Those harmonics are something else. Jaco had such a great ear for creating those textures. He played the bass almost like a piano.
The harmonics on the low frets are so tough to sound, yet he plays them with such clarity. What a genius Jaco was!

My flash player is up the swanny tonight, but I'll check it out as soon as I can sort it out and I'll post some bad ass Tito Puente too
