Check pickup height . If the clearance is too small it can produce a sound a bit like a chorus effect .

Keter Betts ( bass ) both albums :

Also Red Mitchell with Joe Pass and Red Mitchell with Jim Hall

Couple from '76

.... which reminds me of another wordsmith with genius who sought out jazzers . There is a line in Dury's " Sex And Drugs And Rock And Roll " that goes : " See my tailor , he's called Simon , I know its going to fit " which implies the value of trust . Here is a bass player speaking about Gil Scott-Heron : ( 15:30 )

43:00 School kid asks him how he got involved with a group ( band ) . He replies ; " I was teaching ( art ) and I got some mates who were musicians , all Jazz musicians , which means they got open minds to me , right .... " Legend .😎

This One’s For Blanton ! - Duke Ellington and Ray Brown 1972 Two Masters in the studio giving each other space .

See if a new battery makes any difference .

Short form , so they repeat the head . Wes takes the first short solo , hands over to George who repeats Wes's last phrase and develops it . The famous example at 3:00 : And here is someone who might have some credibility here ( or not ) Great thread idea , Bilbo .

Just curious about the samples being in the wrong key . Was it just a case of samples recorded at a sample rate of 44.1 Hz being played back on a device set to 48Hz ( or vice versa ) which would make them sound about a semitone out , maybe ? Do they have to be destroyed after the gig ?

Count Basie Orchestra . I was a reading 12 yr old drummer fascinated by the phrasing with the brass and the dynamics . Professor Longhair . 17 , had taught myself Hammond in order to actually hear the harmony part of music A level that I understood on paper but not aurally , but here was one man creating those polyrhythms that I loved with the dynamics you can't get on organ . John Martyn and Danny Thompson . One upright bass fulfilling the role of a rhythm section .Fascinating .

Only the very poor and the very rich really know that money can't buy happiness . Here on this little rock our Wealthy Immigrants include : Bryan Adams . Has to drive round with blacked out windows . Gilbert O'Sullivan . Walks his dog in the lanes , walks to Church , but gets recognised . Jack Casady . Early riser , likes to walk or cycle the cliff paths alone . Unrecognised . Seems to me that of the three , the bass playing one has the best options .

That is jazzers for you . They get together for the joy of play . A swinging rhythm section is more valuable than note choice " mistakes " . Good jazzers will welcome those note choices and play off them , they know that the bass player is the person behind the wheel of the bus and are grateful for a driver who takes them anywhere . Jazz = PLAY

41:05 In this 2013 interview Ron explains that for the previous 6 years he only uses his own bass for local gigs . If he has to fly he hires a " bass du jour " and " my job is to make it sound like its not a stranger to me " . Regular pianists have no choice .

With a pole screwed where the neck should be it could make : a Lollipop for helping people across the road or a coat stand for one coat belonging to someone with round shoulders .

You know the octave scale run up in " Maybe I'm Amazed " ? I guess a left-handed person writing on a piano would come up with that .

Its me : Dave !

Harry Babasin tuned his cello to fourths for the 1947 recording . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Babasin Details of the tracks on the album best found on a customer review on Amazon ! https://www.amazon.com/Dodos-Bounce-Dodo-Marmarosa/product-reviews/B002A3NEEY/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_show_all_btm?ie=UTF8&reviewerType=all_reviews

Solo at 42:40 DB or 'cello ?

With a shortage of local bass players why bother with a drummer that can’t keep time ?

Classic Andy Fraser lines .

And Monk solo , making you think that the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing but he never loses the form . Genius : ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interview with drummer Frankie Dunlop about Monk the Teacher : I have noticed a lot of bands fail to make Li'l Darlin' swing like the Basie Band . Motorcycle trials riders tend to be better at motocross than motorcrossers are at trials .

Finley Quaye - It's Great When We're Together

I have no idea where it is , sorry .
