Is This Classic Jaco Solo EVEN A SOLO?!

#bass #basshistory #analysis #transcription #basssolo #paulthompson
Digging into one of my favorite and lesser known Jaco Pastorius solos from 1975's "Bright Size Life" album with Pat Metheny. I'll get into Jaco's career surrounding this session, analyze the solo itself, and answer a question I've had for years: can we even consider this a solo? I'll tell you why it's one of the most important things Jaco ever played and how he got his signature sound on it.
Many thanks to the great bassist Mark Egan for the assist on this one!
