Not only that, on an upright the action is much higher than an electric bass, so playing quick and clean lower down on the neck is extra hard.

NHOP was not only one of the greatest jazz bass players but also one of the greatest Jazz musicians. Melodically, chromatically & rhythmically he had such depth. I just wish I'd seen him before he died. His spirit lives on in film footage and maybe elsewhere.

I am sorry that you did not get to experience NHOP in live concert, man. His "live sound" sounds FAR better than on any other recording I have ever heard. But that is probably because he is a master of tuning his upright for each particular show (he always used walked around on stage to check out exactly what kind of sound output devices would record his shows prior for them to be published, and yes... he was a fanatic, lol).

When I was 10 years old at a friend's house, his father was listening a very interesting jazz music , when asked him what was playing. He replied that it was one of the greatest guitar and bass players together. A few weeks later my friend's dad sent me CHOPS record as a birthday present. I still got the record. It was probably one of the best introduction to jazz a kid could ever have.

When Jaco hit the scene and everyone was so impressed I was like ho hum - Donna Lee, harmonics, etc - The Great Dane had done it all and more long before. Not only is he the greatest bass player to ever live but one of the best jazz soloists on any instrument. And he makes it look completely effortless!

@tomd3098 6 жыл бұрын

I agree. He looks so sort of... unassuming, sat there before he begins the piece. Then he starts playing and his facial expression and body language hardly change. It looks to come so easily to him, but of course nobody reaches that kind of level without an absurd amount of time, work, and effort.

People tend to refer to his technique as a three fingered technique. When he adds the thumb, it is not as unique, as it is mainly for hitting the e-string while playing chords on the bass. What truly is unique is his alternating three finger approach, which does help give him the virtuosic speed.

Because of his speed and great taste in playing, NHOP is a blast to listen to. Seeing him visually play makes his playing look that much more spectacular than listening to a recording.
