Boodang Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) Lists like this are quite fun if only for introducing me to Dirty Loops and highlighting Lee Rocker's trip across America in an airstream. I'm biased here, but for me there's never enough mention of upright jazz players. My shout would go to Nick Blacka from Gogo Penguin for their approach to micro-compositional playing.

There's an interesting interview with John Taylor in bass player this month... hasn't convinced me he's the best bass player in the world for '21. Still, makes for interesting lighthearted debate though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love John Taylor. I think he's a great guy and I've had enormous pleasure listen to and playing Duran Duran songs for decades, but, I wouldn't put him in the top ten of any year - let alone 2021. I do wonder what the criteria is. Do they just have to be alive? Or must they have gigged or released material in 2021?

hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Ah just read it again, must have been 'active', but even so, my point stands. Readers polls 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazed Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Such a random list of people thrown together. Sure some of them are interesting stories but how some them are rated in 2021 doesn’t make much sense to me. Then again these lists are as irrelevant to anything, as much as my opinions on such matters are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I guess if JT is your number one player in 2021, he's probably your number one every year regardless. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I just read a comment on FB where this list is also posted…. ”#1 in the world? He’s not even #1 in Birmingham!” 😂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if your name was on the list ,then you would have different opinion .John Taylor has to be the number one bassist simply because he has been the most successful player over the year of 2021,but agreed the others are also rans.
