He looks like a happy, joyous child playing that piano... What a wonder of musical genius... Just f****** mind-blowing. And how psychosis, mania, can creep into the unguarded cracks of a fragile mind - yet a steel-strong mind as well. And acute alcoholism - the damage that can cause. Bless his soul.

I dont remember who it was who said it (Maybe Gerald Veasley, Vic Bailey or Marcus Miller...someone of that vain anyway) but they referred to Jaco saying, "My brother said "Yeah you can play his licks but could you come up with them in the first place?" For me, its a no brainer. Jaco is a legend in that respect. Yes there are technically better players but the guys natural ability was something else. in the 80's he had a MIDI set up sussed out and playing within 20mins of ever seeing it!!!

Clearly wasn't all there by this point. He knew enough to be able to play well, just didn't go to that full potential by that point any longer and just wasn't as tight as he once was on many fronts. He needed help. Desperately. Glad I figured it out and got help (drank too much). I found it exacerbated my mental trouble significantly as a musician too. You really do think you sound great but uh....no man um...things are distorted and you really can't recognize that until you get that help.

@1980Triumph What you call jazz I might call fusion as Weather Report more or less invented that term. Playing fretless was a Jaco invention , at least he was the first to get noticed doing that. If you had your ears correctly plugged in you would notice that Jaco never misses a note and it´s never false ,on the fretless. And was very technical On the piano he made fantastic chord/bass compositions but lacked a lot of tecnicality. I´ve played/ composed for 35 years.. how about you?

And for the last time, Jaco was held in high regard at the very instant he became internationally famous( around the time of his debut-album). Your behaviour is starting to annoy me, because writing these comments seems to be your primary habit on youtube. You have made your point clear long ago.
