How about Paul Jackson and Harvey Mason
Louis Johnson and Harvey Mason
Will Lee and Harvey Mason
Anthony Jackson and Harvey Mason
Anthony Jackson and Steve Gadd
Anthony Jackson and Steve Ferrone
Anthony Jackson and Dave Weckl

BTW can you imagine being a teenager and playing with Dave Garibaldi or Clyde Stubblefield?

not hearing of the minutemen is only showing me your lack of interest in listening to other bands besides the garbage im sure youve been listening to for, what, 15, 20 years, take your oldie garbage somewhere else, you should buy all the minutemen cds you can, theyre the only band with a real rythym section. i mentioned them because no one else did, im tired of seeing 30 or 40 people post the same damn names up and say how great the same people are over and over and at the same time never recognize people that played in the late 70s early 80s underground punk, yes punk, before it got all stale and messed up, scene. thats real music, not doing it for money or some other commercial reason.

Yeah Jim I was gettin' ready to flame you for those lame choices but the Qintar beat me to it.

Now that I think of it, my choices are really lame, just a bunch of lame jazzers and blues men. I'm gonna run out and buy every "minutemn" [sic] CD I can find so I can hear what a real rythym section sounds like. I must be especially lame because I've never even heard of the "minutemn".

Qintar, calm down there man.. telling people to "take their oldie garbage somewhere else" isn't going to win you any converts.
That said, Watt and Hurley were as dynamic as ANY jazz rhythm section. If, like MM back there, you've never listened to the Minutemen, you should.. "Double Nickels on the Dime" is all you need. Those guys were punk, funk, jazz and rock all rolled into one, and the interplay between the instruments rivals the best jazz combos.. take it from me, I've listened to both sides.

Being the curious type I have to ask: do you remember the original question?

Hi guys just wanted to know if any of you have a favorite rythym section bass & drum duo

I think the "you" in the post refers to anyone who answers. If someone has a personal favorite why would that put a bug up your a$$?

Just curious. I wouldn't call your choices lame, they're just your choices. Did we miss something?

I also wouldn't call Powerman 5000 a lack of willingness to listen to anything new. Even the guys in Minutemen ( I may have to check them out someday) would list "their favorites" as people they grew up admiring, so lighten up. Chances are, Qintar, when you reach middle-age, you'll be ranting at young whelps like yourself that The Minutemen were far better than the "new junk kids listen to today". No need to get emotional on a personal preference thread.

I has nothing to do with "middle age"
...the thing is-
I wasn't into any(?)of the guys I mentioned back when I was 16. As you continue to play & learn, hopefully, some "growth" will be a by-product. After all, none of us still read Mother Goose, right?
Back then, I loved John Paul Jones...I still do; IMO, he was jamming/improv-ing those lines. Thirty years later, one can still hear JPJ playing with an edge.
I've done a little listening & studying...so as I played & learned, I went back & investigated who the "masters" might be. Take, for example, Jimmy Blanton; damn, he played(albeit briefly)in '39-'41...I ain't that damn old!
biggrin.gif

The point is, & Brad had a nice post about lineage(somewhere),...trace BACK into time to "discover" who influenced the guys you dig TODAY. There's a wealth of education/music along the way. A lotta guys at this site talk about being "in a box"; S***, they're putting themselves in there!

Qintar-
If you're into Punk, good...find the "best" & asks yourself what makes that someone the "best". That's cool.
Personally, Punk never floated my boat; rhythmically, it never moved me to search into it. So what! By the same token, I don't really expect you to like all the Free/Avant garde S*** I'm into, either. It's no biggie.

...meanwhile, I think I'm gonna go back & re-read the Mike Watt(cover)of BASS PLAYER mag.
Hasta...

So the Minutemen are from the late '70's-early '80's? Since this is 2000 doesn't that make them 20 years old. So aren't you listening to oldies? So what's your point?

Three that come to mind,without thinking too deeply,and in no paticular order."Pops"Popwell and Stix Hooper(Crusaders Images),Chuck Rainey,Steve Gadd and Ralph McDonald(percussion)This"section" was together for Ralph McDonalds solo album.What a show-Richard Tee and the whole "stuff" gang.Pino Paladino and Terry Bozio(live backing Jeff Beck!)

I'd have to go with Tony Levin and Bill Bruford/Jerry Marotta, with King Crimson and Peter Gabriel respectively. TLev is one of the best bass players out there because he can play comparatively simple yet completely non-obvious lines that complement the music perfectly. In the dense mixes that characterized '80s Crimson and pretty much everything Gabriel's ever done, his tone and his style are perfect. Bill Bruford and Jerry Marotta are also the only two drummers I can think of who can get your butt moving in an odd time signature.

I registered on this forum just to post a reply to this thread.Ain't Mike Watt around 46 yrs. old?Didn't the Sex Pistols try to tour a few years ago?For the money?
Anyway,I'd like to add Kenny Gradney and Ritchie Hayward of Little Feat to the list.And Berry Oakley and Butch Trucks and Jaimo.I'm not talking ancient history,am I?

Great Job Guy's! This thread really took off Im glad to see about 98% of us are really open minded about the music we listen to. Theres alot of awesome choices, some I have heard of others I have not but Im not going to bash anyones choices, if anything Im going to go out and get some of this music I never heard of after all aint the discovery of something new or old part of the enjoyment. Hell im 37 yrs young and whats in my cd changer right now is Johnny Cash American Recordings, Best of Atlanta Rythym Section, Chilipeppers Califoniacation, Sevendust, Stanley Clark School days, Devo greatest hits. Point being give everything a good listen not everything old is outdated and lame i find that something I wasn't into 15 yrs ago is new and refreshing today. Thanx for all the responce.....
