musicbassman Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 OK, many people have covered this, but i think the attention to detail here from the whole band is exceptional. Bass player is the Brazilian Michael Pipoquinha, who I think is only about 18 now. *really not jealous at all..... sniff......* 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 He's 23. Basstheworld.de wished him a happy 17th birthday on Facebook in 2013. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeFRC Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 One - impressive. Two - how much more impressive is it that Jaco played it on a four string with no frets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Jacp recorded it with a fretted bass. I don't think I've ever known him play the piece on a fretless bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I think I first heard the song heard about on basschat and the first YouTube video of the song looks like it’s him on a fretless jazz Edited March 19, 2019 by LukeFRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be this myth that Jaco played and recorded everything on Fretless. He used both quite a lot. Plus, when Jaco played Fretless, he sure did let everyone know... Mawaaaa...

songofthewind Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Check YouTube for Michael Pipoquinha playing Liberty City with an accordion player. Lovely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even checked the speed as , to me it sounded as if it was playing at 75% and dragging. Each to their own. I do like the OPs posted version, however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Fair enough. Music would be shtt if we all liked the same stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I personally believe that there are some things that Jazzers should stay away from at the risk of appearing to be misguided fan boys screaming 'Ya think Jaco was the greatest? Look at meeeeeeeee'! It's immature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) They aren't great either. Sorry. I am in a grumpy mood. I have two gigs on 29 and 30 March and then my diary is empty. Forced retirement..... Edited March 21, 2019 by Bilbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) Maybe try and get a gig with 'Latvian Radio Big Band'...? They're really busy, plus judging by the OP video, there are a few grumpy, moody's in there as well.
