Childhood memory - one for the oldies

[jude_b]

I have a memory of seeing a female singer and a really good electric bass player, with no other musicians, on a programme like Pebble Mill when I was reasonably young - probably in the early eighties.

This resurfaced again recently and I had a thought it might be Jaco/Joni, but I can't find anything relevant listed on the appearances section of the Joni website.

I thought I'd mention on the forum because it is bugging me slightly, and if anyone else is going to remember this, it will be someone on here.

I realise this is all a bit vague, but does it ring a bell with anyone?

Do a bass player and singer ring a bell?.......,

Joni mitchell had a relationship with another of her bass players i know he was good but i dont know the guys name.They seemed to appear a lot together n the early 80s if thats any help.

[YouMa]

Larry Klein.

[Talon]

Janis Ian and Richard Bona maybe...might be a little later than the 80's come to think of it

[stu_g]

Was it Joni dankworth & Cleo laine i remember that combo dont think he played bass mind!

[ead]

I keep thing of the Hejira album, so can't get past that to think of other possibilities

Slight hijack here (sorry). Anybody also remember Angie Bowie doing her poetry thing with a bass player noodling in the background?

[TheGreek]

Kate Bush and Mick Karn???

[Cosmo Valdemar]

Vikki Clayton and Fred T. Baker?

[jude_b]

Thanks for the replies. I don't think it was any of the suggested combinations, although Mick Karn could be a possibility.

When I searched YouTube to check, the definitive version of You've Lost That Loving Feeling by Paul Shane came up, which I'd forgotten about. So it hasn't been entirely in vain.

Thanks again.

Not quite a childhood memory, I was 30 at the time but yes, OGWT 82 - with Mick Karn (noodling!) on bass

I also remember Japan's first appearance on the OGWT in 1980, especially Mick's bass playing on "Swing"

I very seriously doubt Joni Mitchell and Jaco Pastorius ever appeared together on Pebble Mill . Joni Mitchell did play live dates in the U.K IN 1983 with her band that featured her then huisband Larry Klein on bass , so maybe that is an outside possibility , but still rather unlikely .

I see from Karns biog that he and Angie were a little more than friends ;o)

He said "really good bass player" not "pretentious art school ponce with dodgy intonation".

I vividly remember seeing that when it was first on television all those years ago and I loved it then , and I enjoyed seeing it again just now . It would be nice hear the work of Pam Ayers getting a similaly abstract but funky bass treatment .

That's who I was going to say too!

Wow Mick's tone and groove on that poetry jam are fantastic! He doesn't even look at his bass while he's playing, the lovely weirdo
Just remembered how much I need to try a Wal fretless too.
Cheers for posting that dry_stone!
