[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1410359840' post='2548537'] Do people simply wade in with obscure choices on the hope that no one else knows their choice. [/quote] Apart from that Solo album by the Scandinavian Swedish Chef mentioned earlier, there will always be 'someone' who knows the album offered up. Some might take weeks, but we will get there in the end. Part of the fun.....innit bruv.

I think you are talking about punters, certainly most musicians I was working with wouldn't have classed the above as Jazz. Maybe, Groove, Funk Jazz, Jazz Funk, Fusion etc, and even the dreaded 'Smooth Jazz' term was starting to creep in. Dave Grusin, Lee Ritenour, Grover Washington etc top of the list with that. All (most) of the above (and many others of course) had some kind of Jazz back ground. I was certainly scrambling up to Ronnies when those artists were turning up. It was interesting times with top players performing.

[quote name='toneknob' timestamp='1410290685' post='2547943'] On the nose. Take it away. [/quote] Off we go then........ 1. Punta Del Soul 2. Southwest Passage 3. First - Time Love 4. Western Women 5. Dancing in the Township 6. Old Bones 7. In the Middle of the Night 8. T.K.O. 9. Polina

[quote name='toneknob' timestamp='1410287636' post='2547896'] Here's an easier one, more bass-centric this time. 1. *title track* 2. Back in the Beginning 3. Beard in the Letterbox 4. The Drowning Dream 5. The Sad Velvet Breath of Summer and Winter 6. Saday, Maday 7. Liver and Lungs 8. Bones of Mud [/quote] Bestial Cluster - Mick Karn Bones of Mud and Velvet Breath, great tracks

Leaning more towards Jazz, but 'Morrissey-Mullen Band' were big on the pub scene, along with 'Paz' who were more Latin based. Heard them both play many times, always with a great selection of players. http://youtu.be/ahZXC8loOfA http://youtu.be/rLR-TrSGUF4

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1410201554' post='2547105'] Yes, one of the best and really active on the London scene back then. Early 70s Gonzalez (before they went 'disco') where a great live band which i was fortunate to see many times. [/quote] Yep, and also a bit of a team with drummer Glen Le Flur for a while. Remember seeing the early Gonzalez a couple of times as well.

Keys/Piano have always been my go to for transcribing, just found it opened up my ears, and was easier for picking out stuff. I have been playing as long as I have been Bass, just went hand in hand for me. BB5, If you can grab the dots for "On Golden Pond", Dave Grusin, do so. It's an art in melody, feel and emotion. It can be a bit of a handful, but with some work brings a real smile to your face. You have to make your own bird noises. http://youtu.be/Qml75qpmpSs

Delisle Harper back in the 70's was a great player. Olympic Runners, Gonzalez and Freddie King plus a lot of session work. Still knocking around I believe. http://www.allmusic.com/artist/delisle-harper-mn0000052841/credits

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1410039633' post='2545650'] They always turn out the same The last similar thread was about a month ago. [/quote] Yep, Round & Round with NO Coda.

[quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1409937506' post='2544863'] Thanks for this Garry. Even more tempting goodies for my iPad. [/quote] Yep, tell me about it... Just downloaded Cubasis today. It's great, you can transfer Cubasis files over to a Cubase. When does it ever end?

Yep, very sad. Good player. Isn't that second Bass player to die who played in the CR band?

For those interested, a good 10 part series on all things recording related with the iPad. Enjoy. http://www.musicappblog.com/category/ipad-recording-studio-series/

Does this include dotted 8th's/swing 8th's/shuffle 8th's? Because there are a few classics out there.

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1409741028' post='2542788'] I know what I [i]want[/i] to do but will need to find some other musicians to make it happen as I cannot play any of the instruments involved to the required level. Mmmmm? [/quote] What's yer budget? Cash, or cheque in the post? Or a promise of more work?

Never mind Specsavers, I'm off to Brainsavers......lol....

Washing line clothes pegs?

Great stuff Skol and well done mate. Very well put together. Interesting listen yesterday, and some good ideas. I was truly stuck between Bilbo and Skol. My usual criteria for voting went out the window this month, (Connection of music and picture). Bilbo just got my vote in the end, I liked the motifs/themes. (I'm kinda old skool/old git in that respect). Top job everyone.

As Chris above said (but on occasions he has used Jazz Basses of various makes). http://youtu.be/hjattaeaekI

Kate Bush was always doing something different, part (A lot) of the appeal for me. A very creative musician with good ideas always looking for something fresh, and I am glad that 30 odd years later she still operates in the same way.

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1408903242' post='2534485'] Need to meet some people and get noisey again [/quote] You should do well with the noise thing (apparently), or so Sir Thomas Beecham reckons. "The English May not like music, but they absolutely love the noise it makes".... Lol.....

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1408825337' post='2533895'] I have this IT problem where the mix I finish in Cubase doesn't transfer in it's entirety when I do an audio mix. Some does but not all of it. So what you hear is an approximation of my mix �� [/quote] If you are using Cubase (not sure what version you have) why not freeze the VSTi tracks? This will leave you with an audio track (Disengaging the Vsti from use - no CPU hit), Then if you need to edit the original Midi track just un-freeze. You can use dozens of tracks without a CPU hit. Again, not sure what version of Cubase you have, but if it is a full version there is no need to write in Sibelius then export the Midi file. Cubase has it's own score editor (and it is excellent}. Any adjustments are directly related to the PRV, that way you are using your sounds (Miroslav?) and not the Sibelius sounds. So what you write is what you hear, including the various articulations. If you have 1/2 an hour, a good video using articulations and the score editor in Cubase. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPYGykRrwaU

Playing Chic basslines, over playing, bad timing? That's all down to professional experience/attitude. They clearly didn't have any. No wonder they did not ask you for the gear use or indeed to say thank you.
