I just wonder what it would have been like if Jimi Hendrix had a bass player like Jaco. It would be unreal. Chris Squire said he was at that big Jimi Intro club show, where all the big guitar platers were blown away. He saw Jimi trying to show Noel Redding a simple bass line, and him struggling with it.
If only a lot of musicians had had Jaco. I can't think of anyone he wouldn't have been great with, like strapping the second stage part of a rocket on their ass and going even farther than they ever imagined.
@@3nthamornin Jaco is my favorite artist. I wish there was more in his discography. Holiday for Pans has been my jam, it's his arrangements but it's unknown whether he plays bass on the tracks. There are couple of tracks that are clearly not jaco. But holday for pans has the spirit of jaco without a doubt. Well worth listening to not only for his virtuosic playing but the incredible compositions and arragngements. Holiday for Strings is one of my favorite songs and he nailed it with pans!
@@DRCification I love Holiday!! Jaco played a lot of steel drums on that album actually! All of the bass guitar on the album is an overdub from a Japanese bass player (not sure of the player's name). I love all of Jaco's work!! It made my day to see your comment btw ...!
@@DRCification thats awesome. I love Jaco. I discovered him when I was 14 and became extremely obsessed with all of his work. Word of Mouth to me is arguably the best album of all time, Holiday is one of my favs!

@@Love-First Makes me wonder about people who commit suicide for reasons which do not include excruciating pain brought about by some medical ailment .

Comparing Bird, Hendrix, and Jaco as similar talents is is idiotic to any actual musician. Very little if anything in common there. Different eras, instruments, etc. Once I heard that statement in this video I shut it off.
No its not. No actual musician thinks like this. Bird, Jaco, and Hendrix all innovated the way their instrument was used and influenced generations of players on their respective instrument. If you don't understand their similarities its because YOU aren't an "actual musician". What is the definition of an "actual musician" anyways? Didn't realize you were a professor at Berkeley. If different eras / instruments disallows you from seeing the similarities between those 3 musicians you are literally blind and deaf.
I think what he meant was that each of them broke significant new ground with his respective approach to his instrument. Actually, I'm just echoing what the commenter above has stated.
Great doc about this unique musical genius; the likes of which we'll probably never see again on the scene of the 4-string electric bass...
jaco, really had a love for the instrument a love like no other.

3nthamornin holiday is so special. I discovered it about a year ago and it was an intimate time in my life musicaly because I spun that record.

Peter Cetera and John Paul Jones were better....

In my humble opinion, not.
