Here's a recording of a cover of Blood, Sweat & Tears' "More And More" from Jaco's stint with the soul/r&b band Tommy Strand & The Upper Hand, his first steady paying gig. It lasted for over a year before he joined Wayne Cochran's band in July of 1972. On this recording Jaco is using the black 1962 Fender Jazz Bass in the background photo of this clip, and is featured with a funky little break about halfway through the song. On another note, the recordings with Tommy Strand and Wayne Cochran in particular dispel the myth that Jaco got his trademark 16th note grooves from Tower of Power's bassist Rocco Prestia. They were contemporaries who developed their groove styles independent of one another. In fact, you can hear the seeds of it in Jaco's playing as far back as the late 60's. To sum it up, Jaco was NOT influenced by Rocco Prestia and has never been quoted as saying such in any interview I've come across. Case closed.
