Bright Size Life has been a long-standing favorite of mine and one of my favorite showcases of Jaco's tone and abilities (and also Joni Mitchell live album). I always wondered why this album, so harmonically and rhythmically rich and complex, wasn't more celebrated. Good to know that Pat Metheney composed the solo, and really fascinating about the melody being traced back through so many versions. Also, great to know about the legit chorus of bass tracks and his reasoning behind it. I always enjoy your channel and very much relate with your opinions on bass lines and players -- many of which I knew about, and also some that I never heard of. Keep up the great work!

Great video! Paul is doing a great job of educating people about the way it is. He not only picks great material to choose from (JACO) but does the research to make sure it is correct. It definitely sounds like a Metheny melody without question. This was a big part of John Lennon's classic sound - singing the melody twice as everyone knows.There's nothing like the sound of the same Voice twice because it's a perfect match and makes it stand out more uniquely than say two people singing the same harmonies. Here Jaco's using the same technique, His voice - the bass - his DNA and only his - which makes it sounds so gorgeous! Beautiful playing Paul!

No "pedals," but he used one or more MXR digital delays - rack-mount units or close to it in format - and the built-in distortion effect of the Acoustic 360 amps. Many times he'd run dry through one 360 and through the MXR into a second 360; that's a huge sound right there. Also used the MXR as a looper for his solos ("Slang" on Weather Report's 8:30).

I waited for this episode! Used to be a cha cha solo was and still is my favorite. The Jaco record was the first Jaco playing I've listened to and maybe it was because I needed the running time of the whole Jaco album to find my directions and be ready to absorb that solo. After that of course I fell in love with other solos from that album but hearing for the first time Used to be a chacha was like an earthquake to me, it was forgive me the expression: orgasmic. It was some time after that when I acquainted myself with Bright Size Life, and although I loved all the tracks leading to the B&G when the Jaco part in it finally came I had a very similar sensation, this part really gave me goose bumps.

An amazing guitar player who I also played with named Sawn lane said concerning Jaco... " its sad that society makes provision and supports people who have needs but never makes provision or takes care of People like Jaco who needed help in many other ways".. Insted he walked into a bar and was beaten by a bouncer... then later died.. WHat a sad way for someone so talented to die.
