I have just been trying to explain in a post about note placement for a bassline that somone asked for tab for. Would it be possible to have access to a bit of score writing software on here? (could be an advertising/revenue opportunity too) So that rather than long wordy explanations of what it is, I could just write exerpts and post them on here. I have literally thousands on nuggets of bass goodness floating around in my head, most of which could be written in score form really quickly. Making PDFs of parts seems obstructively long hand. Any Chance??? Anyone???

I hate to dispute but the second note is a B not a Bb. Otherwise correct. Its a great groove, the emphasis should be locking into the gaps around the bass drum, with a really quick soft/hard dynamic between beats before, and on the beat respectively.

Thats very reasonable Daf. I would be surprised if you found a better deal than that. Jake

Hi OG, I'd be really interested in the books and websites you mention as I'm in the process of learning to do upkeep on mine. Cheers. Jake

Some people learn with their ears and are successful, some learn with their eyes and are successful. Some people do the same and are not successful, and success to me is measured in how happy one is with ones own lot. Not for others to decide. Each side of this argument needs to learn to live with, and be less denigrating about the other side. To answer the original question it's important to whom it's important. To the others it's not.

Assume that you're not going to do it and ask for as much as you think is not taking the piss.

The beaches in Pembrokeshire are some of the best in the world IMO, and I've been to some of the supposed 'best'... Ipanema, Carribbean, Copa Cabana, Phuket, Devils Island, Red Sea, Persian Gulf etc etc, they are not a patch on Pembs beaches Some lovely shops in Narberth, if you like tapas be sure to visit Ultra Comida at the top of the high st fantastic cheeses meats and olives yum. Enjoy.

It seems to me that many artists like this feel that a gig in London is all they have to do for the UK. Marcus Miller is the same. I guess it's down to demand, and the lack of it for a full scale tour of the UK.[/quote] She did play the Boardwalk in Manchester a few years back, it's economically driven and tour organisers are the ones who know what money they can expect, where. EDIT: just been to the Jazz Cafe website where it says the show is cancelled. sh*t DAMN f***

Marcus Miller, Walter Becker, Steve Rodby.

Have a good one Mike, it's a great venue. Jake

Jeez, who resurrected this? I thought it was long dead. It's a good one though, even if I say so myself.

Hi From another Alembic owner. Jake

Thanks Guys. It is my Jazz, the one in my avatar. <--- tone is through my Alembic pre straight to desk and all parts played by yours truly although I think some jiggery pokery might have gone on in post production. Jake

Apothem, I don't think the level of your anger is matched by problems here. As a community you might find more favour among us if you approach an issue with a more reasoned outlook, otherwise you will attract the likes of the first response.

As I said earlier I would like to see him live as I'm sure there's a lot to see and feel from him. He's in good company and it's great that people report he is approachable, when the fire of youth settles down he has the chance of turning into an important voice in European jazz. Just remember though Jaco was 18 when he started playing with Metheney and they had a lot down by then, taste and skill!

I've played at 2 funerals. And I didn't do it with them, but my regular gig band played on an Italian TV show, were dragged all the way over there to play three 10 second links to the advert breaks!!

I'd like to see him live to feel the energy in his playing. While his ability is outstanding, nothing I have heard recorded is exciting me. I like to feel a sort of bristling excitement from players.
