dmccombe7 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 WOW The stamina to be able to play like that for long periods. I'm so jealous. Was a big fan of them in 70's / 80's and tried copying a lot of what he did but nowhere near as brilliant. It did however allow me to play a lot faster and tighter than the standard rock music i was playing up to that point. Also let me show off a little when i auditioned Percy Jones, Jack Bruce, Geddy Lee and Richard Sinclair from Camel probably my biggest influences. Cant play like them but they were what i was aiming for. Hopefully i learned something from them all. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathy Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Wow +1 I have never heard of this band before. Will definitely check some more out. (The percussionist does look like the spare prick at a wedding though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 This track on the album Unorthodox Behaviour has the most delightfully subtle drumming from Phil Collins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 There's some lovely playing on Richard Barbieri's albums, which actually is where I first came across Percy Jones. I saw Richard do a masterclass recently in Birmingham, he played some isolated bass tracks, fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goingdownslow Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I first came across Percy Jones playing weekly in O'Connors Tavern with The Liverpool Scene in '68/'69. He was jaw-dropping then. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gmpQC2BNfg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) '76 footage of Jones with Soft Machine . Jones had already joined Brand X the year before, because he'd stated in an interview that with his £200 advance, he bought his PB fretless, which it seems he's using with Soft Machine 3rd track at around 10:50 you can hear the Jones style , and even more so at 19:00 , with that oddball home built flangery wah thing ( he was a bit of an electronics wizz ) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VBHygKgilM&t=203s[/media] Edited September 10, 2017 by fleabag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
