[quote name='Doddy' timestamp='1317248290' post='1388766'] Rick Laird was a great straight ahead jazz player on upright before he joined Mahavishnu Orchestra. [/quote] He was.... A young RL back in the 60's with Victor Feldman. Great how he listens to everything going on around him. Nice solo also.

[quote name='chardbass' timestamp='1318725966' post='1405670'] Scritti Politti [/quote] Great band, even had Mr Miller & Miles Davies [Oh Patti] playing on a couple of tracks. Really nice tunes. A Bassist called Graham Edwards also did his bit with Go West live . [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mMoeWkDhqA[/media] Garry

[quote name='iconic' timestamp='1318606042' post='1404302'] I always call them Tapeworms! [/quote] I think that must come under........... [b] " [size=5]Irritating terms that non-musos use..."[/size][/b] Garry

Another two who rarely get a mention, Victor Bailey & Neil Stubenhaus. Both done plenty, Particularly Neil Stubenhaus who's credit list is very impressive. Edit - Tim landers as well. Garry

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1318422279' post='1401891'] Garry, hope you didn't get the wrong end of the stick by my referencing you wasn't in a negative way! I personally can't recall seeing too much about him on here up until now so well worth getting a thread going [/quote] No Mate - not a problem. I did not word it very well.... And i am glad you got the post going, people have been posting some good read ups above. Garry

[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

Camel Crusher free. [url="http://www.camelaudio.com/camelcrusher.php"]http://www.camelaudio.com/camelcrusher.php[/url] Alchemy player free, with one gig of sounds. [url="http://www.camelaudio.com/AlchemyPlayer.php"]http://www.camelaudio.com/AlchemyPlayer.php[/url] Both are excellent. Enjoy 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
