73 P Bass Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 I was listening to a live Jaco CD. I was amazed at how well he took up the support role on the other players songs. He was locked in like Alcatraz! Just another reason he was so great. "Start listening to music!". -Jeremy C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottle12am Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Which album was it??? Maybe this should be a new board altogether, but... WHAT IS EVERYONE'S FAVORITE JACO ALBUM? Live in NYC Vol 3 is mine -- power trio setup with Kenny Dennard and Hiram Bullock... jaw dropping, eye opening religious experience for me. "Dear Prudence" is the perfect song.

Raven Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Me too... his first album was amazing. I also love Heavy Weather... but my vote for favorite album has to be his first one. BCR's homepage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy c Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Another vote for his first solo album. With Heavy Weather a close second. I'd put Bright Size Life in third place if I had to. Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodin Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 I actually just picked up Vol 3 today for a steal at $7.99 and haven't listened yet but I have Vol 2. and 4 which are both amazing. Have you all seen the new release "Portrait of Jaco, the early years. http://www.portraitofjaco.com/ Looks pretty good. a bunch of rare early unreleased stuff As with any instrument, the limits are your imagination.

Basshappi Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 1)Jaco 2) Tie - Heavy Weather and 8:30 - 8:30 was the first Jaco/WR album I bought and the only one I owned for years, it's like a comfortable pair of shoes. I love the energy on this album and the versions of "A Remark You Made", "Birdland", "Black Market" and of course "Teen Town" and "Slang" still blow me away! (I used to drive my mom nuts with this album!..parents just don't understand... ) 3)Bright Size Life Nothing is as it seems but everything is exactly what it is - B. Banzai Life is what happens while you are busy playing in bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Lawson Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 1. Hejira 2. Bright Sized Life 3. Don Juan's Reckless Daughter. The first two are in my all-time top 5 faves. I always much prefered Jaco as sideman/muse to Jaco as leader. Steve www.stevelawson.net StevieLand - go on, you know you want to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLsound Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I have the "Birthday Concert" as well. I do want to check out the others as well. My next purchase will be "Heavy Weather".

Dan South Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 1. Heavy Weather 2. Black Market (some songs played by Alfonso Johnson) 3. Night Passage (killer solo on Gibraltar and full version of Three Views of a Secret) 4. Jaco 5. Bright Size Life I've heard Mingus (okay), but I need to check out more of the Joni Mitchell recordings. The Black Knight always triumphs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbroni Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 "Don Juan's Reckless Daughter" - Joni Mitchell -------------------- thomas Right on man I just got this a couple days ago. So its too new to tell, but I just might like it the best of all the stuff with Joni. My favs Another vote for the self titled debut and Word of Mouth Together all sing their different songs in union - the Uni-verse.

Steve Lawson Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I've heard Mingus (okay), but I need to check out more of the Joni Mitchell recordings. indeed you do - Mingus has got some great moments, but is largely unfinished. A very cool selection of musical sketches though. Hejira, on the other hand, is one of the greatest sensory experiences ever. As Mo Foster once said, I envy anyone who hasn't heard it, cos they still that first time experience to come... Steve www.stevelawson.net StevieLand - go on, you know you want to!
