Mike Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Joni Mitchell's live version of "In France They Kiss on Main Street" with Jaco on bass would be my pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3V17C Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 (edited) for starters... NV43345 by Billy Sheehan (Talas era) Something off Stu Hamm's first album - maybe 'flow my tears' (but NOT that country thing!!) something by Victor Wooten (and maybe something by Jaco although I have to confess to not being his greatest fan!) and to show something completely different and how a simple essentially one note bass line can make a song I would also add '20th Century' by Brad from the album Shame.

gilmour Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Brad - I remember them - wasn't that with one of the dudes from Pearl Jam? 20th century was there only good track though For my tupence worth it would have to include Iconic bass tracks: School Days - Stanley Clarke Hair - Larry Graham Teen Town - Wether Report Definatley a Chili's track off of BSSM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantdosleepy Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Do you want a CD where the bass works really well, or where the bass is very much the focus? I'd suggest some disco for music that thrives on bass but isn't necessarily note-packed. Good Times by Chic? Why not something simple and melodic like What's Goin On? Are you trying to teach someone about new artists? How about a bass-only band like DFA1979? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Willie Weeks's bass solo from Voices Inside "(Everything Is Everything)" on Donny Hathaway's live album. Got to have some James Jamerson so something like Bernadette by the Four Tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would have to include Soul to Squeeze by the Chilis. Fantastic, melodic playing. And no bass compilation would be complete without some James Jamerson on there.
