Just been listening to this album again, i hear very little Jazz in this album. And as someone above has said - Neo Soul sounding. Sweet Voice. In many ways, she reminds me of Tania Maria. Garry

[quote name='stoker' timestamp='1338067673' post='1669334'] I consider myself well and truly told. I must learn to engage brain before opening mouth! [/quote] People just jesting i think - well on my part anyway. Garry

[quote name='urb' timestamp='1338049668' post='1669038'] still love her version of Endangered Species though[/quote] Yep, very good. I believe Wayne Shorter thought it was great to. Garry

[quote name='stoker' timestamp='1338026479' post='1668753'] I have given her another go. [/quote] After calling her rubbish - I think it was just a sympathy shag on her part... Garry

I thought Radio Song was great on the JH show. Great arranging & writing, and well played all round. She draws from her many backgrounds, Afro American, Hispanic etc.. Some Brazilian/Latin [ Ivan Lins ] influence in that tune, with the changes & Rhythms. She writes and plays how she hears all those different styles and influences. If it's not your thing, that's cool - but rubbish ? Garry

People come on this forum begging for a like on their Facebook band page or such like, and for that you get a chance to win the grand prize of.................... Feck all Garry

[Very] Experienced/ex pro/ good busker/quick learner/great reader/reliable/Funky/good Jazzer/backing vocals/good soloist etc.... But - 'Expert' to describe a Musician seems really odd - makes him/her sound like some sort of corporate team leader. Garry

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1337500470' post='1660833'] True, and vice-versa. Hence the number of successful 'artists' with no discernible talent. [/quote] But they are doing something right - even if it's just getting Porked by Simon Cowell. Garry

If you phone is always ringing, and you are getting booked on a regular basis, You must be doing something right. There is always a lot of 'experts' that talk good, but sh*te at delivering, and that's in any business not just Music. Garry

Also it's good to transcribe other instruments other than just Bass, This is of course good for the pitching/ears, but also gaining a good/better understanding of [Theory] harmony , Rhythm and chord structure. Go with what you think you will gain more from. Garry

I think it's a great idea and the tapping works for me - of course it all needs tidying up. Violin intonation has gone AWOL though. Good stuff. Garry

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1337323945' post='1657968'] Pain to get sheets though. [/quote] Pain if you get the sh*tes as well. Garry

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1337332210' post='1658158'] She was responsible for some great tracks during my teens/early 20s...here's just one example.. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX1z4Tql8ck[/media] RIP Donna.. [/quote] That was a great tune. Along with her 70's stuff, i just loved her duet with Barbra Streisand on Enough is Enough [No more tears] Fantastic arranging and Musicianship all round.

Well yes, Just Bass & Conga's would leave you limited. Garry

[quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1337250387' post='1657717'] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I never liked the original tune and it's chord sequence anyway [/font][/color][/quote] Do you mean the Miles version ? If so , Donna Lee is based on the changes of Home again in Indiana, or back home in Indiana [or similar title] Miles just put his melody to it - the rest is Parker [Jaco] history. Garry

Terrific stuff. Mr Thomas swinging like the clappers there. Nigel Hitchock must have been chomping at the bit for a solo... Great post Garry

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1337099146' post='1655456'] I wish I could run away and join the circus! Good luck! [/quote] I was working with a Keyboard player who at that time had been working on 'Les Mis' for over ten years. When i asked him how it was going ? He said " I am a bit fed up with it now - I think i am going to run away and join a factory" Garry

[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]Terrific stuff from Carles, as usual.[/color][/font] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Nice articulated sound.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Garry[/font][/color]

iLok & Steinberg key have saved me a couple of times. Garry

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1336832514' post='1651700'] Wrong thread, though. Should be in the PhotoShop contest... [/quote] Yep, as was pointed out on various Facebook postings a few weeks ago. I am amazed it took so long to arrive on Basschat. Garry
