She's certainly nailed that! I've heard her sing a few times, and she always amazes me with her vocal chops Terrific musician.

There is a great YouTube Channel, where most of the musicians are listed for a lot of the American TV themes. Just click on 'Show More' (below the video). https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7USgS7s7MTzOshd7xaPvNw/videos

Seeing as 'ITV' was just used as click bate, I will throw in a Bill Conti composed classic. Ray Pizzi on Alto and Ernie Watts on Tenor. As tight as two Saxes together can get! Plus: Dennis Budimir (guitar), Mike Lang (keyboards), Lee Sklar (bass), Steve Schaeffer (drums) and Emil Richards (percussion, tympani) . Trumpets: Jerry Hey & Gary Grant.

Not bad, considering it was co-written by a Bassist and a Drummer.

‘Who’s That Girl’. Madonna. The Eurythmics.

As you probably already know, composer ‘Barry Gray’ was responsible for the Thunderbirds March, along with most of the incidental music. He also collaborated with Gerry Anderson on nearly all the other series you mentioned, and a ton of adverts as well. Unusual for sessions at the time, Barry Gray kept a record of all the musicians on his Gerry Anderson recordings. A few well know names in there. http://www.barrygray.co.uk/BG/Musicians.html A lovely, little tribute below

Rich did an interview with Mo Foster for Basschat several years ago. An interesting read.

"One of Foster's most memorable bass lines was in the theme tune to the late-70s UK TV show 'Minder' starring Dennis Waterman. The tune, 'I Can Be So Good For You' started out life as a track on Waterman's solo album, it was then re-jigged as the show's theme tune. He achieved the atypical bass sound by using an unusual bass slap technique on an aluminium Kramer 650B bass guitar."

Shreddage 3 by Impact Soundworks. A pretty good Guitar lib for Kontakt (full version). The Demos sound great - They always do!! Enjoy. https://impactsoundworks.com/product/shreddage-3-stratus-free/ Some more of their freebies here. https://impactsoundworks.com/products/category/free-instruments/

Another Guitar album worth checking out.... Wes Montgomery, super cool swinging.

Ray Brown. So much recorded and live material out there, it's hard to know where to start. A master of feel, chops, phrasing and with a killer tone. Makes the Upright swing for fun.

I don't use it, so can't comment on it, but the free Cakewalk DAW by Bandlab is worth a look according to a couple of people on Basschat. Also seems to get the thumbs up on various music forums. https://www.bandlab.com/products/cakewalk

Sorry, I actually use the iPad version, but yes that was the link for the lite version (which can only read the HL CD's) More details below for the full version (it reads just about everything). You can get it for all the platforms. Some of the platforms you can use Spotify (subscription) Playlists as well. https://www.ronimusic.com http://www.ronimusic.com/slspcdtr.htm To be honest, Dads Audacity option above is free, and pretty simple. Actually, you should be able to do what you want in most DAW's. It's just the iPad/iPhone or Android versions of ASD make the whole thing more portable, especially if you are on the road, or away from where your Desk top DAW is located.

Dave Grusin and his Big Band got 'West Side Story', superbly!! - A terrific album. I am hoping there is a DVD released of the recent concert.

A decent App for slowing down the tempo has been just as useful for me. Something like the link below is worth considering (plenty of others out there). https://www.halleonard.com/ASD/

As far as I know, the Asio drivers do not support multiple interfaces working simultaneously on Windows (10). Probably (as mentioned above), your best bet is upgrading your interface. But before/if you do. Maybe checkout the link below. There are mixed results using the free ASIO4ALL drivers (read below). It will cost you nothing to try, so maybe worth a go? https://www.gearslutz.com/board/newbie-audio-engineering-production-question-zone/1043514-possible-use-2-audio-interfaces-1-pc.html

Been there, done it....

Great stuff... 👍

And there's more. Apart from being a CIA founder, in typical, KGB style spy dezinformatsiya, he claimed to have spent a week playing 4th Trumpet in 'The Glenn Miller Orchestra'.... But, this has been discredited....

You might be thinking of 'Aaron Copland', the great American composer? Stewart Copeland's dad, was a CIA officer, 'Miles Copeland'. Sorry, just a bit of pointless trivia...

Indeed. Steve Gadd, Vinnie Colaiuta , JR Robinson, Hal Blaine, James Gadson, Jeff Porcaro, just another bunch of session players.

She was a class act and wonderful musician, brimming with great, original ideas. Also surrounded by some terrific musicians. Just my opinion of course.

'Africa' works well for Acoustic Guitar & Choir. It also works well as modern Acappella (a cappella). You can also get some of the voices making percussion sounds.

Terrific musician and certainly worthy of the title, 'Bass Legend'. R.I.P
