John- I got in this time! Wanted to tell you I saw the Jaco Big Band in Florida and Peter Graves told about the first time he met Jaco, just after his time with Wayne Cochran so he's 19 or 20. He brings in the chart to "Domingo" for the audition. "The next sound you heard was everybody's jaw hitting the ground," Graves said. Now I had my earplugs in but I think what he said next was that Jaco composed the song on his daughter's toy piano! Jaco was married at 18 and a father at 19 so this is possible. It's another great story anyway!
