wateroftyne Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) Hi all This is probably old news, but just in case it isn't... I was looking for something and [url="http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/newbay/bp_sessionlegends/index.php#/0"]stumbled across this[/url]. I'm not sure whether it's *supposed* to be open access, but it is. And it's got a few interesting bits and bobs in it. As our cousins over the water say: enjoy!

risingson Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) Nothing is wrong with the content of it but it's been hashed together from interviews that are many years old now, and they haven't done it convincingly (Bob Glaub's interview for example, he's answering questions that were originally part of a Q&A and it makes for a weird read). Also it doesn't accurately represent the current climate of session musicianship very well. Interesting a read as it may be for those who haven't read the interviews before it's really lazy journalism and I can't help feeling like they should have come up with new interviews discussing the session climate as it exists today. Sorry to be harsh, but i don't think it's particularly great! Edited August 3, 2011 by risingson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, it's an interesting read for those who haven't seen the original articles but I think it's pretty lazy journalism. edit - ah see what you mean, amended Edited August 3, 2011 by risingson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to the magazine, reading Anthony Jackson's opinions are always interesting. His passion for the instrument and music in general is infectious but you help feeling like you wouldn't ever want to mess him around unless you wanted a pasting with a Contrabass.

toneknob Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Speaking of Bass Player, has anyone seen the August issue anywhere? The one with Nate from the Foo Fighters on the cover. It's either late in the shops, or it's been and gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I liked it. The interviews are a little dated, yes, and the Carol Kaye one is incomplete, but the section on recording bass is worth some investigation; there's some good advice and a few nice tricks to be had there.
