The band's solos aren't much good so skip forward towards the end.
I was an ebass student in Boston. I went to see Pat Metheny, who was still a student at Berklee, playing with Dave Holland. Dave Holland didn't show up. Instead it was some guy on ebass. After the first tune I said to myself, this man is the best in the world on this instrument. I knew I would never catch up.pinball1970 said:He was a strange one but no one played bass like him.

Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead had the same experience. He said, "I thought maybe I should take up the drums instead."
Jaco Pastorius. It may have been his first appearance in Boston. He had short hair then.pinball1970 said:Who was the "some guy?"
Hornbein said:Patrick Bartley Junior. Best alto sax player on Earth today? Either him or Saori Yano.

Hornbein said:My favorite drummer. I had no idea he could do this. He's even better at big band than Senri Kawaguchi.
When I saw Dennis the slickest thing he did was retard with one hand while keeping a steady rhythm with the other.

Like Hiromi Uehara with more swing.
2.40 look at that left hand! Wow. Loved it.pinball1970 said:That totally makes up for Dennis Chambers.
4.03 Right hand, classical training, finesse. Left hand jazz madness, left foot, steady bass drum, great sound. 24 inch Ludwig. Buddy would approve.pinball1970 said:That totally makes up for Dennis Chambers.
