[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Great example of the 'p-bass can do anything' mantra. In the right hands of course... In this case it's a guy called Audun Erlien. I don't even own p-bass but I'm a long term fan of what these great machines can do in the right hands. By the way this is just great bass playing: no widdling...[/font][/size]

Just listen to the whole session. Really both the band and the bass player are worth a good listen.

Thanks Jules

Your welcome. I'm really getting into scandanavian jazz. There's some superb stuff out there.

I've just discovered Snarky Puppy.
Really like their P bass playing bassist.

Michael League is a phenomenal bass player, his tone is superb bearing in mind he can be on stage with literally dozens of other instruments, and his lines while complex on first listen are rather simple when analysed a bit more! He's up there as one of my main influences, currently!

This is a bit less precise, and a bit more jazz ;)

And trust Ornette to push the boundaries of what instrument you can play in jazz :)
