Early Pino back when he was all ours in Wales. We knew he was the bomb. Here is his solo off the album Welsh language jazz fusion? Who knew such a thing existed?

Crawford13 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Michele Camilo Big Band - Caribe Absolute masterclass by Anthony Jackson, and the bass is really high in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Also ‘Vigil in a wilderness of mirrors’, the first album from Fish after he left Marillion. John Giblin’s playing on every track is a masterclass in the art of playing fretless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 'Champion' by Jeff Berlin is a good shout. It's an amazing record. 'Pump it!' is arguably even better. Two of my absolute favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowdown Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 'Grasshopper' by the Wayne Johnson Trio has sublime, wonderful playing from Jimmy Johnson. Top stuff indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 A seminal one for me - Magazine's 2nd album "Secondhand daylight", Barry Adamson at his funky and melodic peak. Mick Karn obviously well represented in previous posts but I'll mention again - just because. Technically much of his best playing IMHO was on "Gentlemen take Polaroids" (not so far mentioned), but "Quiet life" remains my favourite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two albums opened my eyes to what bass can do. I was never really interested in playing bass as a ‘bass’, always more as an instrument, then I realised that you could. I’m now of the opinion that a groove is something you get stuck in, and should be avoided at all costs 😊.

Barking Spiders Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 + 1 for new Gold Dream ( also for Sister Feelings Call) and Deon Estus's playing on Fantastic Fabrique by Fashion - love the lines on this underrated album by an underrated band Limping for a Generation - the Blow Monkeys debut. Has some lovely fretless by the overlooked Mick Anker The Specials - chock full of cracking bass by Sir Horace. essential for the band's sound I Just Can't Stop It -The Beat . always feel Dave Steele 's also often overlooked. New Boots and Panties - the first time I head Norm's tasty bass work Duran Duran (debut) and Rio - John Taylor's always been a quality player and Planet Earth definitely grabbed my ears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mothership Connection by Parliament has to be included in this, as Bootsy's first overt superfunky starting point. Every bass line is a massive, fat killer. Some other personal favourites: Manchild by Herbie Hancock & Headhunters. Paul Jackson's P grooving still floors me. Destroyer by Kiss. Nothing fancy but the reason my young self picked up bass, learning the record note for note. Really melodic, driving lines that brought bass to the attention of countless kids the world over. Graham Central Station first album. Larry Graham. Nuff said. High Havoc by Corduroy. Richard Searle is a machine, especially on this track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
