    Bwah! It was a nutcase loner.  Where did he get a shooter from?

    Also, I bet his moisturiser game was mad wheak, son.

    I am a big Jaco fan and thought it was well done albeit shallow.
    Props to Robert Trujiillo for giving back with some of that Metallica fortune.
    Overall it left me really sad  and asking why are all superheroes always fatally flawed?
    Too bad Zawinul was such a jealous prick and that murderous bastard that killed Jaco got out of jail in 4 months for "good behavior"
    I like the first weather report record a lot but Jaco is not on that one.
    The other one's are ok but not my cup of tea and obviously get lamer as the catalog "progresses"
    Also you can blame a lot of the rise of "smooth jazz" on Zawinul [and creed taylor]
    The best stuff Jaco did was outside of WR.
    As i've stated elsewhere his work on Metheny's debut bright size life is stellar as are his solo lp's.
    I was surprised they never named Luc Havan (for it was he who beat Jaco into the coma in which he died) or really elaborated on the circumstances.  I guess it's not going to bring Jaco back - maybe they didn't want to give this scumbag any attention at all, but it galls me.  Trujillo also bought Jaco's bass which resurfaced years after being stolen when Jaco was sleeping rough.  He looks after it for Jaco's family.  I think Jaco's son Felix is playing this at the start of the movie.

    As far as Zawinul, I never really got into his music.  I only really dug the WR stuff which Jaco wrote/co-wrote, or where Acuna and Badrena smashed it.  To a similar degree, Shorter.  I was expecting when he joined Miles I would dig it more but it's not got the energy of the "Four and More" stuff and meanders too much for me. 
    I am not a fan of Metheny's playing either so BSL doesn't have the impact it has for you.

    I'd go for Jaco's eponymous debut, his "Word of Mouth" set and Joni's "Shadows and Light" / "Hejira" sets for maximum Jaco enjoyment.

    You can't google:

    "I dug [artist x], what other artists inhabit that mind garden?"
    "What Zappa should I avoid?"
    "Neil Young.  What is all the fuss about?"
    "95% of Northern is dog-muck.  Discuss."

    (well you can, but only somewhere like t3h Strut would you get meaningful answers).
