      I got to meet him right around this time in New York City and let me tell you Jaco had the strongest hand shake I've ever felt from anyone. It was like a vice and I think it's got a lot to do with his sound. Sounds so effortless but there's a lot of strength in his hands. Scary strong!

This cat is so above my playing (not to toot my horn but I'm a fairly decent bass player) I love listening to him. I love that 'Come on Come Over" with Sam and Dave and the rest of that album, but nope. He had no influence on my playing just my self esteem.

    It is some kind of indian war paint or something. I read that sometimes he would put shoe polish on his face. This video is from around 1982 or so. This is the point he began loosing touch with reality. He was a severe manic depressive/bi-polar and also a severe alcoholic and cocaine addict. He was put in a psychiatric hospital at least once. His playing is still incredible here. About a year after this, record companies almost wouldn't touch him. His behavior became so erratic. In the 70's during his first solo album and most of the time he was in weather report, he wouldn't drink, use drugs or anything. His is really a sad, sad story. I have his biography somewhere, and I re read it about once every year or two. Tragic story.

But even while Jaco was going whacko, he did way more important work than anything Zawinul could do after 1977. Any disagreement on how i am explaining the story?

Jaco held this group together, he was the harmony, bass, percussion, and soloist simultaneously. I literally cannot even recall any other bass player coming close to this performance in sheer musicality.

    Love how comments about Jaco veer so carelessly and tactlessly towards his mental illness. Yes, the man had some issues that were sadly untreated and caused the decline of a musical icon. That’s hardly the important thing to enshrine and it’s really sick that everyone has to gawk about the problems he faced. I get that it’s all part of the Jaco mythos, but it’s time for people to get a damn grip and talk about how bloody awesome he is, and leave it at that. When there’s a good reason to talk about his mental health (which it is very important to talk openly about), then let’s do that, but not just talk about it for no reason, because it neither helps advance mental health issues, nor does it show respect to Jaco’s legacy. It just perpetuates the fascination with people’s pain instead of their triumphs.
