  1. A Bass engine that you can smoke? https://dopevst.com/artist/bass-engine-vstiau-hip-hop-bass/
  2. I thought there was some pretty stunning arrangements on the Prom show (whoever the other arranger(s) were - He didn't do them all, I don't think). The Orchestra were great, but that particular Dutch Orchestra always are. Although I am not keen on his voice on certain tunes (hit & miss at times) Jacob Collier has some fantastic ideas regarding Harmony and Rhythm. Certainly a musician who knows what he is doing. For me it was pretty enjoyable, with some decent performances from all involved. Jules Buckley was on top form as well...
  3. Victor Bailey with ‘Steps Ahead’ on the ‘Magnetic ‘ album.
  4. Gary Willis on the early ‘Tribal Tech’ albums. Some terrific playing.
  5. There is a transcription of the Bill Evans solo knocking around on the net. Well worth a look.
  6. Instrumental (Jazz) wise, I have always played 'Autumn Leaves' in Gm & Em... This always makes me snigger. "Gm if you're playing with boppers, Em if you're with gypsy jazz cats, and whatever the flip minor if you're with a singer.' Then there is just about any key you want. Someone on the net got very busy. Bm - MJQ Cm - Oscar Peterson, Stan Getz Dm - Dave Grusin, Maynard Ferguson Ebm - Oscar Peterson Em - Martin Taylor, Joe Pass, Kenny Dorham, Benny Golson Fm - Chet Baker, Paul Desmond, Dizzie Gillespie F#m - Earl Klugh Gm - Bill Evans, Cannonball Adderley, McCoy Tyner, Wynton Marsalis, Acker Bilk, Miles Davis, Jim Hall, Kenny Burrell, Bireli Lagrene, Julian Lage, Lee Konitz, Tal Farlow, Michael Petrucciani, Scott Hamilton, Wynton Kelly All the best with the audition. 🤗
  7. Lol....I have the album that track is from. Top musicianship with some seriously good arranging going on. 👍
  8. Maybe the dog is watering it....?
  9. A Single Cut would be better. Less chance of missing the peg and hitting your thumb.
  10. Here you go ‘Romy’...👍
  11. For some reason, I was singing "It's so funny .....We Don't Play There Anymore" to the below tune.....A bit of rephrasing and it fits... Carry on....
  12. Most of the engraving/notation Apps have TAB - Sibelius, Finale, Dorico, Notion 6, Overture 5 (Even their cut down or free versions). There is also the totally free Musescore. This has TAB as well ( unfortunately, no iOS or Android versions). https://musescore.org/en/handbook/tablature Although there are the 'viewer versions'. You can use this/these apps for downloading and viewing the free (user download) scores from Musescore. iOS - https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/musescore-songbook-sheet-music/id835731296?mt=8 Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.musescore.playerlite
  13. Apart from the bloke with the Mic getting lost at 5:30 and maybe a tad bit more Reverb, it's nothing a bit of added Cowbell wouldn't sort out. 👍
  14. Rick’s videos are quality. He really does know his stuff. Probably my favourite YouTube channel. 👍
  15. Renaud Garcia-Fons, a terrific musician. Pizz solo starts at 2:05...Arco solo at 3:33.
  16. That whole album is great!!
  17. I like all the usual (and unusual) Bass solos from over the decades; Jaco, Patitucci and the rest of them etc. Slow/fast there is usually something to keep me interested. Just too many to list really.
  18. I always wondered why the national anthem was named ‘God Save The Queen/King’ and not ‘God Help Us’...?
  19. “Esso Coins”....I forgot about those.... 👍
  20. Extremely irritating - 'The England band' and their following murdering eight bars from 'September'. It seems to go on all game, every game. All together....1234
  21. Wouldn't that involve a scrolling score? Like the Presonus Notion App (or similar) for iPad? Which is a dedicated score App. Just curious really.
  22. Disco Duck is not broken, Jack - It's still alive and quacking.
  23. Always reminds me of hot, sweaty nights..... Quincy Jones cover of ‘Summer In The City” (Chuck Rainey on Bass).
