dougal Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Anyone else seen this? It's Contrabass conversations Gary Carr interview w/ video. The last 20 mins is him playing around on his bass. Fantastic stuff! Full screen version is here: [url="http://blip.tv/file/1089416/"]http://blip.tv/file/1089416/[/url] I can't work out how to embed the video.

Kiwi Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I've had email conversations with him in the distant past. He's very very approachable and extremely gracious, I think this guy is a living treasure - and I don't even play double bass. He's lost a bit of weight since I last saw pics of him too.

Kiwi Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 and he says in the vid that he practices with a metronome. I'd love to get him and Jeff Berlin in a room together to debate this. I have a feeling Jeff wouldn't have a leg to stand on given Gary Karr's pedigree. Gary even says he wants "he loved slow" on his gravestone (72:18)! LOL Showdown!

pete.young Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I saw Gary Karr play when I lived in Whitehaven, probably 20 years ago. What a fabulous player and thoroughly nice chap too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
