I always thought Jaco influenced Tom as well, until I
read this interview:
http://www.ink19.com/issues/september2001/inkSpots/squarepusher.html
"When I hear some of your more bass-oriented music, I
hear a lot of Jaco Pastorius.
It's weird with the Jaco thing, because I'd never
heard his stuff, and I was doing this thing where I
thought I was inventing a style. And lo and behold,
Jaco had already done it, it was already there. That
blew my head off, when I first heard him...."
I'm a huge fan of both, and at times it almost seems
like Tom is channeling Jaco. Too bad they'll never
collaborate (in this world).

Miles probably started it all - "Bitches Brew",
"Agharta" and other 70s albums, then Weather Report
(who in their own right would be worthy of discussion
on this list b/c of Jaco's influence on Tom
Jenkinson), Mahavishnu Orchestra ... all those
followed in the 80s by Chick Corea's Electric Band,
Allan Holdsworth, and a truckload others. Nowadays,
Fusion has become synonymous with boring muzak-style
music by virtuoso players who somehow have no taste
(not just my opinion). Anyway, I think Braindance is
a wicked term for this kind of musick they call IDM
around here.? :-) Just listening to Black Dog's Bytes
- what a wonderful record - you can still hear traces
of the 80s in it I think
I think this message board rules! good fun to post and
read here....
