[quote name='Pete Academy' timestamp='1354912809' post='1892057'] I don't like it. He doesn't make the song breathe. [/quote]couldnt have said it better my self..

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1354843319' post='1891268'] Interesting, not once did I think he was being busy, showboating, or being an arse. Everything he did made the song move and the vocal shine. [/quote]i was really referring to the fact that he was slapping the part.. as the original is fingerstyle... a bit more going on with the popping etc.. i meant busy in the best sense of the word... busy to me doesnt have to be a negative term, if its done right, and he nailed it.. i have to say his double stop slide at 2.03 is a nice touch..

you[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1354841690' post='1891256'] Now that is the sh*t! THAT is how to play with sensitivity and groove, and panache. He's completely at ease with what he's playing and thinking. I can usually tell when someone's head and fingers are disconnected, his are perfectly aligned. [/quote] .. you could even say hes being busy, but the core of the song is there.. the root notes of the groove are played but with some flare.. and he leaves space were appropriate...

[quote name='daz' timestamp='1354838589' post='1891231'] While playing the rhythm as well as the melody (in places) can work well if done properly it does not work here. As Bubinga says, its just too busy, and as Luke says the bass (or the effect) sounds pretty awfull, so he's on to a loser from the off. I dont like crtitisizing anyone who can play 'better' than i can, it makes me feel something of a fraud, but I calls 'em as I sees 'em. Less is more. [/quote] i think recognising what sounds good/bad, or works well, but maybe not having the technical ability yet...., is better than having the technical ability and still not recognising it

saw this guy at the jazz cafe about 6 years ago... just got sent this by my sister... hes a great musician..... he had this guy on bass and the guitar player... really great to see a musician like this and his band.. blew my sister away... Ed started doing some scatting while playing the guitar.... had a pink cardigan on as well... looked like a brazilian abraham lincoln [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4NmR4F_QqU[/media]

[quote name='Doddy' timestamp='1354835687' post='1891188'] The thing is,Bobby Watson's line on 'Rock With You' is already pretty busy. This guy is just taking it that bit too far and not really grooving with it. To be honest,I just don't see the point in what he's doing. [/quote] ... hes letting people know hes got some chops....

yes i do love poogie doddy..i stand corrected, maybe not the whole band... i saw him in chelt maybe 6 months ago.. alex han who is on this vid, was there though ...

this is a fantastic vid of Miller and his new line up in Lugano.. his playing is off the wall... as is the rest of the band... check out Meshel ndegeocello ex keys man.. its the whole concert too.. his fingerstyle groove at 5.30 onwards is very cool.... he also starts a little battle with the sax player at 27.50.. hope you enjoy...

just been reading a thread on talkbass about a guy (below) that the op seemed to be being a little busy... really seemed obvious to me, just wondered what you guys thought... a track like 'rock with you' being such a laid back record doesnt need a fill every other bar... i indeed think the bassist is totally missing the point of playing bass on such a track... it doesnt help that his recording is so high in the mix i guess... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVuG-WegfFA seems to me that it really does depend on the song as a whole... you can be busy and it sounds just right... this bass line by ernie mckone is a great example (imo) of a busy bassline that is matched very well with a track..... superb playing also.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZbAauYiNoc its only too busy when your not applying your playing appropriately... imo... .

[quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1354442688' post='1885904'] Those who dismiss Sanborn as being merely a smooth jazz player would do well to listen to his playing on Tim Bern's tribute album to Julius Hemphill. The album is called "Diminutive Mysteries". Sanborn is no slouch !! [url="http://www.amazon.com/Diminutive-Mysteries-Tim-Berne/dp/B0000046M9"]http://www.amazon.co...e/dp/B0000046M9[/url] [/quote]without doubt.. ok he plays some very smooth jazz style sax, hes a master of his instrument... lets not forget although hes a got a bad rep for smooth jazz, Kenny G is no slouch either... the guy knows his stuff.... imo, he doesnt point his talent in the right direction...

this is amazing Maceo Parker... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_oEd1tpKWY
