[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1413623971' post='2580212'] That's the sort of thing I'm on about, saying it's in C would have been better! [/quote] And even then, they might have meant C minor.

Bilbo is right (but as he said - much of the time). Key changes could put a spanner in the works (although there seems to be little of that these days ). 'Mack the Knife' would leave you dazed and confused.

Yep, very annoying. Although I remember the days on busking gigs when bandleaders just gave fingers for keys. One finger up for 'G', three fingers up for 'A', two fingers down for 'Bb'...etc... I still come across it on occasional Jazz gigs with older gentlemen. After the final tune you just hope that you don't get 'two fingers up' aimed in your direction...

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1413559452' post='2579600'] Chuffin heck! I genuinely( and honestly) went to bed last night thinking I bet he chooses Neil Stubenhaus in the morning and you did! I know it sounds trite to say that after the reveal, but I reckon I must have a 6th sense!! Scary or what? Now if only I could do the same with the Lotto..... [/quote] Blimey! that's pretty impressive......And spooky.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1413558723' post='2579583'] I think that might be the shock of finding out it's not a dog [/quote] Sorry..... Just had to have a titter to myself there.

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1413545661' post='2579349'] OK then, here's a Brazilian Shorthair after having received mentioned Close Shave. Dunno why you need pics of it, but there you are. [url="http://s1170.photobucket.com/user/basstractor1/media/Brazilianshorthairaftercloseshave_zpsaff680b6.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote] Good grief!, I wished I never arsed.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1413543942' post='2579304'] hope you aren't laughing at my album collection [/quote] Well, I was actually, pretty much the same as mine.

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1413528665' post='2579102'] Brazilian eh? Sounds like she had a close shave... [/quote] You don't get away with that, that easily. Pictures needed.

Yep, Neil Stubenhaus. As well as all the adverts, TV and Film scores, his album credits list is pretty impressive. One of the real Studio masters. [url="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/neil-stubenhaus-mn0000379683/credits"]http://www.allmusic....0379683/credits[/url] Take it away JT.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1413541649' post='2579268'] Abe Laboriel [/quote] No mate, although might of been on some of these albums as well. A lot of the guys like AL and others, tended to appear on the same albums.

Here we go. This player has played on hundreds of albums and is still going strong. A selection of 80's sessions. [b][u]Album [/u] [u]Artist [/u][/b] 20/20 - George Benson Emotion - Barbra Streisand Bad Girls - Donna Summer Mr. 335 Live in Japan - Larry Carlton Breakin' Away - Al Jarreau Bodies and Souls - Manhattan Transfer L.A.

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1413483763' post='2578799'] You are correct but there was no intention to mislead on my part.... [/quote] No, I know mate. Their was an article I was reading a few months back, talking about the two players and their envolvements with various bands/albums over the years. The Dianne Birch album I did not know about. I will do a player in the morning, just on my way out.

Sounds a bit of a trick question Yorks. Two Bassists, (and both producers) worked on the first two albums I think. So I will go with Nick Movshon. (I think I have spelled it right) I won't name the other one in case I am wrong.

Voted Gonzo. Good luck with it.

Looking forward to this.

So some folks are taking 2 Basses and a toilet to the gig?

I used to slum it with Bernie on function gigs. He don't seem to get any older....lol..

Seen the series before (three episodes I think), great watch and listen. The podcast series (posted above) is also a great listen.

I suppose I have spent far to many years in pits with classical horn players and their smutty humour. Jest.

[quote name='Leonard Smalls' timestamp='1412527506' post='2569603'] I got inspired (arguably!) and with some crazy 'boning by a local jazzist [/quote] IBTL.

Good work.

I remember seeing this the first time around (and liked it). I think his harmony approach to his composing is great, and not tied to any 'western ear' progressions. Although I think it sounds like it was written on (or for) Halloween night. Great stuff.

Well done Bilbo, you had my vote. Good stuff everyone, and an enjoyable listen to the tracks.

Really good mix Skol. Nice and driving.
