Who would you like to see

[Nate]

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!!!

Laurence Cottle has to be in there - has played with everyone from Jim Mullen to Mike Oldfield.

[Machines]

Steve Lawson may be a suitable candidate.

Roger Inniss is worth checking out at www.rogerinniss.com

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]

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.

It may be a tired idea, but i would love to see steve harris do something along these lines!

[Mike]

Stuart Zender, Nick Fyffe and Paul Turner perhaps ?

Ahhh!! Speaking of Barbara... Dil Katz!! What a bass player! He played on the Mother Earth album amongst others. If I played fretless, I'd wanna sound like that!

I rang him up for bass lessons a few years ago out of the blue. He politely declined and wondered how I'd got his number.

+1

Absolutely +1

Saw Wilko & Norman at the HalfMoon in Putney two weeks ago. Forget technique and timing, just go with the commitment, the energy, the FUN of Norman on bass.

Unforgettable. That's what he is.

Cool! and COOL! ;o)

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.

[Bernmeister]

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.

I have it too! 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.

I'll throw

Percy Jones
Colin Hodgkinson
& Gerry McAvoy

into the mix.
