Danny Thompson

[TwoTimesBass]

Evening folks,

 

It was very sad to hear about the passing of Danny Thompson today, someone who was a real inspiration for my bass playing. In fact it was watching Danny playing in the Transatlantic Sessions series that got me back to the double bass after being away for a lot time, playing along with those videos taught me a great deal.

 

A player that I much admired not so much for his virtuoso skill personally, but someone who could sit behind and accompany many different musicians across many styles, understated and looked damn cool doing it!

 

Here are a couple of my favourites, please share your thoughts

 

 

 

Much respect and thanks...

A true legend . The world is slightly poorer without the wonderful Danny Thompson .
