Cliff Edge Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Surely Herbie Flowers deserves a mention here. And Guy Pratt has done some good work of a Jazz. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of you who have never come across a band called Sixun, the guy in the video Michel Alibo is Sixun’s bass player. Originating from Martinique he settled in France and was a founding member of the band . A huge influence on me, but sadly virtually unknown in the UK. Jo Zawinul from Weather Report recruited several members of bands based in France including drummer Paco Sery from Sixun and bassist Etienne Mbappe from Ultramarine, eventually replacing Mbappe with another French based bass player Linley Marthe an absolutely exceptional talent. You might want to check these players out if you’re curious. Here’s Michel playing some frankly ridiculous bass to Sixun’s track Djoudjou. Hope you enjoy it and find some new inspiration. that was ace, enjoyed that cheers, did notice that's john east retro pre he is using there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 So many good players are mentioned already. One of my favourites is the late Victor Bailey playing his koa Pensa-Suhr. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t have noticed the pre, maybe I’m just not that detail orientated 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
