Jeff Berlin?

[bobe]

One solo of Jeff's from the Bruford era is Palewell Park from Gradually Going Tornado. I still think it is one of his best recorded solos. Tasty.

Jaco had admitted to Jeff that he was the one guy that could solo better than he, but also said he would never tell the press that.

Here is some classic footage of Jeff and Jaco soloing..

Jaco wasn't exactly at his prime during that recording.

Nope, turning up to the show without a bass, it's almost sad!

Jeff rocks! I love what he does on "Marabi", among others.

I'm a belated Jeff fan - I don't agree with everything he says and I don't like all of his music - but he IS an amazing bass player and a very musical guy at heart - I actually wish he would play more band stuff and stop just doing demos all the time - he should put himself in a band context more often - and as he's such an anti-slap guy (I'm starting to sympathise with him believe it or not) those trade shows must be torture - the amount of slap bass is like hearing distant gunfire in a war zone - with a frightning lack of melody - stick at it Jeff!

He does have a band that he plays with all the time. It's his trio with Danny Gottlieb and Richard Drexler

Here's a video.
15 minutes into it, Miroslav Vitous comes out and plays too.

Yeah I have that bookmarked

However the drummer nowadays is Paul Wertico.
Weird. Replaced Danny Gottlieb in the Pat Metheny Group, and now replacing him (I don't know for how long) in the Jeff Berlin Trio..

Makes sense though, because Wertico used to play with Larry Coryell who is very good friends with Jeff Berlin.
