bluesparky Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) Nice to see the BBC giving some premium airtime tojazz related bass! Edited April 19, 2011 by bluesparky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Unfortunately the discussion will always get around to Clint and it did. Would have liked to have heard something from the new album rather than the live footage. Still a bass player on BBC news is pretty cool.

bluesparky Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Yeah, true. I did like what I heard though, a nice thing to wake up to though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I particularly like the soundtrack he did with Eastwood Sr. on Million Dollar Baby. Understated and beautiful i thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesparky Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Slightly diverting away from the original post, all i could think of when he was talking about the name "Tales from the Chateau" was the 12th Man and the name of Richie Benaud's French Vineyard - the wine from there being "Chateau Ver De Floor"..

bassace Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I'd been happier if they'd asked him what strings/pickup he uses and what his string heights are. Also whether he prefers Gamba or Violin corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

51m0n Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 He gave his bass a right good slappin' when Plux and I saw him last year, bloody good gig and came across as a totally excellent chap. I'm not a jazzer by any means but damned good music is damned good music, and the playing was phenomenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddy Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I saw him play the other year and he was great. Nice guy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
