How wonderful to hear new and different
interpretations of Jaco's music. Especially
with an accordion so central in the sonic landscape,
which is quite unusual in such a setting.
I have listen his beautiful work with great pleasure too, a great European bass player who understood,without plaggiat,the musical heritage of jaco…I would like to hear his band on stage, too...
With pleasure, Karl. I was recently also introduced to another bassist, Charlie Moreno from Spain, who stepped into one of the doors Jaco left for some to open, and has written a tune in his honor. He is listed at
http://www.jacop.net/songs.html
his CD is at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/morenocharlie
i heard this young spanish fusion bass player, it's very different musically and technically... but sincerelly i prefer monino's sound and this jazz way...monino seems to me deeper and poetic....it is only my modest opinion .
my name is Charlie Moreno. I'm a bass player from the Canary Islands, but I live in Barcelona.
I'm 27 and besides of my first record "so lonely", where I play mostly ORIGINALS, I do a lot of producing.
I love Jaco's music since I heard the very first note he played in the very first record I bought with his music.
I only wanted to say hello, and to present my RESPECT to Jaco's music, to Ingrid Pastorius and everyone involved in this forum.
Hi Charlie, a few weeks ago a friend sent me your name, and I have since added your song to Jaco from your "so lonely" CD on the list of Songs For Jaco on the site. Very nice, Charlie Moreno! Thank you!
Hi everybody !
I'm just a french man who lives also in Canada, I'm a fan of Jaco's playing and music, I recently bought the CD of Monino 'Around Jaco' in a shop... Franckly speacking I'm not disapointed, the album is original in its orchestration and all musicians are fantastic, specially Monino, who is really an inspired man, not only a 'technical' bassist, as you can hear many ones... here you find some kind of a 'grooving poetry' ! JeFF
somebody know other monino recording ?
i think this bass player is a "martian" who included the spirit of jaco without copying it!
For me, monino is an real artist on his bass five strings.
Yes, it is very nice to hear the inspirations Jaco created interpreted, and then delivered in an honorable way. Thank you, Frederic, and the many others who do same.
It makes me smile to hear the many versions of, for instance, POT on YouTube, done by different ages.
In life Jaco brought musical passion to many of us, his death left seeds of opportunity and aspiration for those who cherish what he produced, and choose to keep it blooming.
