steve-soar Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 [quote name='risingson' post='1092076' date='Jan 17 2011, 01:19 AM']The bassist is brilliant, great player... in fact the whole band are so tight. But that kind of production and performance leaves me cold. Maybe it's just the sharp musicianship that leaves me wondering where the soul can be found in stuff like this. A few years ago I would have enjoyed watching this but my view on music has changed a lot since then, the whole thing seems too sterile for me and too polished. But hey, different stokes I guess![/quote]+1 Quote
barneyg42 Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Guitarist looked like Barry Whites younger slimmer brother! Loved that, on the search for more! Quote

mep Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Thanks for posting, always good to check out different styles. Not my bag, but good non the less. Quote
Johngh Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Absolutely brilliant. I love this kind of stuff and it would be great to get a chance to play it. But there's no chance to get anyone anywhere near good enough. Including me Off to Amazon to buy some of his stuff. Quote
Linus27 Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Performance is quite annoying but what an amazing group of musicians. The thing that I loved most of all was the bass tone. Just awsome. Might get some stuff and see how it sounds without the visual image. Quote
BassBunny Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Awesome. He's playing The Cinnamon Club near me in May. I shall be there. Quote
Rumble Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Maurice Fitzgerald is such a fantastic player, more chops than a very large butchers shop, but uses them very tastefully. As for this Brian bloke with the hair, sure he's incredibly talent, but he certainly appears to give the impression that the level of his talent hasn't escaped his notice. If someone started gesticulating like that in front of me when I was playing he might just find himself having an unfortunate encounter with some tuning pegs Quote

Huw Foster Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I watched this twice through just now. His hair, facial expressions and general demeanour leave me feeling a sort of muted rage. I mean, what a douchebag. BUT, I concede... that's definitely a room full of talented people. Tasteless (at times), and the head of the tune itself was a bit lame in my opinion, but I couldn't fault the solos. Quote
AntLockyer Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Chris Miskel the drummer is one of those guys I'd love to jam with. Quote
Rumble Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 It turns out the bass player is a chap called Lamar Jones, not Maurice Fitzgerald as originally thought. Still a pretty decent player though. Quote

Just spending the evening listening to his stuff on Spotify. Superb. Don't give a monkeys about the hair or his manner, true talent is this. I just hope to God he never gets Michael Mannring playing bass for him, just imagine the comments on that thread. Looking forward to the Cinnamon Club gig no end. Quote

tarcher Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 When you've worked so hard to be that good you can have any expression you like . The guy swings it on the bone as well as the keys,the whole band are swinging and really enjoying the moment. Great performance. Now I must go and practice a little more. Quote
lapolpora Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Nothing wrong with a bit of showmanship. His trombone playing is top class. What a tone! I'm no smooth jazzer but that is an inspirational band who are giving me a virtual kick up the backside to go forth and put more into my music. Thanks for posting. Quote
Hot Tub Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 [quote name='dave_bass5' post='1092292' date='Jan 17 2011, 11:33 AM']Lovely. Not really my sort of music but i really enjoyed the tightness and groove.[/quote] +1 Really enjoyed that, so many thanks to the OP. I would never have considered anything like this, but off to see what else I can find! Quote
dmccombe7 Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Excellent ! love it. Have a listen to a guy called Sandin Wilson - "Into My World". Similar style with vocals included. Thanks for posting this - will check out albums Cheers Dave Quote

Sandin is the bassist for Gino Vannelli - if you haven't heard Gino then listen to Brother to Brother album with Jimmy Haslip. Also Jimmy Haslip is a close friend of Sandin and produced Into My World. Sandin is also a really nice down to earth guy who sent me some bits and pieces after contacting him to say album was great.
