Sunday Album Open Thread: SuperBass 2
Submitted by enhydra lutris on Sun, 03/05/2017 - 3:00pm
Some Albums really stood out for one reason or another, but never seemed to get the recognition they deserved. There are others that I just like to play every once in a while.
SuperBass 2; Ray Brown, Christian McBride & John Clayton
I couldn't find the album on You Tube, so I built one from all of the tracks in the proper order
Naturally, this is an open thread too.

Ray Brown, by one estimate, played on more record dates
than anyone else. He was sought after in the 1940's as a master bop bassist and became one of the first to have a tune based on one of his bass riffs, "One Bass Hit" by Dizzy Gillespie, parts 1 & 2 on a Musicraft 78(# 404 if you're keeping count). Ray Brown co-wrote with Diz "Ray's Idea" also on Musicraft(487).
He was in and out of groups for the rest of his career but he was always in demand and available for recording sessions. He was able to add to any group in a variety of styles and had a long career.

I find daylight savings time to ba a misnomer and a royal PITA,
hence I never have paid any attention to its dates (which do change every now and then anyway) and just do what I'm told. I used to just leave the car radio to standard time, in fact.

He was also one hell of a bass player. ;-)

I have all the respect in the world for him. He was versatile
and always had a strong sense of swing. He also knew he didn't have to play all he knew on every song so he wasn't one for showing off his great technique unless it fit the tune. I think his playing is logical while working very well with whatever drummer he was paired with. A giant...
