Notable 16th note players

[Clark W]

2. Ralph Armstrong with Jean Luc Ponty;

That wore my fingers out just listening to it. Thanks for sharing!

 

[Tim Skaggs]

I don't know much about this band other than they're pretty funky. Been digging these songs latelly

This is definitely what I had in mind....

 

[funkinbottom]

Well, you would probably dig this as well. Strokeland Superband.

Do you mean that old junkie? What was his name... Paco? Flaco? hmmm... Some tune named "Go on go over", "Sea people"?

Taco, I think. Taco Bell, maybe.

Check out Doug Johns. He plays Rocco style better than Rocco does.

 

[Element Zero]

Felipe is the man. Been a fan of his for awhile now.

 

[Michedelic]

Gerald Johnson. Most notably on Steve Miller's "The Joker". He joined Dave Mason's band after that. Just mind boggling.

THIS is the track...

Duck Dunn

Which song? Except for maybe parts of “Time Is Tight” or very occasionally the odd run here or there, Duck was always Mr. Slow And Steady Wins The Race.
However, Dee Dee Ramone, and William Mysterious of the Rezillos, were kings of the 16th...


David Sancious, at 18, was an early member of Bruce’s E Street Band. A wicked keyboard player(and hot guitarist), he branched out on his own, and eventually played with Jack Bruce, among many others. This is from his first album, the fun starts at 2:10; Gerald Carboy on bass...

Don’t forget Jerry Scheff on the Door’s “LA Woman”, Norbert Putnam on Tony Joe White’s “Polk Salad Annie”, and a good chunk of what Billy Cox did with Hendrix, especially at the end of “EZ Ryder”.

“She Caught The Katy” from the Blues Brothers. Very busy for Duck

George Porter Jr putting his touch on a Woody bassline?

 

[Les Fret]

I started the same topic a few months ago. I see many of the same clips here. Good info there: Favorite fast sixteenth note bass grooves?

 

[Basshappi]

I sure miss Allen Woody.
