[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1318367985' post='1401352'] Following the Forgotten Bass Players thread and Lowdown's comment, [/quote] And i did say " Is he really forgotten" [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0XAI-PFQcA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0XAI-PFQcA[/url] Garry

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1318371540' post='1401424'] Cogbill has been discussed here. I think plenty of us have heard of him and more. [/quote] I know he has been discussed here, and plenty have heard of him and more. Hence, my original post was, had he really been forgotten ? just curious really. Garry

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1318366440' post='1401316'] The OP was refering to the amount of discussion bass players receive on BC and as such Tommy Cogbill gets very little. I wouldn't have thought he would have made many Bass Player Top 20's either side of the Atlantic though I'd be delighted to be proved wrong! [/quote] Ah...... Could be they have not heard of him, and I suppose if they ain't heard of him - they can't really forget him then..... Garry

Its worth checking out some of the better Library and production companies around. I had a track picked up for a European TV promo for 'Supernatural' not so long back. Some of the Lib & Production companies are big business these days. Garry

Are the likes of Eddie Gomez, Tommy Cogbill and Roscoe Beck really forgotten? I suppose maybe in the UK. Garry

[quote name='louisthebass' timestamp='1318328599' post='1400526'] You're right there Garry, I know he's a bit of a jazzer & he does a bit of work with Capercaille (sp?). Has any mag ever done a decent interview with him? [/quote] Louis, I think somewhere back there was an interview with him in one of the Bass mags. Jazz, rock, funk, the whole lot. He is such a rounded player. A few years back he picked up the Double bass in a couple of weeks, and was up & gigging.... One player that slipped under the radar. Garry

[quote name='louisthebass' timestamp='1318322052' post='1400380'] Ewan Vernal - Deacon Blue [/quote] There's a lot more to Ewan than Deacon Blue. Terrific player. Garry

[quote name='Pete Academy' timestamp='1318171072' post='1398757'] As far as I know, there is only Jamiroquai and Beyonce that take a large band on tour to recreate that sound. I may be wrong, though. Correct me? EWF are without doubt the greatest ever. [/quote] Don't forget Tower Of Power,,,,,, Garry

X64 Fx [free] are hard to come by, But some nice little ones here, and are working great. Enjoy. [url="http://www.eareckon.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=64&Itemid=73&lang=en"]http://www.eareckon.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=64&Itemid=73&lang=en[/url] Garry

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1318032360' post='1397558'] why is there no music like this any more..????????!!!!!!!! [/quote] Along with Mirror balls and Dancing around handbags. Great band. Garry

[quote name='bass_by_name' timestamp='1318026495' post='1397523'] She is OK but does not belong in the same thread as Amy Winehouse. IMO obviously. [/quote] You have turned up at the wrong gig mate...... Garry

"Ron Carter meets Bach" Though i think Bach might have regretted meeting Ron Carter after hearing it. Not one of RC's finest - and i like Ron Carter. Garry

[quote name='risingson' timestamp='1317941107' post='1396625'] My mind was totally blown the first time I saw that, Anthony Jackson didn't drop a note. [/quote] Yep, fantastic skill for sure from AJ - I am also knocked out with the whole arrangement on that tune...superb all round. Garry

Great steady playing all round, great writing, great harmony arranging, [The above SD Vids ] Charts or no charts won't really take away from that, or make a jot of difference with the quality of those guys. [Michel Camilo - New York Band, [b]with charts[/b] "Not Yet" comes to mind] If visuals are your thing along with the Music, SD are never going to do it, and never have. I went to a Berliner Philharmoniker concert a few months back - never crossed my mind that they were using charts, Or indeed if it was losing energy because of the charts. Just been listening to 'AJA' again - Wey Hey, Top stuff. Of course, each to their own. Garry

[quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1317800019' post='1394610'] Anyone know 'Life is just a bowl of cherries' in 5/4 time? [/quote] Whooooosh..!! Garry

Good voice, decent songs and entertains great. Killer band on that Video. Garry

100 BPM is not that fast, so 123{4} through the pick up bar would be the norm and you in at the second bar. After playing the chart a few times, its quite possible the MD/conductor would just give a down beat on 3 to who ever Is playing that pick up line. Garry

Not sure who that is in the Picture. Possibly Paul Westwood did some Bass with them at some point. Garry

[quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1317469202' post='1390991'] Ex pat clubs are fine in small doses but a little incestuous and can be a bit bitchy. [/quote] True..... Sounds like yer average gigging band. Garry

If you have a Twitter account, use Soundcloud to tweet and promote Basschat.... Garry

I have been to the UAE/Bahrain quite a few times, everything from one night to Six months. And the one thing to do if you are there for a long period, is seek out the Expats and their clubs. Drinking is cheaper, and you will get invited to parties, BBQ's, water sports etc. Just hanging around the hotels becomes boring however nice they are. Get out and see things, its a great place.Fantastic food. Normally all paperwork & permits will be sorted by Agents/fixers/ or the Hotel, otherwise you will not even get into the country. I hope it comes off, and enjoy. Garry
