Twincam Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Hmmm Carol Kaye not sure about her yes she could kick my ass on bass and a great player. Dislike her personality a bit. I don't know why as I started off liking her and thought she was cool and had some great bass lines and have really enjoyed reading or watching documentaries about her. I respect what she has done but she grates on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefbaker Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 I know what you're saying. She has very specific ideas on how things should be done that won't fit right with everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1455903495' post='2983547'] Did she bot take credit for Jamerson's work on something as well? [/quote] Not deliberately, I think. She did play on an awful lot of hit songs over a very short period of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I guess when you play on 10,000 records your memory could become hazy about which ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Agreed. One can simply not remember it all, and one can feel a certain closeness to certain songs, and erroneously think the closeness is from having played on it. I don't believe at all that she does this deliberately. Me, I'm on probably 4 to 6 songs on a certain recording, and [b]nobody[/b] knows who played exactly what. Even listening carefully to style, we could not find it out at all. Again and again it was a case of: "this could be A or B, but thinking about it, C also plays like this sometimes".

paul_5 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) Carl Kaye's books taught me more than anybody else's. I'm grateful for her taking the time to write them. I'd quite happily let her kick my arse - hell, I'd lend her my shoes! Edited February 20, 2016 by paul_5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles'tone Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I've learnt a shed load from her method books. I love her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbass Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Agree about her irritating personality but I kinda like the idea of who she is..a fully rounded professional electric bassplayer which I most definitely am not and never will be. I love to think about the stuff she has played on...all those 70's Lalo Schifrin TV cop themes, films and the rest etc...she was/is top class and was around at the right time.
