Here's a nice clip of Pino. Nice homely feel to it. He does just enough to make the bassline groove and fit in beautifully.

Years ago when Tony (the man Pino is doing this session for) lived in Belgium I got a call to do a gig with him so I had to learn all the Pino-licks from the excellent live cd "Naked Flame".
I did my best but I got fired :-) (I heard an excuse that I was unable to give energy on stage because I combined gigs with a daytime job... maybe I would have preferred that I just wasn't good enough, there's nothing wrong with saying the truth, I can handle it :-)).

Humbling story, seems a shame in some ways as you're obviously established enough as a player to get the call, you'd think that if they were after a Pino clone then they should have simply phoned a Pino clone!

Thank you... he has worked with several bassplayers but apparantly he didn't like my playing.. Those things happen, not much you can do about it.
It was a bit painful since I performed with him live after which he said that it was an honour to have me in his band.
The next gig I got a call that it was cancelled .. I was walking around in Oostende (Belgium) with my girlfriend and pointed at a bar and said "Normally I would have played here now but it was cancelled" but as I was saying it I heard music and it turned out to be Tony was playing there anyway but with another bassplayer..
I called him for an explanation the next day and he told me that 'I was bringing the blue shirt on stage and lacked energy because I had to work during the day.." (I work as a receptionist at a police-station but I'm not a policeman).
He's been gigging every now and then around here in Belgium but with another bassplayer (excellent, by the way)

He makes me sick.












Great touch, technique and taste and from what I understand a really nice bloke. Don't you just hate him? :)

Love the Pino vid and the Tony O'Malley tune has a wicked groove.
Thanks for posting 'em both guys.
