Ken,
Yup. Most likely Trevor's bass. Third paragraph up from the bottom lists Trevor having an Alembic:

"three basses (an Alembic, an Aria Pro 1000 and a Fender Jazz with a Precision neck)..."

Guitar Player magazine did an extended piece on Jamerson not too long before his death. Pictures, too. Anybody got that one?

One has to wonder what kind of pressure the Jamerson kids are under to be great bassists like their dad. What a heavy, heavy torch to carry. I hope they're happy doing it. Anybody ever hear them play?

James Jamerson Jr has a whole bushel-load of credits on pop and R&B recordings in the 80's and 90's. Although I can't think of any specific tunes right now, there were some pretty popular songs and groups in his discography. He's also heard on some of the recordings on the "Standing In The Shadows" collection / tribute to his father.
Peace,
James |

Okay, I am sorry, but how could Mr. Geddy Lee not be included in that list? Sure, he doesn't play Alembics, but his sound and style have influenced almost every newcomer in the rock genre for 20 years! Also, he is the main reason I learned to play bass. Say what you want about RUSH and their music and his voice, but hands down he is one of the most versatile players there is.
Also, I could never think of leaving off Chris Squire too! And what about Mr. Dependable, Tony Levin? |

I think we forgot to mention (in my humble opinion)the father of the "Cool" upright - Charles Mingus!
I still draw an enormous amount of inspiration to go fretless each time I listen to him. Even his simple walking Bass lines are cool. His orchestral stuff is really awesome as well.
Charles Mingus - the musician's musician (Who happens to play a mean upright!). |

Rami,
It seems like some people's appreciation for music just doesn't go back any further than what came along after 1960.
Yesterday I was checking out the Branford Marsalis recording of Coltrane's 1964 A Love Supreme suite. It's on DVD+CD - the DVD is supposed to be the hippest live jazz DVD out there, but the shop could only play me the CD and that was pretty hot in itself. Bass player by the name of Eric Revis, and the band as a whole really was playing its *ss off.
Now where's that East Coasting CD? |

Thanks for mentioning the Love Supreme DVD, adriaan. They're going to be performing it here in SF on March 12, and I'm hoping to make it, but I'll probably rent the thing sometime next week for a preview. |

Shifting gears a bit  has anyone yet picked up the Weather Report DVD - Young And Fine Live! recorded on September 29, 1978 in Germany. It's over two hours of live Jaco, Wayne, Joe, and Peter Erskine, and available from audiophileimports.com. I 'm tempted to order it, but it's $55 plus shipping, and I'd like to know what I'm in for with it.

I heard some of Branford's Love Supreme on the radio once, and thought it was very good. Please let me know what you think of the DVD (and the live show); it sounds like something that might be nice to have around the house.
Wow! A Weather Report DVD with Jaco! Yes, it would be nice to get a review; Jaco's bio indicates that, as the alcohol abuse increased, there were shows that were less than memorable. And that is a lot of money. The video clip on the audiophiles site looks very good. |

Obviously, you have to leave out many great bassists when you pick a handful to include in a book. One who greatly influenced me and inspires me still is Berry Oakley of the early Allman Bros. He generally played fairly busy lines that fit perfectly into the feel of the song. His creativity on walking lines was especially awesome. He's another one that we lost at a young age. I wonder what kinds of things he would have been playing in his late 50s.

Rich; I've always loved the Allman Brothers, and Berry Oakley's bass lines are wonderful. |
