lowdown

It seems most (all?) the (Beeb) Glastonbury Chic 2017 YouTube videos have vanished, still loads of other Beeb material from Glastonbury that has not been removed though. There are quite a lot of Chic and Nile Rodgers Videos from the last twenty or so years up on YouTube, with a variety of different Bass Players. I didn't realise that Nile Rodgers toured and gig so much (someone did mention it in a previous post).

[quote name='BobVbass' timestamp='1498826162' post='3327370'] The amazing Danny Thompson on bass - apparently written and recorded in an afternoon in Gerry Anderson's front room [/quote] The Thunderbirds Orchestra in someones front room ? That must be some size front room...

[quote name='Rich' timestamp='1498824378' post='3327342'] and of course without question the greatest TV theme tune of all time... Great thread BTW. [/quote] A nice little interview with Barry Gray (only 3:30 minutes long, inc the march), regarding how he came up with the theme. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stzOgERbTG0

Some cool Bass on this tune (Marc Miller - not Marcus). http://youtu.be/tUltrX-ICew

[quote name='Russ' timestamp='1498830853' post='3327424'] Jerry Brown does his job very, very well. [/quote] Yep, he ain't bad. Again, a bit busy, but yes entertaining. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_684EPv5No

Another one with some great section arranging. (Carole Kaye on Bass) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hQldclTLwM[/media]

Lesser known (well in the UK). Nice Bass ([size=4][color=#333333]Jim Hughart) [/color][/size] on this with some great section arranging. [media]http://youtu.be/gB2Ttn3yozs[/media]

Lets be honest, we love 'em all. It might be more fun posting the WORST themes... (in your opinion of course**)

[quote name='funkgod' timestamp='1498822735' post='3327316'] Lee Sklar [/quote] Another good one with Lee (below). But I must admit, it's all about the blowers for me on this one. [color=#333333]Ray Pizzi (alto) & Ernie Watts (tenor) along with Jerry Hey and Gary Grant on Trumpets.[/color] [color=#333333]The two Saxes at the end, just terrific.[/color] http://youtu.be/6GthsX_ps4A

This YouTube page is a great resource for the studio players involved on a lot of the themes.

What about a shout for UK Bassist, Andy Pask and Drummer Charlie Morgan ? They together, wrote 'The Bill' theme... http://youtu.be/wc4Hqde7aDA

[quote name='paul_c2' timestamp='1498781258' post='3327061'] It occurs sufficiently often in classical music that it has a name - hemiola. Its 6/8 but there's definitely 3 over 2 polyrhythms involved. [/quote] Agreed, along with 6/8 for me as well. I can see why the OP Drummer might think it's 3/4, @5:08 when the Drums drop out, there is a definite Viennese Waltz feel. So, I wouldn't write the Drummer off as a dud just yet.

[quote name='skychaserhigh' timestamp='1498662705' post='3326196'] Some quite nasty comments about Liam on here , I wonder if you people are brave enough to say these things to him in person...? [/quote] He is the biggest keyboard Warrior in the World. I am sure he can handle the return Salvos. http://www.nme.com/photos/liam-gallagher-s-30-funniest-insults-1412859

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1498501588' post='3325075'] Now added! Sorry for the delay... traveling. [/quote] Cheers, no problem Top man... (Dads big massive blue thumb)

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1498483236' post='3324903'] ... and Runswick goes disco ... [/quote] Haha... Blimey, I remember this, a keyboard player and friend of mine (Pete Kelly) was involved with this project. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I am another one who has been walking around with this tune in my head for about forty years... [/font][/color] Yes, I always thought it was [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Darryl Runswick.[/font][/color]

[quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1498468464' post='3324733'] really good mixes. Best sets of the festival in my opinion [/quote] Agreed, and yes, both bands had crisp, clean mixes.

I am not a big fan of Jerry Barnes, to me he seems a bit undisciplined. Although he can play really well at times with a great tone, I find that all those long slides/slurs, dodgy fills and sloppy slapping gets too much for my ears But then again, who am I to dig him out. He seems a popular, well liked guy that has worked for Nile for a few years. (And I do like slap, along with the whole Disco/Rogers/Edwards thing). I thought the rest of the band were great, pretty tight/disciplined. The girls worked closely together and the Drummer laid it down well. Nile Rodgers.... Well what can you say...? He is just so on it. All in my opinion of course. They played some classic tunes in a classy set.

My (late) entry didn't get put up... (I think Skol was a bit busy - But no worries, my own fault for being late). Voted. Well done folks, some decent stuff up there.

Too good for Glastonbury.Those old folks are going places... Very enjoyable.

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1498341272' post='3323994'] I also grabbed 4 of Mike Verta's masterclasses on sale. Two on composition and two on orchestration and they're proving to be inspirational. [/quote] Mike Verta's videos are excellent. My oldest boy has a couple and they are a great watch.

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1498311729' post='3323802'] Very welcome G, but I might not be able to add it to the roster until later this evening or tomorrow morning [/quote] Ok Paul, that's fine. Cheers mate. https://soundcloud.com/garrycribb/the-lonely-chateau

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1498307684' post='3323772'] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/307747-june-composition-challenge-voting/"][b][size=6]VOTING IS UP![/size][/b][/url] Be gone and make merry [/quote] Can I add a track a bit later this afternoon ?...

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1498216173' post='3323167'] Indeed; thanks for posting. The pdf's have to be downloaded one by one; the mp3 files can be had as albums. Just for kicks, here's a extract from one of the pdf's... The poor fellow, marching along with his triangle, waiting for his moment..! [/quote] The poor fellow ain't waiting for his moment - He is the moment !! A lonely sixteen bars to get it wrong before his sidekick comes roaring in at ff to save the day. I wonder what is happening in the forty bars before ? I was going to say, possibly tacet. But, the racket of twenty pairs of marching military boots is hardly a tacet.

Maybe this should be in theory ? Might only appeal to a very few, but the "The Complete Marches of John Philip Sousa" are available for free. Three albums/Volumes for download, plus all the scores in PDF and Scrolling Scores. Excellent for studying scoring and arranging.
