  1. For anyone who uses the free 'Valhalla Supermassive' Reverb/Delay VST, it has just been updated to version 4. Valhalla Super Massive - Valhalla DSP
  2. Ray Brown creating on the spot during Quincy Jones' production of 'Killer Joe'.
  3. The bouncy groove and rich tone on 'Everything You Want' (01:46:47) is great!
  4. Yes, that's a great album... If I remember right, Chuck Rainey plays electric on one track as well, 'Love and Piece'? Some top, top players (and singers) on that album. Walking in Space - Quincy Jones
  5. A great album. Interestingly, Lalo Schifrin is the Piano player on that album. Also, a 'Taste of Honey' was only available on selected releases of the album.
  6. I've been having a Quincy day today. I think I'm gonna need a bigger day: Neil Stubenhaus on Bass...
  7. Everything? Your opinion, of course. But that's a huge claim, considering the colossal amount of composing, writing, arranging and producing he accomplished over seven decades. I can think of one track in this very thread where there isn't a Violin or Viola in ear shot.
  8. He did some excellent film work as well. Scores like 'The Anderson Tapes', 'In the Heat of The Night' and 'They Call Me Mister Tibbs' come to mind. Films scored by Quincy Jones - And of course, numerous TV work including this classic:
  9. Bobby Lyle with Nathaniel Phillips on Bass:
  10. No, I avoided the dreaded Poker games, although our MD got caught out a couple of times. But I did end up at a Steak eating contest in a pub in Brixham. The pub governor hosted the event to raise money for charity. Chas, Dave and Mickey had to eat as much Steak as they could manage. I can't remember the rules, but of course, it turned into an afterhours drinking competition that moved into a side room of the pub. This included the governor as well, along with me and the other musicians I was working with. It was quite a boozy late one. The next day, we found out someone had broken into the pub and emptied out a till without anyone noticing. The governor hadn't cashed up.
  11. Yeah, probably not everyone's cup of tea, and I should have stated, 'hold my attention'. It's a shame really, because the Cadenza/ending at 07:37 is pretty spectacular.
  12. In the mid 90's, I was working for the main turn on a show through the summer months down in Torquay. Chas, Dave and Mickey (The Drummer) were on the bill as well. I had a fantastic time socialising with them all after the shows, but lordy, they could drink for England. Dave was a very fine musician, a real gentleman and a proper laugh. I also got to play his Precision Bass a few times. On top of that, we also had first hand tuition on how to sing that tongue twisting 'Rabbit' song. Especially the yapping bit at the end...lol.
