    36 years after his end of life, Jaco is still the boss of bass players.
    It will certainly remain so for eternity.
    RIP Jaco 🙏🏼

    It's simply amazing that Jaco was able to put this much harmonic complexity on a 4 string bass. For bassist this is highly inspiring.

      Jackson Page there’s an rnb group that had some hits in the 90’s, called swv, and they have a song called “rain”. well their song samples portrait of tracy, and redbone samples rain - so they all make a chain in a way. jaco -> swv -> gambino. all make great music too. music is fun as fuck.
