atsampson Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Lovely! When I was getting into jazz originally, my bass teacher gave me NHØP's "Those Who Were" to listen to - still one of my favourite albums. 1 Quote
KingPrawn Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 His influence on Jaco was massive. I love this track. Two incredible players and how it resolves at the end is beautiful. 2 Quote
mybass Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 I’ve saw him a few times at Ronnie Scott’s, once on two consecutive nights in duo with guitarist Joe Pass. The interplay was incredible, which was why I went back a second night. His intonation, timing and subtlety was superb. Indeed, one of the greatest double bass players. 2 Quote

What a great gig that must have been. In the presence of genius it’s tempting to try and analyse what they do, but sometimes it’s better to forget we’re musicians and just enjoy. I remember seeing a performance by Christian McBride (in amplified) and it was incredible. (Didn’t stop a few people on the audience falling asleep, mind you) 1 Quote
