A video from a post over at VI control. Orchestrating Video Game Music (a very enjoyable watch too...)

In my opinion that OP video is just drivel. Why is 'Imagine' the worst song Lennon ever wrote? Just curious really. I think it's a decent tune, although I prefer performances by a couple of others who have recorded it.

I use two. One weighted Keyboard for playing keyboard parts in (VSTI's) - A Yamaha P71 (88). I also have a Nektar Panorama P4, which I use for all my parameter/automation controlling, along with CC#'s etc on Virtual Instruments. The pads are also good for Percussion & Drums etc. All my Orchestral Instrument parts are played in with this as well. It's semi weighted, but I prefer it for the Single line Instruments.

👍

I think I read somewhere that Joe Sample might have played on that album. Tom Scott and Joe Sample used to work together along with Max Bennett before LA Express. So possibly, Max Bennett? Why not send Tom Scott an Email? https://www.tomscottmusic.com/contact-us

My favourite at the moment is 'Caribe' from the Michel Camilo Big Band. Anthony Jackson in total control.

Maybe a trip to 'The Den' as well.

As lownote12 said, plenty of great Ethnic restaurants about, but why not try some proper ‘Pie & Mash’... https://www.timeout.com/london/restaurants/londons-best-pie-and-mash-shops And then maybe, Ronnie Scott’s? One of my favourite places in town. https://www.ronniescotts.co.uk/scheduledaily/2018/October/6

Below is a great live version. All written out, including the intro and solo. There are some other tracks as well from Marcus on the PDF. (Not mine, downloaded from Linkedln). 'Run For Cover ' starts at PDF page 23. marcusmillervol1-150824153613-lva1-app6891.pdf

Here is a decent run through of the head with notation and a short lesson. Video. https://www.talkingbass.net/run-for-cover-marcus-miller/ PDF (Head Notation) Run-For-Cover.pdf

Try the Ab Cobalt flats, they have a more flat sound (they go flat by one more).

From one of my favourite albums. Also love ‘Pops’ solo on ‘Spiral’.

Not seen that VSTi. Is it Mac only?

Not often I download new albums I hear on Basschat, but just have with this album.... Top stuff.

Listened to this the other day and yes, lovely Bass playing. I must say though, they all play great. Top grooving going on. The Pianist is terrific.

Voted. Well done all.

Stanley Jordan and his lovely, unique Guitar style...

I love the way the TV host jumps in, fearing another chorus of a walking Bass solo (03:00).... Vittorio certainly had some 'Tap Chops'.

Chas was still posting on Twitter recently...

👍

Zoinks; I thought you meant the other "it wasn't Me' Shaggy"...? Not that either one of us, or anyone one else for that matter, gives a Scooby...

Always loved this version, although I think the original Stylistics version has a terrific vibe to it, that I prefer. That's Dean Brown on Guitar. Shaggy would have trouble lacing Dean's boots, let alone fill them.

Did you ever nip over the river to their boozer in Stoke Newington? Often people remembered going in there, but not coming out....

Yes, very sad news. I did a summer season with 'Chas & Dave' down in Torquay back in the mid 90's. Spent many a night getting pi**ed and partying with them. R.I.P. Chas. Top geezer.
