Jamerson’s Back!!

[Zegie]

Just been listening to the album Love's Finally Found Me - Stanley Turrentine & Gloria Lynne

I know it can't be JJ playing bass – can it?

Check out the track ‘Loves finally found me’.

OK who is it if its not Jamerson?

It's amazing how many bassists having heard Jamerson had their lightbulb moments. Maybe it triggered something that was already pretty close to the surface in a lot of them. Jamerson for all his legend and legacy didn't have that long of a first-tier recording career before others took over for the most part. But how many players of that time really carrried the Jamerson torch forward - a hella lot!

Well said. He did add so much to the encyclopaedia of bass playing techniques.

As we have seen, it might not be Jamerson - but it just might as well be, because everytime we think - hey that could be JJ, in a way, we are hearing the man himself. If you get my drift.

What a legacy!
