So, I have Grover Jr.'s "Ultimate Collection" CD. The album is filled with the funkiest and smoothest bass lines from the '70s. I know young Marcus Miller played on "Just the two of us." But the rest of the songs seem to have nothing but P-Bass in them.

Anybody know who played on this albums? This particular album is a compilation, so I guess I'm referring to several of his '70s albums.

Anthony Jackson?

I googgled it up, but couldn't find anything.

Thanks.

not sure about your disc.. but I listen to "Live at the Bijou" a lot and it's got Tyrone Brown tearing it up with a gritty P bass tone.

I think Gordon Edwards was on some of the early CTI stuff of Grover's. You want to get blown away their is a live Grover in concert DVD with a young Anthony Jackson play his famous Career Girl JBass.

Chuck Webb was with Grover Washingtin Jr. for quite some time; I am pretty certain that he is playing bass on a few tunes.

Is it on Columbia Records? I'm on the Latin tune. I was in the band for a year in '93 .... had some great moments.

Easy,

very cool!

Gary King played the classic line on Mr. Magic. Grover's records always had sweet bass grooves on them. +1, on James Hart's Live At The Bijou recommendation, I wore that album out learning and playing Tyrone Brown's grooves in the 70's......Lock It In The Pocket anyone.:bassist:

I remember seeing Gary King on the back of a Bob James CD. He had some sort of semi-solid body bass guitar. Anyone know if he used that bass often?

He used that bass on a lot of those 70's recordings, I forget the brand name though. It had a unique tone.

allmusic.com has the following bassists listed in the credits for that CD.

Marcus Miller, Gary King, Tyrone Brown, Ron Carter, Louis Johnson, and Cedric A. Napoleon.

I know Gary was on Mister Magic and Black Frost.

He's one of my favorites. I saw him in the 70's and for the last three years before he passed away. His live version of "Let It Flow" just cooks! You can see/hear one version on the "Standing Room Only" DVD.

Awesome dvd,

Steve Gadd, Ralphie MacDonald, AJ, Eric Gale...

Thanks, all. I'm checking all references. I'm afraid to admit that I have never heard of Gary King, Tyrone Brown, and Cedric A. Napoleon were, before this thread.

Good to know.

No reason to be afraid to admit it... just take notes :bassist: I keep a text document on my desktop and whenever someone or some band is mentioned that I don't know in context to stuff I do dig... I copy/paste it to that file. I think I could buy a disc a day till the end of my days and never run out of new music :bassist:

How is the video/audio on this? I've been thinking of buying it but have read some bad reviews about the digital transfer.

Its not quite "magnificent audiophile quality" that the dvd suggests but it is not bad~ considering the age of the content, its really quite good.

Definitely Definitely worth buying....
