Jaco - Portrait of Tracy

I’m watching Weather Report, Live at Montreux 1976 and when Jaco plays Portrait of Tracy they have some nice closeups of both his fretting and plucking hands.

Beautiful song, and revolutionized bass as an instrument as it illustrated just another aspect of the Bass tonal capabilities!

I totally agree. While I have learned that fretless is not my sound Jaco was a true master of both the bass in general and fretless in particular.
