playing such a broad spectrum of genres so incredibly well.. You are amazing..🎶🤯👍 True respect.. 🙏
But let me be even more specific,@@PiaSalvia. It’s how you interpreted the harmonics @ 0:47. Just brilliant because this piece is so based on them. I KNOW Jaco is loving that from his heavenly place.
I'm a Brazilian bassist and Jaco is my idol, I love his music. I remember when I first heard “Portrait of Tracy” and that song sounded magical, one of the most wonderful things I’ve ever heard. Thank you so much for making this amazing version on your harp! Is perfect! ❤️
Thank you for the pedal shot. I was watching your left hand, expecting to see you transition strings when you played the chromatic descending/ascending section. I had no idea that the harp could shift notes like that.
probablement une des plus juste techniquement version de ce sublime morceau. Je pense que l' interprétation manque d'absence de soi presque d'envie. C'est parfait techniquement
I’ve been watching a lot of Jaco the last few days since the anniversary of his death. This just popped up on my feed. I’m so glad it did !! You play it beautifully. I’ve followed you for some time on Instagram but, hadn’t seen this. Glad it found me !!!
I play some acoustic guitar and bass, mainly because I always enjoyed the resonance of an instrument against my body. But I can’t imagine what that feels like to have all the sound resting against you from a harp. Especially when it’s something like that! 👍👍👍
Inbeliveble and mindblowing 🤯 ! You´re like an angel. Don´t die, please 🙏 there´s really few people like you in this world... where are you guys from, by the way ? the genius talented well tasted land !! thank you so much
Wow.. I've always thought Jaco must have arranged that on piano at first because he was a very accomplished player, and all the overtones and harmonics just seemed to work together that way, but he would be very honored with your attention to detail and feeling recreating his masterpiece. I really could feel your passion for it coming through. Bravo Pia
Fantastic rendition of a Jaco classic! Love you're use of harmonics on a harp. As a bass player I never knew that was even a thing for harp. Really brought out the authenticity to the tune. Awesome job!

Thanks Daron! And thanks so much for your beautiful comment and sharing this precious story 🙏
Yeahhhhhh
🥰😍😍
This is the most beautiful song. Jaco would be so proud to hear his composition executed so wonderfully!
Thank you so much!!
Oh, what a lovely cover of this beautiful tune. I could listen for hours. Haunting, soft and precious.
Thanks so much, Louise 🥰
this actually made me cry i'm obsessed with how perfect the arrangement was
Waw, thanks so much 🙏🙏
Wow. This is hands down the coolest non-Jaco version of this I have ever heard.
Wow, thanks so much, Christopher 🙏😊
I literally was in tears after this😔. So freaking beautiful
Waw, thanks so much Jeremey!
The all-time cooliest thing I've every seen anyone do on a harp - absolute perfection! Jaco would have smiled on you for sure.
🥹🙏 thank you!

@@jtrushThanks so much! 🥲🙏☺️
Literal tears in my eyes. It’s as if Jaco heard you play this first. Possibly the most beautiful version ever done. Bravo.
Thanks so much, Shahid 🥹 It means a lot 🙏
This is very fitting considering the harmonics technique on bass is often called "harp harmonics", killer cover!
Thanks so much!
Astonishing. Far more than a tribute.
Thanks so much! 😊🙏🙏

AMAZING! My whole body felt it!
Thanks so much 😊🙏
You caught the intention of the composer perfectly. So musically played.fantastic.

At first I thought "how is she gonna play this on a harp?" then I started watching and I thought "well how does that guy play it on a bass??"
Haha 😋 thank you 🙏
Wow!
🙏😍
one of the greatest versions i've seen here in youtube
Thanks so much, that means a lot 🙏
Crikey! That's beautiful. The tune translates to harp so well... lovely playing.
Thanks so much! 🙏🙂
Good idea, to play this on the harp 👍
Thanks :)
Sweet, merciful crap, that is lovely. Great cover.
Who knew harps had pedals? I didn't. Subbed!
Thanks so much, Luke!

Awesome. Never heard someone play Jacos stuff on a different instrument. Would love to hear Continuum if you plan on doing more Jaco.
Thanks! I’ll have to try that one:)
One of a few tunes that make me cry a little when i listen alone. Well done 😂
Thanks! 😊
