Doubly funny when you remember that Charles Mingus didn't want Joni to use Jaco on the amazing "Mingus" project because........
(wait for it......) Mingus didn't *like electric bass. Lama Fred Simon said: >No, he didn't, but the funny thing is that when Josef Zawinul, co-founder of Weather Report, first heard Jaco on tape he called him up to hire him and asked "Do you play electric bass, too?" He had a sound on electric that was significantly informed by acoustic bass sound and playing practice. "Bree Mcdonough" wrote: >6.Jaco:Did he play the accoustic bass at all in his career?
