Members Perfessor Posted December 3, 2008 Members Share Posted December 3, 2008 Jaco appears around 1:38 into it. I really like this song from her Hejira album. [YOUTUBE]B2rjDBQ1UDY[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members brake Posted December 3, 2008 Members Share Posted December 3, 2008 Sucked hard Can you elaborate? I'm serious, I'm not trying to start a fight, I just want to know what specific things drew you to the conclusion that it "sucked hard". I'm really curious about how or why different people like different kinds of music. When I listen to new music and find something I hate, I listen to it again and figure out why. Maybe I'm weird.

Members Brother Mango Posted December 3, 2008 Members Share Posted December 3, 2008 I was shocked when someone played a bunch of Jaco's own music for me and I didn't like any of it. He put on Joni and I immediately say, "Wow, I like that bassist." and my friend remarked, "that's Jaco." Cool. I like the stuff he did with Joni. But Jaco's own stuff is too damned abstract-feeling, and cluttered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JeffBass Posted December 3, 2008 Members Share Posted December 3, 2008 I saw Jaco live with both Weather Report and Joni Mitchell. Of course the Joni stuff is more palatable for those who aren't that into jazz, despite the jazz leanings of her band at the time it wasn't as hardcore as Weather Report. I liked both shows equally but it was cool seeing Jaco play more "songy" in Joni's band though because his melodic sense had to be more in tune with her. It's a similar effect that Bill Bruford's band had on Jeff Berlin since Bruford's brand of fusion was highly structured yet still left open spots for improvisation, which made these spots more dramatic and interesting IMO.

Members catphish Posted December 4, 2008 Members Share Posted December 4, 2008 I love listening to Jaco with Joni. Jaco was one of the reasons I got into bass. He (along with the bass player of the band I was in) changed my idea of the instrument, but his work with Joni is what I love the most now.

Members brake Posted December 4, 2008 Members Share Posted December 4, 2008 Gotta agree with that, I listen to Hejira and Mingus way more than Heavy Weather or his ST (which I love). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lefty's Ghost Posted December 4, 2008 Members Share Posted December 4, 2008 I like him and many of the lines he played, but I think he kills that song. I have to agree, I love Jaco but not his playing in that particular performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bryan316 Posted December 4, 2008 Members Share Posted December 4, 2008 Sucked hard I'm a metalhead. I am not a Joni fan. I am not a Jaco fan. But even I could appreciate that song. And that basswork. That was a GREAT song. Excellent vibe and feel, and those harmonics between the guitarist and Jaco were AMAZING sounds. Just delicious. And I've got band practice tonight, and my bass is in my office here to stay warm. Lunchtime comes, I'm figuring out that chorus! Somebody educate my ignorant ass, and tell me what DVD that video was from, so I can go enlighten myself. Christmas is coming, I can put that on somebody's list!

The DVD is awesome..Don Alias, Lyle Mays, Michael Brecker, and Pat Metheney are in the band w/ Jaco and Joni. It's like 9 different kinds of awesome.
