musicbassman Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Here's Freddie Washington playing 'Forget Me Nots' with Patrice Rushen at some open air event. He was the original bass player on the recording. He doesn't let up his concentration for the entire performance, and his playing is so clipped and precise - absolutely brilliant. Patrice Rushen is no slouch on the keyboard either, as this clip demonstrates later on. And I love how at around 4.30 she gets the audience to clap along ON the beat - I wonder why ? 😏 😄🙄 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Just laying it down like a boss. On the subject of that, I ran into this on Tiny Desk. Given the reaction (good) of some of the other musicians to things he does he is not a long standing member. However he is totally nailing the whole set, beginning to end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 A bass line that was a classic when it was first played and that stands the test of time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Freddie's an amazing player, but what a fantastic drummer. Looks to me like she gets them clapping on every beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrevorR Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Very few people can look cool and dignified playing a keytar but Patrice still oozes cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
