    [quote name='bilbo230763' post='325977' date='Nov 10 2008, 03:15 PM']A good jazz musician is listening to everyone of the musicians he is performaing with at all times, something that is actually mentally very difficult to do.[/quote]

    Actually that should apply to ALL Musicians... :)

    [quote name='Clarky' post='325704' date='Nov 10 2008, 09:27 AM']I have two of my three basses in a stand next to my side of the bed and a typical Mr & Mrs Clarky evening ends up with me noodling in bed while she reads for a bit, falls asleep and eventually barks "Clarky turn the lights out zzzzzzzz". Romantic, eh?[/quote]

    So how did you manage 3 nippers...? :)

    [quote name='bilbo230763' post='324183' date='Nov 7 2008, 01:34 PM']I wonder who the most recorded bass player ever is/was? Will Lee has played with everyone but how many recordings has he done (genuine query - I know not)?[/quote]

    I like old Will.
    Funny enough i have been doing a bit of digging of late, regarding WL.
    And the name of Neil Stubenhaus keeps popping up.
    Christ he has played on tons of stuff. :huh:
    He does a stonking [ In the pocket :) ] groove on Quincy Jones version of 'Killer Joe'.

    I suppose its still alright to play it in D when the singer is singing in F or G..
    Yer f*%k it, who cares.. :)
    When you are having fun.

    Saturday Night Fever-who was the bassplayer

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by lowdown

    [quote name='wombatboter' post='316009' date='Oct 27 2008, 05:45 PM']I don't know if this is the right place to post this question but I watched a TV show on the BBC last saturday night when I came home from a gig.
    It was around midnight and it featured some artists unknown to me here in Belgium but they did songs from Saturday Night Fever with a big orchestra. Guests I did know were Robin Gibb and Sharleen Spiteri. The band was superb and they showed how complex the arrangements of these popsongs were..
    Does anyone know who the bassplayer was...already in his 40ties (fifties ?) but he played really well on a red Fender Precision. The bass-sound he had on "Jive Talkin'" was mindblowing and was the best "synth"bass-sound I have heard on an electric bass.
    I heard a really good version of "Disco Inferno" by an unknown singer (Christopher ?) but in fact everyone was good...Pity it was interrupted by Razorlight...
    So if anyone knows who the bassplayer was ?[/quote]

    Top player.
    It really amazes me that he does not seem to get much of a mention on this forum.
