Don't know if this has already been posted, but the walking bass in this is just fantastic. Especially in the second part during the t
trumpet solo.

Really nice! I love hearing quality walking on electric. Goes really well with the big band arrangement IMO.

[Shakin-Slim]

Oooooh. That walking is hot man.

[Jon_West]

It's terrible. I try to listen to the trumpet solo... I really do.

But I just go right back to hearing that walking.

Not to take this off topic, but you guys hear of the (electric) bassist Laurence Cottle? If not, I'd definitely recommend checking him out.

You can download many free tunes from his website. Here's his version of "All the Things You Are" and the walking is sweet!

edit: His version of Rhythm Changes entitled "I Got Rid ov Em" is big band (not "All the Things You Are").

Makes me proud to go to this school

While we're on the topic of electric walking, I guess I'm going to have to post one of my favourite jazz fusion tunes (funny enough, it's from a videogame ).
