Bilbo Posted November 4 Author Posted November 4 (edited) Another Holland tune, the beautiful 'Equality' from the 1996 Quartet album, 'Dream Of The Elders'. The tune features the moody vocals of Cassandra Wilson and the poetry of Maya Angelou. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/equality-vocal-version-dave-holland-quartet/ Edited November 4 by Bilbo Quote
Bilbo Posted November 5 Author Posted November 5 (edited) Something from Branford Marsalis's 1987 recording, 'Random Abstract', this is the complete Delbert Felix bass part for the Monk tune, 'Crepuscule With Nellie'. Interesting structure and very 'Monkish' phrasing. Just three times through the melody but some challenges in there, nevertheless. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/crepuscule-with-nellie-branford-marsalis/ Edited November 7 by Bilbo Quote
Bilbo Posted November 7 Author Posted November 7 I have had to abandon two transcriptions this week because, having got half way through, something derailed the transcription and I had to abandon (essentially, I tried things that I couldn't hear the bass part properly, even after a MOISES re-mix). So, in an effort to keep things moving, I have put together an easy one that most of us have a chance of reading, the complete Jeff Berlin bass performance on the tune 'Small Wonder' from the 1988 Kazumi Watanabe album, 'The Spice Of Life Too'. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/small-wonder-kazumi-watanabe/ 2 Quote
Bilbo Posted November 7 Author Posted November 7 I am in this kind of mood this evening. Jimmy Bain's bass part for the tune 'Tarot Woman' from the 1976 Rainbow 'Rising' album. Don't you just love that synth intro? https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/tarot-woman-rainbow/ 1 Quote

Classic album. Dave Quote
Bilbo Posted November 8 Author Posted November 8 Another bucket list transcription, the complete Glenn Hughes bass part to the title tune from the 1974 Deep Purple album 'Burn' album. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/burn-deep-purple/ 3 Quote
Bilbo Posted November 8 Author Posted November 8 More Neo-Prog - from the 2014 IQ album of the same name, the Tim Esau bass part for 'The Road Of Bones'. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/the-road-of-bones-iq/ 1 Quote

Much appreciated. I’ve been to lots of IQ gigs, but I’ve never yet been asked to dep for Tim, but I will now be prepared (apart from me not having a Stingray 5 🤣 ) Quote

Bilbo Posted November 9 Author Posted November 9 One of those 26 second shorts off YouTube. Joe Dart playing a D Minor groove that's is funky as, well, everything else Joe Dart does! https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/the-beast-joe-dart/ 1 Quote

Mattz Posted November 9 Posted November 9 Whattta gold mine! I am curious how to view the pdfs. When I click on them I'm taken to a page that says it cant be found. Thanks! Matt Quote
Bilbo Posted November 9 Author Posted November 9 (edited) Which ones are you clicking on, Mattz? I will have a look and see whether the problem is at this end. If you are clicking on the links on this thread, a lot of the old ones don't work as there have been several site upgrades since they were posted and they no longer work. You can find everything on the website. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/ Edited November 9 by Bilbo Quote

Bilbo Posted Wednesday at 20:50 Author Posted Wednesday at 20:50 Another incidence of appalling self-harm, the complete Dave Holland performance of the tune 'The Balance' from the 1998 Quintet album, 'Points Of View'. All 11 pages..... https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/the-balance-dave-holland-quintet/ 1 Quote
Bilbo Posted Thursday at 09:20 Author Posted Thursday at 09:20 A much more accessible chart today. The complete Steve Rodby part for the tune 'Afternoon' from the 2002 Pat Metheny Group album, 'Speaking Of Now'. I am hearing it in a gentle 12:8 because of the triplets throughout. Could be 6:8 or 4:4 swung triplets. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/afternoon-pat-metheny-group/ 3 Quote
itu Posted Thursday at 14:09 Posted Thursday at 14:09 Steve Rodby is one of those super annoying bassists that play only the right notes at the right time. Sarcasm aside, I'd love to be able to play that way, to make the instrument sing. 2 Quote
Bilbo Posted Thursday at 14:44 Author Posted Thursday at 14:44 (edited) Such a great tone. It does all the work for him. Edited Thursday at 14:45 by Bilbo 1 Quote
Bilbo Posted Thursday at 21:59 Author Posted Thursday at 21:59 A little thing to keep things moving whilst I work on another longer transcription. Mark Egan's opening solo on the tune 'April Joy' from the 1978 eponymous Pat Metheny Group record. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/april-joy-bass-intro-only-pat-metheny-group/ 1 Quote
Bilbo Posted yesterday at 11:16 Author Posted yesterday at 11:16 Another long one, this is the Jay Anderson bass part for the tine 'Three Romances Pt.1 - Choro Dançado' from the 2004 Maria Schneider recording 'Concert In The Garden'. Not a roast in the conventional sense but enormously satisfying to play. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/three-romances-pt-1-choro-dancado-maria-schneider-orchestra/ Quote
Bilbo Posted 2 hours ago Author Posted 2 hours ago Someone requested this following the 'April Joy' solo transcription but I can't remember who or where (it was not on here). I have done a complete transcription this time, the Mark Egan bass part on the tune 'Jaco' from the same 1978 Pat Metheny Group album. 'Pat Metheny Group'. The solo on this is great and all the more interesting when you see it written down. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/jaco-pat-metheny-group/ 1 Quote
