One of my favourites. Its so impeccably played, recorded, produced. It was a slow burner for me. But i can listen to it over and over again now. Never get tired of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYryV8og6Ms This is also a favourite. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vR9Gvm5lQU

i have OCD but thats another matter. This is a cracker Mickey. Yep its very rock. but with a snippet of another genre. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGdyVnW86SY

This is all very great , but when she picks up the Fender its just some great singing and playing. @ 6.00 minutes in. She plays Wayne Shorter's Endangered Species at 11 40. its absolute killer bass playing. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PKxZud0_yI[/media]

[quote name='Mickeyboro' timestamp='1459042528' post='3013138'] I had a ticket for their 1974 tour of the UK they abandoned partway thru. I then thought them the most inventive rock band I had heard. Finally saw them in 2000 and they had disappeared up their own fundament! What went wrong? [/quote]first off, i think there early sound is rocky ish. but they are not a rock band imo. . there sound is a mix of rock, jazz, funk. Everything went right for me when i heard AJA

[quote name='tobiewharton' timestamp='1458945057' post='3012400'] Hi James, As Bubinga5 rightly says, it is a different story here in the UK. There is a 'scene', but simply not the market to support many recording artists. Also, unlike in the US, here there is less of a culture of gospel musicians playing secular music professionally, so the 'exposure' for church-based players is limited. There are exceptions, but this is the trend. Nevertheless, there is a wealth of talent here. There are thriving Pentecostal churches in most cities and even some small towns, where congregations worship through both traditional and contemporary gospel styles and musicianship is consistently outstanding. New Testament Church of God and Church of God of Prophecy are two such churches with congregations throughout England. I hope that helps a bit! Tobie [/quote]Thats what i wanted to say ya bugger.!

[quote name='ianrendall' timestamp='1458955172' post='3012468'] I absolutely love the Dan and the solo work of Fagen. Currently enjoying back to back listens of Kamakiriad and Sunken Condos on my bike rides to and from work. [/quote]he he thats exactly what i do. 35mile round trip on my Trek. Dan and Fagan in my ears. this record is a great one when I'm drifting along. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feBV-d4X8Cw[/media]

Its the album version from Katie Lied matey. The best thing that ever happened to SD was there love of jazz and funk Charlie Parker etc

Ive got to be honest. i see guys selling RI Fenders for what they were new, in some cases more. £1300 for an American 75 RI..????

I can never get enough of Walter and Donald. i just think they are very specail musicians, that make seminal music. My sister loves this record and we were listening to it tonight. Denny Dias's guitar solo is excellent. its just a wonderful piece of music. I can not wait for Mr Fagan's new solo album. if i were stuck on a desert island i would hope i had Steely Dan;s music.

Im not sure it gets any better, and yes George Duke is on keys also in the background. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTnCHP-9Wdo

i think Brian Wilson is a genius. Love the Beach Boys. There harmonies are really great.

The thing is i have a local tech who has advised me i should get an Aguilar OBP3, he has quoted me £210. The bass i have is not a drop in jazz plate option, as it has a side jack. i have come around to the fact that i don't like really transparent pre amp's. I've also come around to the fact that I'm talking sh*t and talked myself into an Aguilar.

In the UK Gospel, like the stuff you have heard in previous posts is hard to find. There is a church in Gloucester near to where i live that plays Gospel, but it is quite traditional. Thats not a bad thing. London and Birmingham have a great gospel scene. Incognito's finest Randy HOPE Taylor plays in a great gospel band in London. Unfortunately bands Like New Direction don't exist in the UK. Thats the great heritage of black music in the US, it created music like that.

A fantastic disco record with a fantastic bassline. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5rMfLJKwIE

Dale Black is a master imo. and one of the best Gospel players alive. His groove starts at 7.20. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ThwuJVcyoA[/media]

I've been into Gospel for a few years now. There are so many gospel bassists. huge amount. Dale Black is incredible, Gouche. Dale Black Maurice Fitzgerald, Reggie Young. I love a band called New Direction, they are just superb. They are so good, but i don't know the bassist. For general Gospel check out Fred Hammond, Hezekia Walker, New Direction are by far are the best urban gospel band that has ever past my ears. The album is called Send the Praise. You will never forget buying it. its just incredible. The bass playing is just… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA2lwHQXYKo
