As he would have said " Write it down !" that_sustain Junior Username: that_sustain Post Number: 48 Registered: 8-2012 Posted on Saturday, September 22, 2012 - 3:12 am:    I have a couple favorite Jaco moments. One is when he's playing along to a pre recorded track of himself with the scroll bass. The track stops, and he keeps soloing to the chord changes in his head. Another time would be with Birele, live in Japan. Jaco's chops were through the roof on that album. sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 2642 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Saturday, September 22, 2012 - 10:22 am:    I agree, Jaco & Birele had good musical chemistry . I will check out the live in Japan stuff again .I also like the "live in Italy" recording .I have lots of Jaco recordings that are rather obscure , including " Holiday for Pans". terryc Senior Member Username: terryc Post Number: 1986 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Saturday, September 22, 2012 - 1:27 pm:    Just after the first day of Autumn(Fall) Missed greatly but the music is always there that_sustain Junior Username: that_sustain Post Number: 49 Registered: 8-2012 Posted on Sunday, September 23, 2012 - 8:14 am:    Shoot I meant Live In Italy. lol sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 2645 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Sunday, September 23, 2012 - 11:01 am:    I played in a trio in the mid 1990's with a great Jazz /Blues guitarist from South Carolina . We did " The Chicken" and a few other tunes that had a "Birele & Jaco " vibe to it . It was too much fun . We really had lots of freedom for improvisation and interpretation in that trio; Guitar , Bass & Drums .We played quite a few gigs in the San Francisco Bay Area in California . funkyjazzjunky Senior Member Username: funkyjazzjunky Post Number: 829 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Monday, September 24, 2012 - 10:38 am:    Who is Birele?
