When we first presented the Park naming to the City of Oakland Park's commissioners they were unfamiliar with Jaco, and one of the commissioners didn't like the fact that the name might be associated with Jacko, lol.
Haha! This is weirdly wonderful! The main thing here is how this illustrates the huge amount of people Jaco influences, which can only be a good thing.
Remember 'Pullin' me Back' which used 'Portrait of Tracy?' on Chingy's album?
Absolutely delicious! An uncontrollable smile across my face every time I heard those horns. Played the video several times just for that. Once again affirming the universal beauty and irrepressible nature of Jaco's art. Thanks for letting us know about the video... love the website!!! -SW
Hello Massimo! Cool stuff, yes? And when are you coming back to Florida!? Julius might be going to Italy at some point this year, with his group, will keep you posted. Much love to you and the family!
Hi TomMcCooey, sorry I didn't acknowledge you sooner, how are you, your family, your art, and the band doing? Sure do remember Chingy's, the single made it to the top! And of course there was Rain by Sisters With Voices, which became a legal issue and was rectified.

Will ask my friend Tom to translate what he can, R.
