hello ingrid and everyone , i was at ronnie scotts last night in london and spoke to richie goods who told me that jaco apparently turned up at ronnies in the 80`s when art blakey was playing and jaco sat in on lonnie plaxico`s upright . the next night jaco came back with his bass and played lead/hendrix bass over the whole band . art was looking like `what the .... is going on here ????` ... i remember hearing about this but i wasnt there . would have been a classic to have seen . the conversation with richie started when i saw his electric bass on stage while my friend steve fishwicks quintet were playing the jam session . i told richie to get up there and blow over the top .... i would have loved to have done it and ****** of all the purist`s ... again . cheers , mike .
