Also, there doesn't seem to be any credits on all the usual sites for that album....
Which I thought would have opened the door for Carol Kaye to claim it was her. **
It seems the track in question was recorded at 'Hitsville USA' in 1970. That's before Motown moved it's headquarters over to LA in 1972.
So the Bassist could be Bob Babbitt or Jamerson?
The 60's were great for Big Band theme tunes...
I don't really need to post The Flintstones (Rhythm Changes) theme. It's probably ear worm to a few of us ...
Edit - Double Post.
For some reason, I can't seem to find how to delete a post on Basschat. Yet, I can name a couple of Sax players on a Cagney & Lacey session from years ago...
Composer Patrick Williams wrote some stunners as well.
"On television, his music accompanied Columbo, Lou Grant, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Bob Newhart Show, The Streets of San Francisco to name a few".
Bill Conti was another terrific TV theme writer (and main film themes for that matter).
I loved the 'Cagney & Lacey' tune he composed. Great playing Ray Pizzi on Alto Sax and the amazing Ernie Watts on Tenor Sax.
And of course, his 'Dynasty' opening theme:
Yeah, it was. In fact, he played on a lot of Mike Post's TV show themes. IIRC, he met Mike Post on some sessions with the Wrecking Crew.
I like Mike Post's writing and over the years have transcribed a few of his tunes.
I couldn't believe it when I stumbled on him posting on Facebook a couple of months ago where he is very active talking/posting stuff about his career.
(there is a wealth on good info on there).
It's amazing that he had just crash landed onto Social Media after all these years!!

The Jagger & Bowie version.
They should be made to eat it, and when nature calls, open up their bowls and deposit it down the nearest available toilet.

I think he probably does all right for himself and he strikes me as a very accomplished musician.
A nice freebie Library from 'Audiobro' that works in the free Kontakt player.
You have to give your email address etc and they will send you an email with the serial number for Native Access.

A lot of musicians and the general public to this day, have not acknowledged, or are even aware of the achievements of John 'JR' Robinson.
He was also responsible for one of the most iconic drum intros in pop history.

Because 'Skankdelvar' mentioned Convolution Reverbs, I thought this link might be handy if anyone is looking for a free Convolution Reverb VST along with some (interesting) free IR's. At the top of the list is 'Convology XT' by Impulse Record. Defiantly worth a look, even if you have a CR.

It's always worth having a look at the Native Instruments 'Free' offerings. Some decent Instruments and FX to get you going, plus they always have good upgrade prices and sales going on.
Another vote for the Motu M4 here. I've had mine quite a while now, it is very solid and works great at very low latency for recording.
