Calling anyone with old bass magazines....

[aj5string]

Right, long shot i know, but...

I'm trying to get hold of a particular article that was in a Bass magazine. I think, it was in Bass Player magazine, but am not certain - so would really appreciate it if everyone could rack their brains!

Its an article by/about Anthony Jackson, where he talks about the bass guitar in jazz + prejudice etc... Its for my dissertation - not just to read

Anyone know the one i'm talking about?

Cheers! Alex.

Quite possibly

I've not actually read it, only been told about it - but it looks like it could be what i'm after!

If anyone has the hard copy of that article, could you let me know - i'll need info for bibliography and footnotes etc...

Thanks!

Ahh - i think the 2nd one is what i needed!

Where do you find all these things - do you just have loads of bass related bookmarks

Alex.

[Mikey D]

actually...it probably isn't either of them. He wrote for bass player for a few years, but I don't have the magazines that go back that far.

I may still have the issue with Mr Sheehan on the cover...somewhere, I'll check and post if it's still lying around.

Well, the 2nd one definitely looks helpful - i was speaking to someone today who thinks they have it: the more sources the better :-)

Cheers again. Alex.

edit:

Ah ok.

I read alot of this topic!

Producer: "We're doing an album, and we want you to play on half of it."
Bass Guitarist: "Great. What's the material?"
Producer: "You'll do the rock and fusion stuff."
Bass Guitarist: "What about the rest?"
Producer: "Straight-ahead jazz. Upright."
Bass Guitarist: "I'm good at that. Why not let me do that as well?"
Producer: [Silence]

how familiar this sounds.
