yes , the bbc gwilym progam on jaco was cool and it was great they played at bit of the paul bley thing . the american npr ? 8 minute feature was also great , and it was really nice to hear herbert and marcus talking about their friend . sorry if i came off a bit negative but in london do you know how many electric bass players there are on the scene ??? none !!! well only laurence cottle , who is amazing . its a shame the scene isnt a bit more warm towards the instrument i love ?? but there you go .... thats life ..... thats life ??? thats sinatra !!!! cheers , mike .
Found out about this one too late. The BBC shows have a pretty short window to listen before they move to their next thing. Though, thanks for linking to the the BBC radio 3 program. I now get to listen to the Charlie Parker/ Bebop show they currently
have this week.
Just listened to that NPR interview and I can only agree with what Marcus said at the end! I doesn't matter how many times I listen to him playing...it always touched me the same way! Wow!
And, though I'm blown away it still always makes me wanna pick up my bass and play, it's amazing! Thank you forever Jaco for giving me that joy!
