It might still be Cliff Burton after all these years, with the mix of attitude, performance and talent. |

i'd hardly call Jaco a big soloist, especially not compared to modern virtuosos. sure he would take solo spots here and there but he also knew how to get in the pocket and stay there. consider something like 'used to be a cha-cha' from his S/T album. it's not really that tough of a bass line, until you try playing it that fast for that long.
i think my favourite thing about Jaco is how he definitely still cared about how it used to be done but didn't seem to give a crap about actually doing it that way. i get the impression his preferred jazz trio would have been bass, drums, and steel drums (which is one element of his music i can't get enough of Othello Molineaux = awesome). it's really too bad mental illness still carries the stigma it does, especially towards men in our society. that's the real tragedy of his demise. |
