Joco changed the way we look at the bass..he was revolutionary. We can only imagine what he would be doing today, in a perfect world we would have a band with Jimi on guitar Joco on bass.

Daryl M Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Yea, for a bass solo, it's hard to beat Victor Wooton. That dude is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golem Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Yea, for a bass solo, it's hard to beat Victor Wooton. That dude is amazing. Oyez, way amazing solos ! A very inneressin blend of percussion & harmony but those are not bass solos. That is to say, Wooten is almost never "in the bass chair". Not to say he isn't 200% capable were he to choose to play bass, but he chooses not to be the bassist. Altho I have no first hand experience of this musical fact[?], IIRC, Mr. Wooten himself tends to agree, as evidenced by the times he employs a bassist to play bass whilst he plays his Wooten the Wizard role. ` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Nahum Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Great non-guitar solos? Where do you not start? Like docc says, it's time for a jazz thread. John Coltrane has already been mentioned Louis Armstrong - who introduced the idea of improvised soloing Charlie Parker - who, with Dizzy Gillespie, helped us understand how to use all twelve notes of the scale Art Tatum, Bill Evans, Thelonius Monk, Wynton Kelly.... Lester Young, Stan Getz, Wayne Shorter, Jan Garbarek, Coleman Hawkins, Dexter Gordon.... Freddie Hubbard, Miles Davis, Clifford Young, Chet Baker..... Ron Carter, Ray Brown..... All their stuff still sounds great. It's good for guitarists to listen to horn players. And today, you have people like Bela Fleck. RN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksiegel Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 How 'bout some Stanley Clarke.. Oh, yes! Stanley Clarke changed how I thought about and listened to Jazz, while I was in college. because of him, I started to listen to Chick Corea, Larry Coryell, Hubert Laws, Ronnie Laws, Donald Cherry... Basically the whole CTI catalog, starting with Bob James. I can't play jazz, but my old friend (RIP) Jack Fragomeni could, and we used to have a lot of discussions about the non-guitar jazz greats - and I can thank Stanley for getting me started on them.

rocketman Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I remember doing a piano audition in my youth. I asked my teacher what tune should I play. He said "pick a Jaco solo, play it with your right hand and fill in with your left." After I did that I really got the sense how melodic Jaco could be. I true genius...
