My only real grumble about the Beeb is [size=5]that Marching on Together isn't getting the airtime a top 10 single deserves [/size][/quote] I hear you brother !

[quote name='urb' post='843025' date='May 20 2010, 11:31 AM']Hi Folks Just wanted to share some good news that I was awarded [b]Jazz Journalist Of The Year[/b] at the Parliamentary Jazz Awards last night, I was chosen by the All Parliamentary Jazz Appreciation Group - the event (for your info) is actually sponsored by PPL the copyright company that helps musicians get paid for their performances. I was nominated last year but lost out to a fine colleague at Jazzwise magazine - but when my name came up on the nominatiosn list again this year I thought I stood a reasonable chance of getting it - as did Jazzwise magazine as Publication of the Year - anyway I'll go away now but just thought you'd like to know this - more info [url="http://www.jazzwisemagazine.com/component/content/article/51-2009/11413-jazz-breaking-news-jazzwise-scoops-jazz-publication-and-journalist-of-the-year-at-parliamentary-jazz-awards"]here on the evening at the Houses Of Parliament[/url] last night. Cheers Mike[/quote] Nice one mate,well done

Great stuff , i really enjoyed that ! The bass sounds excellent why'd you get rid ?

Nothing to write home about. Your usual pop superstar over the hill performance by numbers. Sad but ...."i hope i die before i get old"

[quote name='bilbo230763' post='734737' date='Feb 4 2010, 08:36 AM']Not heard that one. Who is on it? Russell Malone and Mulgrew Miller?[/quote] From amazon . For nearly 40 years, Ron Carter has been jazz's most in-demand and well-traveled bassist: from Miles Davis's Someday My Prince Will Come to A Tribe Called Quest's The Low End Theory. Along the way, Carter has recorded several projects featuring Brazilian music. On this recording, Carter, along with pianist Stephen Scott, tenor saxophonist Houston Person, guitarist Bill Frisell, drummer Payton Crossley, and percussionist Steve Kroon apply jazz forms to Afro-Brazilian samba rhythms. As a frequent visitor to Brazil and as a devoted student of that country's music traditions, Carter and his crew deliver a subtle, laid-back CD that combines the best of both worlds. Carter's "Saudade," which roughly translates from Portuguese as "longing," highlights the Iberian character with its mournful melody. His other tunes "Por-do-sol," "Samba De Orfeu," and "Obrigado" make the Rio De Janeiro/Bahia-born rhythms swing with their festival-parade soul intact. On Jobim's "Manha De Carnaval," from the motion picture Black Orpheus, Person's broad and breathy tenor solo echoes Stan Getz's floating melodies. Carter's "1:17 Special," dedicated to the African-American "underground railroad" and Dvorak's "Goin' Home," ring with the spirituals and the blues, peppered by the percussive percolations brewed by Carter's buttery bass tones and the rhythmic relations from Brazil.

Just picked up a copy of Ron Carters "Orfeu" excellent wee album . loving the brazillian textures.

[quote name='Rich' post='728844' date='Jan 29 2010, 03:57 PM'] Whenever I see this pic of this extraordinary bass, I start wondering if perhaps I should have gone for a gloss finish on my Shuke rather than the satin one. That top is beautiful. Errm, you're not offending anybody... that's actually what I was getting at when i said that the basic concept of PC is a good one [i]unless it is taken to extremes[/i] (e.g. your blackboard example, which as far as I am aware is very much the exception rather than the norm -- [size=5]it certainly never happened at [i]my[/i] school in the 80s[/size]).[/quote] Who you trying to kid Rich you'd left WAY before then

[quote name='silddx' post='728821' date='Jan 29 2010, 03:41 PM'] BTW, it's not "white", it's "with milk".[/quote] That is a beautiful bass . I have an 88 Streamer and i have spent a fortune buying and selling basses from Kingbasses to Jazz and i keep going back to that Warwick. With new strings on it broke in its UNTOUCHABLE .

[quote name='silddx' post='728052' date='Jan 28 2010, 08:14 PM']Thanks mate. [size=7][color="#FF0000"][b]Now get yer tits out for the lads![/b][/color][/size][/quote] Now if i was half the man i would run to the mods

[quote name='silddx' post='728036' date='Jan 28 2010, 08:03 PM']Oops, we were posting at the same time so you wouldn't have seen my last post. I was just being humorous mate, nothing personal. P'raps I should have but a wink smiley on there so you could interpret my sense of humour more easily.[/quote] Not a problem mate it's the internet things can be easily misconstrued. And as i was brought up in a cathoilc convent " i forgive you my child "

Cheers again i'll be checking out all of these.

[quote name='silddx' post='727965' date='Jan 28 2010, 06:58 PM']To be perfectly honest, you and BlameLouis come across like you grew up in a Catholic Convent. Stop just talking about [b]it [/b]and bloody do [b]it[/b], and do [b]it [/b]well, or she'll leave you like the last one did.[/quote] Sounds like a personal attack pal. I expected more from you .
