Theres a lot of "amazing solo bass compositions" that are certainly impressive to physically play but are compositionaly boring, but this proves that Jaco was so much more than just a skilled bassist
@@yakomilisich1207 Yes, I know that. I can play it on bass, actually. My point is that before Jaco, no one would think to compose a piece like this on bass.
If I didn't know anything about this piece, and just heard it, I would've thought it's just another piano piece. A really good one at that. It's fucking unreal how this is a single 4 string bass piece
always somewhat odd to hear that piece with a totally different timbre than a classic fender jazz bass, but definitely nice feeling right there, mister!
just out of curiosity as I am kinda new, how is he getting such a fat bass sound without the bass eq bleeding into the higher notes, I have been struggling with this with my piano when I plug it into an amp
Hello, I'm making a hip-hop/rap beat using Jaco's Portrait of Tracey and want a section that transitions to keys, I'm not making any money of it or anything but might post it to soundcloud, I'm pretty sure it would be fair use but also just want to ask if you're okay with that. If I do post the finished beat publically to soundcloud or my youtube channel I would be sure to credit you for the keys and include a link to this video. You got the sound perfect for electric keys which is why I want to sample your version, I might also sample a really cool acoustic piano cover I found on another channel for more colours. lmk Edit: I did make a beat, it's uploading to my channel, it's a bit janky as I had trouble making different tempo performances that some aren't played to a click and sometimes played rubato fit in the same tempo but I still like it. If I wasn't so busy with programming classes I'd polish it more. I only used about 10 seconds of your cover, the main head kinda section. It's a pretty rough beat mix and production wise but I'm proud of it This is a great performance
some notes are off but it makes sense since the keyboard is tuned to 12 tone temperament and pinch harmonics on bass guitar are whole-number fractions of a fundamental. it makes me appreciate more how the instrument itself influences the pitches of a piece of music.
Beautiful performance and arrangement. I just got a couple books of his music and have fallen in love with his first album. Many thanks for sharing this ✌👏
On this rhodes patch the lower frequencies are rather loud, so it seems as though hes trying to compensate. In fact, toward the middle of it his right hand is almost drowned out by his left.
Man what a PRECISE performance
Adam Ragusea? Fancy seeing you here!
Sinetimes I forget that you're a music fanboy
You like THIS stuff too?
That's crazy!
Adam's a man of culture
It's simply amazing that Jaco was able to put this much harmonic complexity on a 4 string bass. For bassist this is highly inspiring.

Amen.
yesssss god=jaco
Jaco played the piano and sax also...
The man was a genius
Kind of funny how this is essentially a piano piece. What a genius Jaco was.
A piano piece you say? Hold my frets - Jaco P
is a bass piece bro :v
@@yakomilisich1207 Yes, I know that. I can play it on bass, actually.
My point is that before Jaco, no one would think to compose a piece like this on bass.
music is music I guess
I often think of my bass as a small piano.
If I didn't know anything about this piece, and just heard it, I would've thought it's just another piano piece. A really good one at that. It's fucking unreal how this is a single 4 string bass piece
Sums it up!
@@aragusea Whoa, fancy seeing you in the wild. I guess you have been a music nerd also. Love your stuff!
"Do you guys know Portrait of Tracy? No? Perfect, check out this song I wrote."
This is exactly what I was looking for when I searched „Portrait of Tracy Rhodes“ haha.
Simply beautiful interpretation :)
bravo. Unfortunately the final chord just doesn't have the same impact on keyboard.
If it was me playing, I'd go fff, and let the chord linger on forever hahahah
That rhodes sound is so great with this piece.
Bravo! Was listening to the Jaco album yesterday. This is a excellent cover. Never would have imagined it played on keys. 😌
i didn’t know i needed this until i watched it
such a restrained composition. gorgeous!
美しい！このピアノカヴァーはもっと評価されて良い気がする。
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
The low frequencies are massaging my soul
Very nicely rendered. You nailed the dynamics and your tones are perfectly basic for what the song needs.
always somewhat odd to hear that piece with a totally different timbre than a classic fender jazz bass, but definitely nice feeling right there, mister!
The shot is just as satisfying as your awesome rendition. Great job. I definitely have to learn this now.

This is a great performance
amazing. really highlights how un-gimmicky jaco was
Was wondering if the upper harmonics bits would be possible on keys, you nailed it !
Sounds just like it. It really does seem like Jaco might have composed it on a piano?
Lovely! Would love to get the music. any chance?
what keyboard is that? it sounds incredible and Im looking to buy one to put in my room
Nord
the time is so accurate :O
めちゃくちゃいいんですけど！！！
that's cool, never thought it would be a bass piece from this
you are great my friend, congrats and thank you for sharing this, goes straight to my soul
Absolutely sublime performance! Sincere congratulations! Much health, all the best, and keep up the good work! Jaco would be proud of you! 😊
Wow! That was cool. Nicely done!
That's a great rendition !!!
Great! You could add a Slight Flam from high to lower notes…as Jaco rakes the strings from high to low.
Me llena el alma!

Lovely arrangement and playing.
Wow, man, that was freakin perfect. Down to the tones and pauses and everything. Right on.
I come here to calm down while working on my pc at home.
This was so damn pretty. Really heady music.
Beautiful
Very good , congratulations!
Jaco was Debussy with a electric bass
nice!
I lost count how many times i came back here. This song is great and your rendition give different atmosphere.
I like to think of my bass as a small portable piano.

Beautiful job! Well done. YOu did Jaco justice
Fuck I just discovered this

Great cover. Touching.
曲も映像もすごくすごく美しい

With your ears or you won’t really learn anything, truth!
This is bad ass!
Amazing man. Very well played
Excellent to say the least!
Your clock needs new batteries!
(thanks for the music! Great idea, beautiful rendition)
Nah, I'm pretty sure the time just stopped when he started playing
@@arturipits4598 good one : D
So so beautiful!!!
what kind of piano is this?
Great cover!
Great job!
#Classic 2021 still 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
FIIIIRRREEEE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
1:55 is what I came for
Jaco cured me ❗
Incredible! Can you do another w/ applied phaser / delay pedal version?
Why? Who do you think you are? This is a gift, incredible isn’t enough for you?
gorgeous
Oh man. Bravo. Beautiful.
very well played, sir!
"everyone liked that."
No one does a tutorial on this . YOU could be the first one !!! 😉
So...........is someone going to teach it?
@@pacisablo Just watch him play, you can see all the keys he is pressing 90% so the 10% you need to fit in by ear
there's free sheet music online....
