    Chaka Khan - Who's the bassist?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Aint nobody, was a Rufas and Chaka Khan tune..not a solo CK tune.
    I'm Every Woman was also Rufas and Chaka..so would have been played by there
    Regular Bass player [ who ever that was..a Boogie Oogie Google should find him]

    When she left that band and went solo....
    Jimmy Haslip and Anthony Jackson did plenty of stuff with her.
    Jackson mainly The Studio stuff, and Haslip the Road stuff.
    So tis possible any live stuff from Chaka just after The Rufus Band stuff
    would be Jimmy Haslip.

    Kiwi...
    A small quote about Aint Nobody.

    'This was the last chart single for the group before lead singer Chaka Khan (born Yvette Stevens) left for a solo career. On this track, she sings about a man who makes her feel so good, that no other can come close.

    Producer Quincy Jones wanted this for Michael Jackson's Thriller album, and almost got it. Rufus keyboardist David Wolinski wrote the song. The group didn't like it but recorded it anyway. It was released as a single when Wolinski threatened to pull it off the album and give it to Jackson and Jones. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for all above)

    When Rufus was being formed, they rejected guitarist Roger Linn because he didn't sing, but this was one of the first songs ever written to the beat of Roger's invention - [b]the LM-1 Drum, the world's first programmable, sampled-sound drum machine. In this case the machine was used to create the keyboard loop. John Robinson played live drums and overdubbed the fills. [/b](thanks, Massimo - New York, NY, and Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England)'

    Audition Pieces..

    Donkeys years ago i went to Music collage in the states....
    And the advice i was given for the audition was..
    Try to show some Musicianship..
    Rather than just a Bass chops merchant with stick on ears.. :)
    [ And at the time i proberly was both :huh: ]
    Whatever you do try and make it sound musical.
    A chordal arrangement of a tune is usually good for that.
    Good luck, with whatever you do.
    I am sure it will be fine.

    If it's anything that could be described as "Jazz" or its kiddy-fiddling cousin "Fusion", then I'm setting fire to my face.[/quote]

    You might need to buy a Zippo on your way home.
    Good stuff though.

    [quote name='thepurpleblob' post='348960' date='Dec 8 2008, 07:42 PM']What's an NE worth do you recon? A bit of cash adjustment either way is perfectly possible. I don't see much more than 800 quid in the Yammie but it neither here nor there unless someone out there wants rid :) Just an idea, I'm just open to offers if someone can use a MM4[/quote]

    It depends on which model you are talking about.
    There are 2.
    The cheaper one comes in just under a grand.

    The dogs one around £1700.00.

    So if you are talking about the cheaper one...
