Now I'm listening to Jaco Live albums and trying to put together my ten favorite bass players of all time list.

I think I prefer his live recordings to the studio ones... there's more heart and passion in the live ones, I feel. When he's playing with Zawinul and the other heavies, he is really deeply in his head, and in the music theory, and I feel he loses the grooviness he could deliver.

That's why "Come on, Come over" is one of my favorites. It feels like he is really loose, on that track, and just smiling his big ole grin the whole way through...
