BBC 4. NOW!

[Owen]

Do it.

[zbd1960]

I was listening to it live on R3

[Owen]

Me too. And now I am watching it. I would pay good money to be on this gig.

[Mykesbass]

Waiting for it on i-player so I can listen in peace on headphones. Looking forward to it.

[HazBeen]

Bona playing Quincy soon....

[leroybasslines]

Is the guy on bass playing the fiesta red P the Metropole regular player? He's doing the business!

Virgin has decided that BBC 4 won't load.....so I guess I'll wait for iplayer 😒

Didn't rate that Richard Bona thing at all.

[oldbass]

Ha, on 'Stuff Like That' even the string section were groovin....very cool. I thought the whole thing was brill..though Im not sure Richard Bonas voice was really up to it.

[lowdown]

Stunning arrangements, top, top playing from very experienced musicians, great vocals.
Shame Richard Bona was struggling vocal wise, he is normally on it.

You see, get in top arrangers, experienced players and vocalists and things just work.

Just watched this again on iPlayer.
That Orchestra really is fantastic with a terrific Rhythm section.
If you have not seen the show, it really is worth a watch.

8 minutes in (including the introduction) and already it is blooming amazing!! Tight, nicely mixed, yes, rhythm section working brilliantly with the orchestra!

[AndyTravis]

What did I miss, had anyone got an iplayer link?

Deeelicious...(sorry, getting quite carried away)!

[deepbass5]

Ya Bono was pants, I called the wife in and said listen to this guy
Corey was cool

[KK Jale]

Heckuva show.

I think the bassist is this guy: [url="https://www.mo.nl/orkest/aram-kersbergen"]https://www.mo.nl/or...aram-kersbergen[/url] . Seems like a '63 P and I'd love to know his amp but it sounds pretty B15. [url="https://vincent136.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/aram.pdf"]https://vincent136.f...013/02/aram.pdf[/url]

The Jamie Cullum Prom the following day was good too. That guy certainly knows how to bridge the jazz , pop and rock genres. And did you see our own TheG on double bass with the Remi Harris Trio. Great playing, Mike.

Yes, Excellent.
I didn't know the Bassist in the Remi Harris Trio was a Basschater. And, yes it was indeed great playing from him.

[Sibob]

I've never heard Billy Jean sound so good!!

My son sings with the Roundhouse Choir and the gig was a fantastic experience for him. So proud.

I've just watched the Quincy Jones set - wow!!!!

Fantastic stuff (apart from the reedy voiced white bloke). Cory Henry was amazing!!!

The set was so good that I'm actually 20 mins into watching it all over again! $

I'd imagine the rights clearance costs wouldn't be feasible against any projected sales, which is ever so sad
