I've been in awe of Danny ever since I heard this back in the early '70s.

Surprised you didn't recommend this. It's woody by definition.😀 I'll get my coat

Joe Osborn’s entire career was based on playing a Jazz with flats (and a pick).

Wind-powered Rooster.

Took my daughter to see him at the Forum in London the other week for the last show of the tour. Just brilliant.

But what about the basses?

Gus Dudgeon's opinion of Dee says it all really at (6:25)

You could take a look at the Guy Pratt 'Betsy Bass' from the Bass Centre. https://www.basscentre.com/british-bass-masters/bbm-betsy.html

Also the Classic Album Series e.g.

Ariane Cap's book "Music Theory for the Bass Player" is excellent and comes with links to related online content. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Music-Theory-Bass-Player-Hands/dp/0996727604/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2NQVR0V3CYR1Y&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.6HYzjfmPf79XiznRE84T3Qa-73tfUIVRPJJD9_lhW4UvhO6TgcnmQp-RxzSq6x2ebK-EfuGr5Xaj9hlyGjiv3P-Rd7DfgJ5uFsuwjRcER7GEp88JNxPaowr6r-as4YHdb6ulvVxLDtsydyAWyjDXjakXJ1wlgXEQwgcehQU3eQMm9WqnkfdmR0EHqugpqSL22Rg_NyBPqttyIS9P3SMKZohcw4I8dybf_SJjLUMJyt0lL2hCo6-l7Df0h5CYigvOw25P0ytxThQJO0yXVok5kDhR5mGK1BobhlJFEXHEkag.mTBoYz2zRv-e2fDYNM_tObZqnFpG0W05C_e6i8TlyIw&dib_tag=se&keywords=ariane+cap&qid=1724767267&sprefix=ariane+cap%2Caps%2C85&sr=8-1

The footage from the Stax/Volt Revue in Norway in '67 is well worth chasing up (It's available on DVD). The director had obviously never heard of the 'keep the camera off the bassist' rule. Colourised sample of the concert on youtube as an example. I love the moment at the beginning when Dave Prater cracks Duck up.

In addition to "Standing in the Shadows.." you should also check out "Soul Fingers" which covers 'Duck' Dunn's life and has transcriptions of a variety of his bass lines. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Soul-Fingers-Legendary-Bassist-Donald/dp/1495052923/ref=sr_1_1?crid=32KAAT4DT15O5&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.6vKu8V2XOy75fg5LEVYdjyjbOO0LFp5dKQOpPTFpE_54tVz1dq3RttvHWeuwDb_GEGr4KcYNonMEzkBmaNqRWcD1OKw3J_TUWVvNJVjVXNSpOaS4mFTZRHSeDyNQ3zNjhnYOZbjPW79f_ojyqEi_QykKXv6qYfpF_7rHTPsJqnnCaRVZtz6HXHVQvj8ak4bvyBpp_saphS_GzxhEqR6C_5KxOpcHy-CZ9-qwmXM3MGw.0T2ZHP6XV-RL80gLIPzyYF3V2bKgB_5R3NNnON19eaI&dib_tag=se&keywords=duck+dunn&qid=1724670282&sprefix=duck+dunn%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-1
