Always good to feature other musicians, especially when they’re good bass players and singers. I’ve only seen the first five minutes of this so far, but it seems to be really beautiful. Plus there’s a double bass…
Really diggin’ the Blues again lately. Here’s a good one, I know that song from when I was young. And an awesome power performance as well, showing how a Paula should be used:
I also listened to some real old stuff, but as you see and hear, there’s hope with those who are still living 🙂
My French friend Christophe just shared a link to an album he made, and which features Alex Sarikov, one of our master bassists from Russia:
If you like Funk and groovy Fusion as much as I do, and also enjoy listening to real good musicians, have a listen. Recommended – and thanks to Tof & friends; I’ll download that one for sure! 🙂
Oh, and in case you want to see Alex in action, here are two promo videos he made:
Yes, we have some awesome musicians in the ‘loops. Come and join us!
Oh wow – sometimes Joan Chamorro and his students take difficult pieces which they study and perform. But this one, wow – even with much too much reverb (recorded from camera mic instead of mixing console?), this is so good:
Oh, and Magalí is a real good double bass player as well as you might know if you’re reading here regularly.
The song “Nature Boy” by Eden Ahbez, well – I have it in my real book, and it looks pretty simple, but isn’t. The very first version I heard was the one by George Benson, and that one *is* simple, at least the rhythmic part of it. Still a song which makes you melt away with its beauty and very strong message:
That one came out when I was about 20 or so. I’ve been to a recording studio with 19, then later heard this – and I was hooked forever. My first steps into the direction of Jazz were pretty sweet as you can hear. But Magalí in the first video above? She’s much more advanced than I’ll ever become.
Just made an extended dancefloor version of a really groovy track on Wikiloops. Just sliced & diced & cut this, no bass or other own instruments involved until now:

List of musicians, so far:
That’s 6 musicians, the current maximum number – so future adds will have to leave out at least myself. But these could also be uploaded onto WD55’s remix if a reference to moonchild is made…
Thanks for listening. Now enjoy again, and dance a little. Have a nice weekend my friends.
Update, from Saturday evening (some 10 hours later):
I’ve made a new template with a slightly different remix, and to make future adds a bit easier:

My camera which broke almost 2 weeks ago will be repaired at Olympus – it will be a heart-and-brain transplant (mainboard) which will cost about one third of a camera replacement, so it’s the reasonable thing to do.
Until then I can sometimes borrow a camera from Mitchie or from Zuleikha, so today I used 2 of my studio strobes and Mitchie’s E-M5 Mk2 to take this photo:
