Who would you interview and why? |

| | | You....need I say "Why"? 
OK, besides you...I would go with William Parker cause I'm listening to some of his stuff right now.
Why? Parker has played with both Cecil Taylor & Anthony Braxton. I would like to know how one can hear/digest what they play/do...and make it happen as a member of the rhythm section.

I'd rather just play than waste time reading about it. |

...because, although i've heard/ heard of/read of him many times, only recently have i begun to really start to listen to what he's been doing and not only is his playing intriguing, he seems to be a very knowledgeable, creative and forward-thinking fellow

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Dallas | | | next, i'd like to interview stu brooks of dub trio
he has developed a great way of combining the classic sound of the instrument with newer, fresh sounds and doing the same with the way the instrument is used within the context of a band
his work with peeping tom is fantastic, and i feel he pushes the envelope a bit while having a solid knowledge of where the instrument has been

because i'm very curious as to what he's been doing musically since the urge disbanded...this cat killed it in that band with the whole package and his growly sound is still one of my favorites to this day

There's a number of players I admire in the most sincere manner that seem to dominate bass-oriented media. It's the same six guys, over and over, lather, rinse, repeat. For my fantasy rag, I'd definitely feature Anthony Jackson, Alex Al, and studio players in LA, NYC, Nashville, and Atlanta. I'd also feature accomplished local players around the country who are under the radar and/or haven't won the success lottery of national recognition.

I would also interview amateur's as well this way they could get some exposure.

Two bass mag related posts from Jauqo in the last few days.
RedemptionBass wonders (and likes typing in the third person) what Jauqo has cooking. |

The cats who make a living playing in successful corporate cover bands. Cats who play for Tyler Perry plays (or any plays). Gospel bass players (not just Gouche and Fitz). Funk/R&B players old and new! Blues players old and new. Smooth Jazz players like Nathan East, Andre Berry, Bill Sharpe, etc.
Edit: Add all the female bass players!

hehehehe
probably guys like Renaud Garcia-Fons, kooky guys like you, some indie builders, more working stiffs that are heavy weight sessioneers in their respective cities.
make sure to keep a BIG eye out for bassists in Europe (UK too) Asia, Africa, Persia, Asia, etc., a lot more of an international scope. |
