Never was a fan of this one. I'm not a fan of bass solos to begin with but Chambers' bass solos on this LP just don't thrill me and when he pulls out that bow... ugh.

We are completely opposite in that regard lol.

He's no Ray Brown when it comes to arco but it didn't bother me. He's a sincere player and it came across that way to me. I enjoyed the whole mood and atmosphere of the album.

Bowing is funny, and comes in a lot of different ways. What I don't like is players who obviously have not yet gotten a grip on the basics. Chambers obviously had that, so from there, it's just listening to the lines, and there as well, they add up, good thoughts well-executed.

Some take issue with his tone, that it's a little "thin" in comparison to "classical" standards, and sure, it is. But that's not a factor unless it becomes one, and I don't let it become one because Paul Chambers is playing the way he wants to, the way he hears it. He knows what he's doing and why. It's not like the guy didn't have training, you know.

You know, there's always room for improvement, but Paul Chambers is dead now, so not for him. Improvement is for the living.

I like everything Paul Chambers does almost every time.

Did they include "Thriller" on the CD?  That was the most memorable performance when I saw them performing that music in concert.

Now playing:

which contains three radio broadcasts:  from Sardi's in Hollywood, 1956 (the announcer for this broadcast sounds like he attended the Ronald Colman Academy for High Class Elocution), and two from Brant Inn in Burlington, Ontario ("down the lakeshore from the steel city of Hamilton"), one in '59 and the last in '60.

I knew this was going to happen. I just need to hear that Basie groove. Chose this one, and there may be more. . . .
