Three Views of a Secret - Richard Bona and Metropole Orkest 

One of the prettiest composions ever. Maybe THE. It's the best song I've ever heard I'm obsessed almost.

It's a piece that brings me peace, and I actually emoted when i heard the version with Jaco and Toots!

Thank you for this beautiful version of TVOS. Great musians playing Jaco's music. Miss him dearly.

Complete and Utter Justice to this beyond outstanding composition by a pure genius!

I can't say enough about how much I love this timeless masterpiece of Jaco's. This is the kind of music that emits magic throughout the universe. Somewhere out there Jaco is smiling over this amazing arrangement.

JACO FOREVER!!

One of my most favorite songs of all time! I had the honor and pleasure to have performed it on a number of occasions with Jaco and sometimes just as duo before the band came in! What and incredible composition and very nice arrangement Scott Ninmer, wow thank you!

Brilliant. Does justice to this timeless Jaco composition.

Great piece, beautifully played.👍🙂💚✌❤

Excellent arrangement- the harmonies are so clear and Bona's bass just soars over everything. Bravo!

a masterpiece with two exceptionnal musicians, Richard and Vince

Incredibly beautiful cover. Richard Bona is a bass wonder.

Thank you Scott for your thoughtful and beautiful arrangement of Jaco's masterpiece. I'm sure Jaco would approve some new little extra pieces and your approach and would be proud. And of course I thank all the musicians who performed beautifully. One of my beloved compositions ever. Feel happy everytime even when I took bass and simply play over the record sound some root notes.

One of the best songs EVER created. Brought forth to this Earth and made to come ALIVE!

I met RB at guitar center 14st Guitar Center. He had just bought a PC and was in his way out the door. He was kind enough to stop for a quick photo. The sales guys were like "who's that?" Legend! God bless him and his wonderful talent.

Makes so happy and sad, this like a tribute to Jaco, respect for richard!!!!!thanx

Wow jaco was my friend we use to play bass to bass together and go sit in with bands what a time the master of bona i have to hold back the tears stellar blessings

Fantastic arrangement!

Jaco lives, on and on and on.

My mums doesn’t like jazz but she loves this song. I think he wrote it for Ingrid, the Indonesian woman he eventually married

A privilege to hear again, no matter what the trolls say.

Beautiful Elegance is Infinite Eternal.,.pathways to divine sheres, this absolutely a wonderful work!!!!

It's sad that all 320 of us who liked this video (so far) are probably bass players. This great music should be enjoyed by all across the world

Love this tune, keep thinking what he was feeling / thinking about when he wrote it......its soo. beautiful

Lost in the music and don't wish to be,rescued.....Breathtaking,arrangement......RICARD BONA,#GENIUS....

Bravo!

OMFG ! I LUW Richard Bona ... He´s the ONLY dude , i heard , that REALLY embodies Jaco Pastorius SOUL, on his Bass - just WOW !

Beautiful- Richard's tone and touch are absolutely gorgeous!!

Never hear such a great self taught bass player. Félicitations Richard👌🏾👌🏾

Thank you lord, thank you Richard Bona and Metropole Orkest

The Genius of JACO !!!

Super! So many talents by Richard Bona. This guy is unique!

A master piece

Without salt and pepper. If you play jaco. You have to play with your heart.

Ez egy csodálatos dallam ! A zeneirodalom csöppnyi,de nélkülözhetetlen része !

One has to think Jaco would be doing one of those Jaco smiles

Makes you want to keep living!

Great memories and a stellar arrangement!

Arranging work is fantastic! I Love the theme return @ 6:07. There are so many beautiful touches you have to listen closely for! Brilliant

What happens from 1:41 to 1:50 (bones, flugels and horns) is just harmonic genius! Brilliant! 3:12 to 3:20 also magic.

Essa música mexe muito comigo... É a minha preferida do meu músico preferido!

Farò forse un commento impopolare ma questa interpretazione di "Three Views of a Secret" non la trovo particolarmente esaltante! Bona è uno straordinario bassista, grande, davvero grande… ma mi sarei aspettato qualcosa in più.. Il brano è una magnifica composizione di Jaco, forse la più bella, la più profonda, è merita.. forse con qualche in nota in meno.. ed un po' di "poesia" in più..

Vers good vibes

Bona is quite simply the perfect embodiment of the musical syncretism that is the port city of Douala, a crossroads of the most varied musical influences: makossa, soukousse, salsa, jazz fusion, R&B, Flamenco With models inspired by local (Manu Dibango, Francis Bebey, Medjo Messon, Jeannot Karl...) and international (Jaco Pasterius, Stanley Clark...)

The great Richard Bona doesn't seems too comfortable playing with the orchestra. Light applause!. Shame he didn't arrange any line with his wonderful voice.-

me hizo lagrimear

Jaco never left a verse alone , different even than this player

This is delicious!

Yea

3:44 ✊

🎧🎧🎧🎧

😉💙🌱🌲

Now these cats can play !!!

Double bassist's name? Kersttetor????

Love the piece... still prefer the original intense melodic sobriety from Jaco.

great cover! but some comments said Bona's solo is just too much. thought it is started at 3:45. it s pretty decent and beautiful before that marked time

ピーターアースキンあたりが誘ってベースソロ中心のアルバム出さないかなぁ

I love, love, love Jaco,love this song, and don't doubt that Richard Bona is a gifted player, but the thing that ruins it for me with him every time is, all the atonal, hyper-noodling that he does. To have the opportunity to play 'Bright Size Life' with Pat Metheney, or 'Three Views ' with a full orchestra, are amazing(read:AMAZING) opportunities, but it would just mean so much more if he played it straight, & interjected little bits to enhance the tune- Jaco had a great ability to do that, & lay out where it was necessary, but on this one, after about 3:15, it's just a chops explosion, which is a turn off for me....

Bona's solo is not too much, it basically has nothing to do with the piece

3:20 why ALWAYS this lick. ALWAYS!!! Totally out of context. Doesn't fit one bit. Every solo. Richard is an awesome bassist tho but his solos are tasteless to me. No comparison to the GOAT Jaco.

che sound

Beautiful arrangement But i prefer Peter Erskine on drums !!

Lovely arrangement, one of the best Jaco compositions! Great musicians, and Richard Bona is really a master... BUT... well... this time he was REALLY TERRIBLE in his improvised solo... a bunch of random fast notes, not a single melody... seems like he's soloing over a completely different tune! No... this piece is pure melody... you must stick with a melody soloing, not a bebop-hero-like solo... sorry.

Bona has nowhere near the soloing sentiment of Jaco. Most of it is just fast showboating that doesn't touch the soul at all, and is frankly inappropriate for the piece. He played the melody and bassline nicely at least.

Very talented musicians. Bona is one of the best Bass Player. But, they totally chopped the crap out of the original. Too much noodling around, terrible.

Bof !
