Went to go see Marc Johnson with Abercrombie at Birdland a few weeks ago, but he (Marc Johnson) wasn't there.
The bass player filling in was stellar. I didn't catch his name, but he was tall and probably in his mid 20's.
Anybody know who this guy is?

Betcha Mark was at home with that ugly, untalented wife of his!

A TBer, eh? Color me impressed. (It's a color between magenta and envy.)
Definitely hat's off to McBass. |

Seen her live with of course MJ on bass - it was stunning and so was she who appeared to be wearing some sort of basque - MJ rolled in with an outsize wooly jumper that would make Starsky proud. The sound-man told me that MJ was the only DB player who turned up at Band on the Wall who had his sound and equipment sorted so it needed no tweeking. It was a trio that knew how to play for to the gallery without too much compromise. MJ set out pleying very fast and fluidly - turned out that was only his warm-up. Eliane was very good too it must be said.

Checked out her Web site and saw a picture of who I assume is MJ playing an Eminence EUB! Is this what Marc was playing when you saw him, Mike?

Last time I saw him with he was standing, touring with UK pianist John Taylor. He was playing very restrained adn tastfully. The drummer was Joey Baron. For those interested he was using Hartke 4 by 10 speaker behind him raised off the floor on top of its own flight case. Can't say about the amp and pickup.

I'm affraid AL HIRT!!!HA!!! loses me Paul - still I take it it was good?

EL-ee-ah-nee EL-ee-us, I think. Though I prefer the emphasis on the "ahhhh"....  |

And I didn't say" i'm affraid Al Hirt"!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course it was good. JEEZE !!!

Of course it was good. JEEZE !!! | Hirt/Baron does seem like a strange juxtaposition! Did you play Java?
Through my job, I've had the pleasure of interviewing Pete Fountain a couple of times, and he stood in awe of his friend Al Hirt's playing. Pete claimed he developed his own technique on gigs with Jumbo, just trying to keep up!
