Mcgiver69 Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 To me Jaco was not a great soloist, his case was as other say "hit & miss" but when we talk about groove, well there is no one better. For some great Jaco's groove check these ones: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFM-ZX5Trro"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFM-ZX5Trro[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMQUFvv0WRY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMQUFvv0WRY[/url] This one is not bad and please remember that all that was in the 70's when no one was doing it.

I am a huge Jaco fan-to the point of having a large canvas print of him in my living room- but I don't think that his improvised solos were all that good. The composed solos,like Havona, are pure brilliance,but where improvising is concerned Jeff Berlin was way ahead. However Jaco opened the door to a new way of playing,and whether you like him or not,you have to respect how he advanced the Bass Guitar in a way that no one else has..... with the exception of Stanley Clarke.
