Anthony Jackson?

[roogbass]

I found an old cassette(apps.1989) with music on it called "5 easy pieces".
This bass player was a big influence for me.
It has to be Anthony Jackson, or an imitator, and a very good one.
I put one song in a dropbox,

Can someone confirm my thoughts and have a cd or mp3 with good quality for me?

Thanks.

There was a band by the name of easy pieces.The bassist was Anthony Jackson. Not sure if it was '5' easy pieces as I have not listened to it for years.




Just listened to the linked file.
It sounds familiar and reminds me, of why I haven't listened to it for so long .

I remember when that album came out, but never got a chance to hear it.

Its one of those cds that I dig but wish was recorded at a different time than the "DDD" age of 1988. Hamish Stuart, Steve Ferrone, Anthony Jackson and Renee Geyer , great band with some of my favorite players, bit a little too much 80's sheen for me. I still have a Geyer solo album from the early 80's on vinyl that I wish they would re-release on CD one of these days. Might be the only band I remember A.J. being a member of.

You're right about that eighties sound, but AJ's basslines make it worth listening to these recordings.
Those fills at the end of "whenever you're ready" are awesome!
But thanks again for helping me out and confirming that it is AJ.

I was checking out some Grover Washington Jr. live and was floored by how funky the bass was, and the ridiculous licks that were being thrown in, and then I caught a glimpse of Anthony Jackson laying it down, sitting in the back of the stage. It was too good not to share with TalkBass:

This is bad ass...Grover w/ Gadd, MacDonald, Richard Tee, Eric Gale & AJ.
That Fender Jazz I have seen on the back cover of an early Eyewitness album (IIRC, Blades).
If unfamliar, pick up those early Eyewitness albums. They were somewhat recently re-issued...3 albums on 2-cds.
