Those handpans aka hang drums are a wonderful invention, and using a jew's harp this way is also wonderful as the bansuri and the fretless. Thanks Tony. I knew you like this !

mic mac moe Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 It's Blue Murder for me,by the band of the same name. Tony Franklin on fretless, Carmine Appice with the best drum sound ever committed to tape, and local lad John Sykes doing everything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers_Williamson Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Some great choices with which I agree, esp Jaco on Shadows and Light. No one has mentioned anything by China Crisis from the 80s and didn’t Bruce Thomas play some great fretless in the Attractions somewhere?

Piers_Williamson Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Oh and who played Fretless in Lindisfarne? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Cloud Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Great post. For me "Masques" by Brand X is tops. Percy Jones playing is hugely expansive, influential and undoubtedly had a meaningful affect upon Mick Karns development. ... I wouldn't disagree with any of the other opinions offered thus far. Jaco was obviously a monster on "Heavy Weather" by Weather Report. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big fan of WRs Heavy Weather but for me Percy Jones with Brand X top the fretless bill (I've got the 4 CD set Nuclear Burn so can't decipher which album is best!). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzmanb Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Tin drum as far as albums but the 80s was great for fretless The Dreaming by Kate bush is full of fretless wonders too Paul young,peter gabriel,blue nile ,black,Numan,china crisis etc etc all had great stuff to try and learn Karn is the boy for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 And we forgot the great Carles Benavent with Paco de Lucia (everything was played fretless !!!) He even played with Miles Davis and nowadays, he's been playing with Chick Corea... Listen to this and his amazing style of playing : 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen him live a few times over in Spain. There is an interesting version of 'Bluestorius' on YouTube somewhere (although on fretted). 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
