[quote name='mcgraham' post='886145' date='Jul 5 2010, 11:05 AM']dr1, love the video, really grooveworthy, but I think faithless is being quite fair. He didn't try to give advice, just pointed out what the thread was about. I read faithless' post as just voicing a friendly concern so as to try and avoid this thread ending up as another heated debate between members who like discussing avantgarde playing/players, and members who think bass is all about the groove (which I wholeheartedly agree with!).[/quote]
I agree entirely. There was no need to jump down Faithless' throat, his comment was perfectly reasonable.
mcgraham is right, the last thing we need is [i]yet another[/i] "it's just fretw*nking / no it's not / yes it is" thread, we have dozens of them already. Some of us like contemporary jazz, nu-jazz, fusion and so on, and it'd be nice to be able to discuss it occasionally without constantly being told that we like sh*t music. Is this really too much to ask?
