I don't think she is condescending and, she sounds sexy...It's just a shame that she has cloth ears. I've just tried running your audio clip through 'Shazam'. No luck. The annoying thing is that it does ring a bell from the past. It must be an oldie. It has a middle eight... I'm on a mission myself now, it's driving me bonkers.

Her solo at 39:10 on the Gibson is lovely, with a nice tone too. Like you say, the Trio gigs are a good listen, the Piano Player, Rafał Stępień, plays great..!! Her dad (on the video - Drummer, Irek Głyk) is also a very fine Jazz Vibes player.

Seventeen Strings you say ? That's nearly Eighteen strings...

Funny you mention that. My two boys were doing some research on the area I'm from and they showed me this... 👍 http://www.britishrecordshoparchive.org/a1-records.html#

One of my favourite singers...Although I have seen the documentary before, I watched it again. He was certainly a class act. All those 'Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes' tunes he was involved with are absolute classics. (Not forgetting the studio musicians and arrangements as well..!!). The band should have been called..."Teddy and the Blue Notes"...

I know it's about musical opinions but, Yep, I agree... This current version is doing my head and ears in.

I don't care one way or the other, I don't normally listen to Tributes/Tribute bands full stop. But, I suppose with a lack of playing time for most musicians this past few months, it's a chance to get together with other players and do a bit of playing, even if it is remotely.

I think the OP had the Skyline version and he is right, sometimes, the quality is a bit suspect with them. The USA Laklands are a different Beast altogether. Price and quality wise. https://www.lakland.com/product/usa-series-dj-4-darryl-jones-signature/

R.I.P Certainly one of my favourites from the early 70's onwards... I thought things were not so good when he posted this over the Weekend.

I like it..!! Excellent playing all round from a very tight band. Top marks for the very mature Brass arranging as well. 👍

Ferrum - FREE Trailer Percussion for both Kontakt versions. If you are only using the free Kontakt player, you will get a license for use. It also has very good step sequencer for building up your own rhythms as well a bunch of rhythm presets. https://bedroomproducersblog.com/2020/08/05/keepforest-ferrum-free/

What a bizarre episode. R.I.P

He's getting there. The Etudes are hard work on Upright, but he is starting to feel the benefits now. Although, they are a good work out for Electric as well...As your video shows..!!

Well played, Rob. I agree about the book. My oldest has been using it for Double Bass practise these past few months and he is really enjoying working through the Etudes. Funny enough, I have just been listening to John Patitucci this afternoon. His upright playing on Dave Grusin's album, West Side Story, Is terrific.. Well worth a listen.

Strangely enough, not much about Glenn Miller though. Then again, Trombone players aren't big news anymore.

He's still alive. Reps squashed the story on his behalf sometime yesterday (unless that's a hoax). Hoax deaths are some kind of Internet game played by Keyboard warriors when their mums have gone to Bingo.

Agreed...For example, Adam Sandler used more vibrato on the Werewolf "Ah-hooo" line.

Quite insane really for a fiver...I feel quite guilty taking up the deal. iZotope Trash 2 and UJAM Carbon, both free with any purchase. Check out the deal with the link below: https://www.pluginboutique.com/articles/1652?a_aid=4de37c52da03a

I grabbed this today. Firstly, I downloaded the demo and gave it a whirl and found the presets to be very subtle. They are a good starting point and some of them are good to use as they are. A winner for me. I also tried the demo for their Ducking Delay & Reverb Processor. Another good one that has some useful Sound Design presets straight out of the box. Thanks for the heads up. 👍

I thought this might be useful...Ian Sheppard has a Mixing & Mastering Podcast show with some pretty useful information. (It's pretty varied as well). https://themasteringshow.com

Excellent...Very dynamic with good themes going on as well. 👍

Weighted/semi-weighted, synth action etc...? Full size keys, mini keys (Yamaha YC), how many octaves? Midi In/out or USB? Mod wheels, pads, cc# sliders? Sustain and volume pedal options? Budget? Like the poster above said, your choice ultimately, but it's worth thinking about the options (or some of them) I mentioned as well and not just (onboard) sounds (if any). There are plenty of great sound libraries out there that you can add as required. The Native Instruments keyboards are worth a look as well as the mentioned M-Audio Keystation.
