Three bassists over for dinner

[-Asdfgh-]

Apparently Dave Pegg is a decent cook (he made a friend of mine lunch once), so I think I'd ask him over and make him make desert. Geddy Lee, naturally. Maybe also Bernard Georges as I've chatted with him IRL and he seems nice, or Tony Levin (ditto).

I can think of many combinations but this was the most heartwarming.

Gary King
Victor Wooten


The super smarty pants bunch:

Anthony Jackson
Michael Manring
Mick Karn

Randy Meisner (The Eagles)
Howie Epstein (Tom Petty & The Hearbreakers)
Pete Farndon (The Pretenders)

 

[Jeff Scott]

Geddy would bring the appropriate wine.

Be sure you've got a brick wall or two around at this dinner, James may need to take a break and Carol will need something to argue with while he steps away.

May I ask - does Carol have a rep as being argumentative or have I just misread that? TIA!

 

[selowitch]

Geddy would bring the appropriate wine.

Yes, he would. Geddy is a very cultured, intelligent, and thoughtful person and definitely knows how to pick a good bottle.

 

[Horty40]

Jason Newsted, Billy Gould, and Justin Chancellor.

[The Owl]

Light fuse, stand back:

Mike Watt

David J

Klaus Flouride

 

[Yonni]

May I ask - does Carol have a rep as being argumentative or have I just misread that? TIA!

Lets just say that she has a few words to say about the Jamerson legend. James Jamerson/Carol kaye dispute

Louis Johnson
Bernard Edwards
Alan Snoop Evans

I think I’d need to host dinner for a few nights.

Monday: James Jamerson,Bernard Edwards, Leon Sylvers

Tuesday: Larry Graham , Louis Johnson , Marcus Miller

Wednesday : ThunderCat, Mono Neon, Bootsy

Thursday: Paul S. Denman, John Deacon, Maurice Gibb.

Friday ladies night round 1: Esperanza Spalding , Meshell Ndegeocello, Carol Kaye

Saturday ladies night round 2: Tina Weymouth, Janice Marie Johnson, Debra Killings.

The next week I’m fasting and meditating on all this knowledge .

Jack Bruce
Lemmy
Jaco

Fill up the drinks cabinet and load up the stash box .
Retire to safe distance

Don't think Jaco would survive the night

 

[StereoPlayer]

Me. Myself and I.

 

[smarthound]

If either of the ladies I invited (#74) can't make it (I'm sure they could be tempted by far better cuisine), then I reserve the right to replace her with Suzi Quatro.

Also.... -Asdfgh- .... Don't ask Dave Pegg to make desert. It's too dry and grains of sand get stuck between your teeth.

 

[Vic Bass]

Leland Sklar

Mark King

Stanley Clarke

 

[LARAIDER]

Mingus, Johnson and Clarke. And we are having Bar B Que, Bourbon and Beer.

 

[Roger W]

honestly i wouldn't want to have people i've never met over for dinner just because I like their bass playing. that would be awkward AF for me.

My perspective as well.

 

[jsbarber]

Paul McCartney
Anthony Jackson
Jaco, retrieved from his healthy years
I believe there would be mutual respect between Anthony and Jaco over each other’s virtuosity and ability to groove, and Sir Paul’s legacy would be admired by them both.

 

[KevInDaBassment]

May I ask - does Carol have a rep as being argumentative or have I just misread that? TIA!

In short, yes. Generally centered around accrediting tracks she never played on to herself and kicking people from her forum for even questioning her on it.

 

[beatmachine pro]

sting, lemmie, and you
wait ..and jamerson

 

[etherealme]

Great thread to get the day dreaming juices going. How about a nice hang, cocktails at twilight and chill jam session with some cool cats? I'd make some espresso for Tony.

Mark Sandman
Duck Dunn
Tony Levin
