Bilbo Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Some really nice piano players on there but, more to the point, there were some really nice bass players: NHOP w. Oscar Peterson, Stanley Clarke with Chick Corea's Return To Forever (didn't they look young?), Charlie Haden with Geri Allen and Paul Motian. But does anyone know the bass players with Ahmad Jamal (electric player with an Alembic) and Herbie Hancock (was it Ira Coleman with hair?). And did I spot Alec Dankworth playing an Aria SB1000 with his Mum and Dad on 'Wogan'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 There was some great music on that programme, though Diana Krall left me cold I have to admit Don't know who the player was, but an Alembic through an SVT rig is not a common jazz gig set up, is it?

PTB Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 James Cammack was probably the guy with the Alembic with Ahmed Jamal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencer.b Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Robert Hurst from the early Wynton albums was with Diana Krall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 I thought that Krall thing was on e of the highlights! Not the best piano playing but a nice edgy arrangement. That, the Alen and the Jamal thing. BUt Basie made me smile. What a band! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
