  1. Understandably, choosing just one may prove to be difficult, but if you could... Perhaps this is cheating a little, but everything Jaco does on this tune is just perfect... One of the greatest fusion performances ever:
  2. For those of you who do want to try some of the more accessible jazz, these are a few personal favourites: And for something a little different... and for something really different... (This is amazing, btw) And there is so much more out there...
  3. I once had explosive diarrhea 😑
  4. Cory is one Funky dude. Glad he plays with Vulfpeck these days.
  5. Let this be a safe haven for sharing your love of all things jazz-tastic 😎 Just to get it out of the way nice and early, here's the impossible Giant Steps:
  6. Well, someone's dropped something in here... Open a window! Or, perhaps, it's just that jazz is not dead... It just smells funny. 🤔 😃
  7. This isn't just Jazz... It's soul, it's blues, it's gospel, it's groooooooooove 😎
  8. Who doesn't like a bit of midnight Mingus? One of the best openers on any album! And let's not overlook what happens to be one of the best album titles/covers 🤣
  9. This is not my oversized suit. Oh, wait a minute... Yes it is.
  10. Netflix would be a better option... Lots of great shows to get into and only £7.99 subscription. I rarely ever watch 'actual' TV.
  11. I'm rather hoping I'm not the only Talking Heads fan here. I've always been fond of their unique approach to pop/rock/funk and Byrne's unconventional style/lyrics. Tina Weymouth is a big part of that, also. The simplest of basslines that fit in perfectly with everything else. Two great examples (and both great tunes)
  12. Aye... Haggis-powered funk is a thing to behold.
  13. Why would anyone create such a thing 🤔
  14. Surely that's just because you're too cool for school 😎
  15. In truth, that performance, the genuine one, is pretty darn awful anyhow. Not sure it needed a parody 🙄 I say that a huge Herbie fan. Not his finest hour. I've always found Chick to be hit and miss...
  16. Well, the first lesson was quite humbling... Back to absolute basics, and the realisation of how hard it can be to execute good technique. Best to get these things addressed sooner rather than later. I know all too well how ingrained bad technique can become, and the effort it takes to undo it... Lots to work on!
  17. No chance! I'm committed to becoming a badass on the bass 😎
  18. @Delberthot Seeing your avatar, I can't help but think you're ha-ha-ing at everyone that's paid for a set-up 😀
  19. Willkommen 😎 (That's German for welcome...) (No, I'm not German...)
