Kyle Eastwood at the Barbican

[MoonBassAlpha]

Anyone on here going tonight? 

He's playing with  Jean Luc  Pontypridd and Bireli Legrene

 

Edit

Nah, I  think I'll leave it like that - almost made coffee come out of my nose!

I’d love to see him live. Work keeps clashing with his dates.

 

metropolitain is one of my favourite albums.

[Hellzero]

Seen him twice : terrific fretless bass player, terrific fretted bass player, terrific double bass player, terrific musician. But you have to like more classical jazz. My wife and I really love the music he is making. "Time Pieces" is my favourite album to date.

Is that Clint's son? He has one called Kyle anyway.

[Hellzero]

Yes, he is one of the 365 children he has. 

Thanks to his father he fell in love with classical jazz music and the bass instruments when he was a child, going to lots and lots of concerts with his dad. 

He learned bass and double bass with Bunny Brunel, a friend of Clint.

Yep I was there - really enjoyed it. He's quite tall isn't he?

Listening to Samba De Paris now, one of his songs from last night. Good stuff.

Nigel Kennedy was in the audience as well btw. Overheard him crack a "he'll never get that under his chin" gag at Kyle.

 

[Hellzero]

He is quite tall indeed. Did he play Big noise from Winnetka (he whistles the theme) ?

I discovered him through the album Now, and immediately liked what he was doing. And now (  ) I have his 8 albums and my wife and I go out to see him when he is playing around, so twice only to date, sadly.

Whistles is better.

[toneknob]

Don't recall any whistling songs. Rather than rely on my failing memory, setlist.fm to the rescue:

He didn't play it.

This must have been a great show with Jean-Luc PONTY on violin and Biréli LAGRÈNE on guitar (he is also a terrific fretless bass player and can play just like Jaco who has been touring with him : funny, no ?).

[Hellzero]

Enjoy :

Thanks for that, i had no idea! I really enjoyed Barbican the concert. I thought Lagrene's note choices were more interesting than Ponty, though his playing was less precise. We were front row, with our own little Meyersound monitors right in front of us!
