  1. Interesting . This is maybe worth hearing the once for the arrangement :-
  2. Ears. It is no coincidence that many Producers are/were bassists .
  3. Herbie Hancock's reworking of his own tune " Watermelon Man " featured a Pygmy whistle made from a papaya stem .
  4. I preferred their early albums .
  5. Mickey Hart ( of the Grateful Dead ) 's book " Drumming at the Edge of Magic " gets good reviews .
  6. Rodgers & Hart - " Lover " -from the 1932 film " Love Me Tonight " , because it is the last track on Dodo Marmarosa's album which I played this morning , where the tune is retitled as " Cosmo Street ". The 1947 recording ( album title " Dodo Marmarosa " ) was the first to feature jazz 'cello by bassist Harry Babasin . A catchy choon . Pizz cello solo at 2:17
  7. Nikki Bacharach ( daughter of Burt ) didn't like loud . Neither do I .( Aspie with chromesthesia )
  8. Did you try ukqueries(at)fender.com ?
  9. Just remembered playing my Rhodes solo at a birthday party in a marquee when a group of uninvited surfers appeared and let all the ropes down so it collapsed into the centre . I had to crawl out . Afterwards people would remark how my singing had really brought the house down !
  10. I wouldn't be confused or dazed if JPJ played it with his feet before getting a bass at 14 .
  11. Dido's Lament , from Henry Purcell's opera Dido And Aeneas Hit the charts in 1689 Edited to add : - Or any Lament Bass . Wikipedia has a list of more examples https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lament_bass
  12. This teacher agrees with the OP ranty part .
  13. If the venue serves food send the most amiable band member to make friends with the chef .😉
  14. George Shearing turned " Mack The Knife " from an uptempo swing tune to a haunting ballad in the relative minor .
  15. Seek Rene Garcia Fons - Berimbass on YT and count to five .
  16. Indeed, and you don’t need a full DAW , just a standalone piano VST .
  17. Not to mention Dizzy Gillespie sounding like no-one else ( 4:12 ) on that version . 👍
