Also a great article here on who I think is in the top 5 for sure Marcus Miller

Thanks for the links. I haven't yet heard those cds yet, but I wil look for them. I just have some of the older stuff: jaco's solo cds, some weather report stuff, a metheny cd, and Joni Mitchells herjeira too. The guy could really write well, his soloing is fantastic, but damn the guy could really pen a song. I also liked the marcus article, thanks for that. That guy is also monster on bass. I'm pretty sure I have a recording of his with him doing teen town and it was sick. I think I have it on cassette though , I really should pay a visit to FYE...
