[quote="mknight"]I guess thats my only disagreement ... i think about what even the great Jaco would've done with songs like Dazed and Confused or Black Dog when writing them. Yes, its a horrible comparison and probably makes no sense - but its funny to think about it!![/quote]
Sure! Totally wrong guy for those tunes.
Joni Mitchell said something great about Jaco. She said that until she worked with him, every bass player wanted to put up a picket fence through her music. When you listen to Hejira, the last thing in the world you think of is structured limitations.
And all that is why I think that a busy bass player -- even a GREAT busy bass player -- with Stewart and Andy would be hideous.
