  Personally I prefer DJ Food's use.
  Go on, rant at me about the theft of art... O:)

  Thanks for those Dave.
  But I'm still struggling with Mr. Pastorius...
  Be assured, I have ordered one of your previous recommendations. I promise to open my mind really really wide when it arrives.
  
  In the meantime this...

  And..
  
  Kool & The Gang – Jungle Boogie
  
  I don't usually like (bass) riff playing in unison. But that one works for some reason.

  Each to his own, Ben.

  
  

  To me, he could hardly play anything that didn't have a massive groove to it. He was brought up on R&B, and that feel often comes through.

  
  

  I think the other trick is to forget he's doing amazing things with a Fender Bass, and just listen to what he's doing within the music.

  Is that Cecil McBee playing electric? It's a great bassline.

  
  

  I struggle with the vocals and strings during this period. My problem, I know.
