Nate Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 It's more of a research kinda thing. I work for a site called showmehowtoplay.com and we're wrying to find named bass players to do masterclasses etc... Who (UK wise) would you like to see? I've got quite a short list... If you tell me who they are and who they play/played with or if they're just session dudes i'd be very grateful! Thank u kindly!!! N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 Thank you! This is useful! Keep em comin... I've spoken to Laurence and he expressed "some" interest in doing something - i'm trying to track Pino down but i don't think thats gonna happen. I'd probably wet myself if it did anyway!

Bilbo Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Just thought of another one! Paul Westwood - Barbara Thompson and a host of others as well as author of a great tutorial book (not sure of the title). I had a lesson with him once and, whilst he is no gunslinger, he is a great teacher as well as a good player. May be fit for purpose.

Bilbo Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Dill Katz - best name in jazz. Nice player; I have Thompson's double live LP somewhere (vinyl again!!) - great sound, nice feel. I saw his quartet at the 606 Club on Lots Road, Chelsea about 6 years ago. It was OK but not a life changing experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernmeister Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Oh !! plus 1 on roger inniss. What a superb player, being based in birmingham i've been lucky enough to have seen this man play in local bars on numerous occassions over the years. His playing never fails to inspire me, after seeing him play i always end up scurring home to practice more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the one where side 4 of the LP is essentially a drum solo! ;o) I have one or two of the albums.. nothing really new and I have no idea what they are doing now.. but still appreciate it greatly.
