Grahambythesea Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 It occurred to me listening to Weather Report that next year is the 30th anniversary of Jaco 's untimely and tragic death. How about a tribute album with various bassists, particularly those renowned for playing fretless, to play their interpretations of tunes associated with Jaco. Anyone like to contribute suggestions of bass players that they'd like to hear on such an album? Any record producers out there who could take on this project ? Some my personal suggestions for artists would be: Kyle Eastwood Bunny Burnel Michael Mannering Gary Willis Pino Palladino Laurence Cottle Richard Bona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBus Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Could always do another but it has been done already. https://www.discogs.com/Jaco-Pastorius-Big-Band-Word-Of-Mouth-Revisited/release/1195972 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahambythesea Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 Didn't know about that album, interesting but still might be fun for others to have a go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero9 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Why not do a 'Basschat' take on a Jaco compilation CD? I'm sure a lot of people here could knock out a Jaco tune. It could be sold for charity perhaps. Unfortunately, I'm rubbish at playing any Jaco lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I have a cassette tape of me doing Portrait of Tracy on a gig about 20 years ago. Any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
