chriswareham Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 [quote name='julesb' timestamp='1470679859' post='3107620'] I guess one of the undisputed giants of bass accompanying one of the greatest poets that ever picked up a guitar is not for everyone... [/quote] The rest of the track I like, it's just the bass I don't get. I usually like a collision of styles, but it really doesn't sound like the bass part is even accompanying the same song ...

Vince Mendoza and his terrific arrangements. Personally I only stumbled upon it last year. Not sure how I missed it to be honest. Sublime version of 'Hejira' [media]http://youtu.be/yt50Te9RriI[/media] [/quote] Well, in my own humble opinion, it doesn't get any better than this on this planet, 'between the forceps and the stone'. The very [i]definition [/i]of 'sublime'. There are, all through JM's long and fruitful career, so many pure gems; several of them are graced with a contribution from JP. Look, it's no exaggeration to say that it's even better than the Grateful Dead, and even Schubert..! There, I've said it..! Edited August 8, 2016 by Dad3353 Quote

interpol52 Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1470584218' post='3106895'] Jaco was not actually that technical; he was funky as fcuk. Of course there were great technical tracks that stretched the envelope but, in the main, he grooved. I know technical players. Jaco was much more than that. [/quote] Agreed. This grooves like hell in places. https://youtu.be/GAJB925yR8o Quote

S'all good, really. [/quote] I listened to the 9th symphony this morning. I can't knock it but I think I preferred the Trout quintet mainly because of the size of the ensemble. More like a decent band with each instrument distinct in a way that only soloists can achieve in an orchestra. I learned something about my taste in music today. Cheers. Quote
