Found it earlier when I was warming up to see Manhattan Transfer in concert tonight. They were stunningly off the hook, by the way... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=8xro0lpukfs&NR=1 pauldo Senior Member Username: pauldo Post Number: 870 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Monday, August 20, 2012 - 10:58 am:    I've never seen that one before - GREAT bass line! :-D terryc Senior Member Username: terryc Post Number: 1952 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Monday, August 20, 2012 - 12:44 pm:    Nice classic song done very well indeed, that Alembic has a very acoustic bass sound adriaan Moderator Username: adriaan Post Number: 2961 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Monday, August 20, 2012 - 2:12 pm:    That's Alex Blake on bass. I saw him with Randy Weston two years ago (time really flies these days) - he sure knows how to handle a bass. bigredbass Senior Member Username: bigredbass Post Number: 1917 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Monday, August 20, 2012 - 9:45 pm:    Wonderful bass work; it's one of thosde cases where you think 'well you can't sound like an . . . . . . with one of those', and then, somebody forgot to tell THAT guy. Nice. I just love Manhattan Transfer, but they're definitely one of those things where you just think, 'man, I'll NEVER be that cool. . . .'.

It's like a quarry here LOL jzstephan Intermediate Member Username: jzstephan Post Number: 114 Registered: 1-2012 Posted on Tuesday, August 21, 2012 - 12:55 pm:    That's not an Alembic bass. Clearly an acoustic bass. jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 3117 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, August 23, 2012 - 9:56 am:    Yeah the clue is in the text "Their original studio recording superimposed upon a live performance, and Route 66 scenery."
