Essential Jaco: with Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell searched long and hard for a bass player that didn't exist... until Jaco. Jaco's orchestrated bass parts and lyrical quality brought a second voice to Joni's music.

Joni Mitchell - Hejira
Regarded by many to be the best Joni/Jaco collaboration, Hejira showcases Jaco's lyrical bass lines along the same lines as "Continuum" and Zawinul's "A Remark You Made".
