At a summer jazz camp I went to right after my freshman year of high school Steve Bailey came in and did a solo bass performance and clinic, and played a concert that night with the UNCW jazz faculty. That got me hooked.

Jack Bruce and Larry Taylor...opposite ends of the spectrum but both are incredibly good at what they do.

Everytime I hear a great bassline, or a groovy song.

What can I say? It was 1986, and I was 18 years old:

Stefan Lessard of Dave Matthews Band. Possibly the most tasteful busy bassist ever.

You're just now discovering them? Too bad you're more than 12 years too late to have seen them live. There is, was, and will never be anything else like a Dead show. I listened to their recorded stuff for many years and was mildly interested, but in 1981 I went to my first show and it was... Well, words fail me, but when get to this point when I am telling the story aloud, I whack myself upside the head and go "Ohhhhhh. Yeah!"

Well ofcourse

but the drugs helped too, no?


I dont see how anybody can listen to Phil Lesh's parts on American Beauty and not just fall in love. One of the best albums of all time. Anybody who says the dead couldnt pull it off in the studio is an idiot

Ric Fierabracci's solo on the PBS broadcast of "Yanni Live at the Acropolis." It was 1993 and I was 15 years old and had never seen anyone play like that before! A textbook example of going WAY beyond the root!!!

Watch it here and dig the positively unreal solo that begins at approximately 2:43...
