16th-note funk: When you want a drummer, but then discover you don't need one.

[MikeGuerr]

The first bassist I ever heard play 16th note funk was Rocco Prestia. I can’t recall if it was You Got To Funkifize or What Is Hip, either way he really got my attention!

[yairsharon]

there are times where i pick up the bass and play nothing but this line for like 20 minutes. you just get lost in it.

[TheRainmanBachelor]

Jerry Jemmott was the birth of this. Jaco threw rocket fuel on it.

[tylerthompson]

Even Scott’s putting more space after that first bit where Jaco’s still running ghost 16ths

[d.l.loonabide]

Remember, before there was Jaco... there was Rocco.

[pneumatic]

There are some very early hints of this style of bass line on Darling Dear...James Jamerson Jackson five.

[bogdank]

7/14/23 James Rocco Prestia, TOP Sounded like that 1968. I was at U. Miami w Jaco 1973, on. No question TOP influence.

[chriskarley]

The Joni Mitchell albums that Jaco played on are amazing!!!🤯

[bo-banski]

james gang’s funk 49 is where i first heard it. (i’m not that old tho lol) memorizing that line was hell and a half 😮‍💨. what song are they playing in the video?

[williamlowe]

Jaco is all that but Rocco Prestia was bumping 16th note grooves since 1968

[Chuckles..]

When I was a teenager in the 70s I was a prog rock fan but I listened to Jaco's solo record till the record wore out.

[HizzletheCizzle]

for me it was "Kuru/Speak like a child"

[cDTeVe]

... I could understand that you hadn’t heard “What Do I Have to Do “ Marva Whitney... but I’m sure you heard Francis Rocco Prestia Tower Of Power bassist!!! and Paul Jackson Headhunters bassist... both played & recorded 16th note funk grooves before
Mr. Pastorius...

[chrissalinas]

bass player from tower of power was the first I heard play 16th notes riffs

[brianhuggins]

Leave it up to Jaco... Just like the Godfather of fusion, punk -funk....
There are great out there no doubt...
But he was one step ahead....
And for any of us fans and bass players alike, that got a chance to see either Weather report or Jaco...live..
Really got a treat....

Then put it on your bucket list to check out Jaco's son....
Oh yes...

[madhatter]

I had this Jaco book and CD but didn’t know how to read😢

[crimping]

Video Idea. Why do bass strings always rattle?

[KidAndersen]

The answer is right in front of you. It is Jerry Jemmott who is the father of 16th note funk bass.

[nonombre]

But he got it from Rocco Prestia in Tower of Power. That's all Rocco did.
