The bass player sensibly using an alembic bass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI3bK3JXmJU Doing a return to forever covers gig on bass is something close to the top of my bucket list. I wonder if I can rent a series I short scale bass if I find musicians to do such a gig before I acquire my own. :-) Jazzyvee hankster Advanced Member Username: hankster Post Number: 359 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2014 - 3:33 pm:    Those are brave men. I remember doing "500 miles high" and "Spain" with a band when I was in my 20's. It felt great, but I know that my valiant efforts on my Les Paul bass were, well, pathetic. I would not have the stuff to try this in public now.

We will be doing Al Jarreau's version but as an instrumental.

And a super cool dude/monster bass player. jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 3988 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, May 01, 2014 - 5:02 am:    Wow, I wonder if he has any scores for return to forever music?

I could ask, though. terryc Senior Member Username: terryc Post Number: 2200 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Friday, May 02, 2014 - 1:47 am:    Once did 'Vulcan Worlds' years ago, my solo was no where near as good as Stan's and the sweat poured out of me like a river! jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 3990 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, May 02, 2014 - 2:51 am:    I've done The duel of the Tyrant and the Jester, Sorceress and we almost did Hymn of the seventh galaxy but I was overruled on the run up to the gig.

I was under the impression that there are only 12 notes. jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 3991 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, May 02, 2014 - 4:17 am:    I'm crazy too as I can't always get those 12 notes together in a way that makes good music. :-) Jazzyvee davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 11319 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, May 02, 2014 - 2:27 pm:    Nice!
