Opening for Jack Bruce!

[Session1969]

That's awesome and Congratz ! I saw him play a few years ago and was in awe as to how well he played his fretless. It was amazing !

 

[DrayMiles]

I've played bass behind Jack on record and I hung out with him Pete Brown and Malcolm Bruce when he was doing the Cuicoland express stuff. I also attended a kaylee(?) wit him and his wife/manager.

I saw Vernon backstage talking to Bernie Worrell, but they looked kinda pissed off, so I didn't say hello.

I also was on the bill when they did the Dick Heckstall Smith benefit concert at the Astoria in London.

Sooooo....

Enjoy the experience, and the gig!!

D.

 

[Salamenster]

Are you serious?! HOLY RAVIOLI! Dude, you're awesome! After that epic reggae cover of Something I thought I had seen it all...

But now you're about to open for the one who inspired me to play the bass over my guitar...

The greatest blues/rock-bassist ever...

You, sir, are totally becoming my hero.

 

[KCLRbass]

You, sir, are totally becoming my hero.

Now, now. Flattery will get you everywhere, my friend, but there's no need to go overboard...

Seriously, though. I appreciate the kudos.

Don't usually like to do the direct sell, but still: I hope you'll consider checking out our records. A few already available on [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] (although I only play on Parkdale Funk 1 and Good Life), plus another one coming out in a couple of weeks AND a double LP toward the end of the summer.

I'd try my best to kiss his hands if i were you.

And get an autograph.


And a picture with him.


And play his bass.


And then drop dead, but happy.

Alright, I'm on it! Except maybe for the dying part.

 

[bassinplace]

Wow dude, that's incredibly awesome! Congrats and enjoy!

 

[pedro]

Hmm I'd steer clear of the kissing part.

 

[Winemule]

I met Cindy Blackman about 10 years ago at the RegattaBar in Cambridge, MA. She was leading a quartet. She's incredibly talented--even then it was obvious she'd picked up the torch from Tony Williams--and also very glamorous, which made her seem really intimidating...until my friend Kevin and I went up to talk with her. She's very direct, down-to-earth, and completely charmed these two jazz geeks. (I play a dumbass rock'n'roll bass player on TV, and am one in real life, but also a long-time jazz fan.)

 

[KCLRbass]

Tomorrow night!!! WOOOO!!

Can't wait.

 

[WoodyG3]

Wow! Have a blast!!!

 

[jumbodbassman]

so cool!!!!

 

[Metalbasshippy]

That's sweet!
Have a killer gig and say hi to Jack for me 8)

 

[cccy]

Say hi to Nick Cohen - If you get to meet him He is the bass player that tours with him and he is an amazing guy/killer bassist.

Will do!

 

[KCLRbass]

Spectrum Road sound checking right now. Medeski's got the Mellotron going.

So SICK!

Fair enough

I thought Jack Bruce is the bassist for Jack Bruce? Color me confused.

 

[Turock]

That's awesome. One of the giants.

 

[cccy]

I thought Jack Bruce is the bassist for Jack Bruce? Color me confused.

IIRC, Nick plays bass when J.B. plays the keys and then they do a couple of songs together.
