One for Jaco fans

[Clarky]

In the later stages of his career Jaco played with then-young gypsy jazzer Bireli Lagrene, an absolute master of the gu*tar and oft-lauded heir to Django. Here is Bireli Lagrene doing a spookily similar impersonation of a Jaco fretless groove (just ignore the annoying saxophonist). Amazing facility and stamina

Turn off immediately if you don't like Jaco or fretless! Have included link as don't know how to show a YouTube page

Phwoar!

[JohnnyLightyear]

Bad ass!

[WinterMute]

Lovely, he's quoting Jaco's work all the way through that, as is the sax actually.

Ala Joni Mitchell, Shadows and Light.

Bireli Lagrene is one seriously talented musician.

[risingson]

Great playing, but definitely a complete Jaco clone!

[Mike]

But in this case I suspect that was kind of the point!

All you need to do is use "youtube" tags with the specific code for the video on YouTube (which comes directly after the "v=" in the URL, and before any "&" stuff). In this case, it's UY_wH15a7C0, so you just put

[code][youtube]UY_wH15a7C0[/youtube][/code]
which gives you



Ta da! Nice grooving, by the way...

Cool, thanks. Had long wondered howthis was done.

PS, there's another clip on YouTube (won't bore everyone with it) which shows just show prodigiously talented BG is/was - it shows him at age 12 playing a Django standard in a typical gypsy jazz band, then jumping on to upright bass for the bass solo before resuming lead guitar duties. Some (stupendously lucky) people are just born with it

The guy plays as though he were just breathing,no drama no sweat,no effort.Makes everthing look so easy.
True craftsman.
