I found a video of a Boomish rehearsal on youtube, great bass playing in there. Tim is one of my favorite groove players. So solid!

Definitely an underappreciated talent. IIRC, he fills in for Jim Genus on Saturday Night Live now and then.

One of the most underrated, or at least unknown bass talents out there. Recently played with John Mayer on Letterman, though he seems to stay under the radar quite a bit.

On the instrumental side of things, Rudder and Boomish are both excellent, and I really dig his playing with Uri Caine and David Binney. But my heart flutters most when I hear his contribution's to Wayne Krantz's "Greenwich Mean" and "Your Basic Live".

+1

I also really really dig the stuff he did with Jojo Mayer, but those two Krantz albums have been on heavy rotation lately.

Yep, the live albums available at the WK site are in heavy rotation here too. Keith and Tim together are doing wonders for me.

+1 for everything on this thread... he is my favorite bassist w/ Krantz (Anthony Jackson is great, but Lefebvre "gets" the music more).
His stuff w/ uri caine's bedrock has been in top rotation lately.

Just picked up Bedrock. Great, great stuff!!! Tim's groove on the first tune alone is worth the price of the disc.

Just discovered Rudder today and then checked out the hilarious boomish video.
Good Stuff.

Love Tim's playing with Krantz and Carlock- if you've never seen them live, and you get a chance, definitely go. The records don't come close to the vibe of actually being there.
Tim is one of those guys who make everything look easy.

+1, the Uri Caine Bedrock stuff is incredible.

I have been really digging his playing on the new Krantz Carlock Lefebvre album too, so supportive and funky.
