there’s a really cool interview with Trip Wamsley over at www.talkbass.com at the moment - Trip is a fantastic solo bassist, with a new CD out called ‘It’s Better This Way’, that I can’t recommend highly enough - head over to his site to get a copy, he’s very good indeed. The interview is marvellous, written by Max Valentino (another fine solo bassist), and mentions me a few times, which is nice, but not the only reason why it’s a cool interview - for someone who is clearly as mad as a sack-full of badgers, Trip makes a lot of sense in interviews.
Soundtrack - right now, Bill Frisell, ‘Ghost Town’ (another one of my most listened to albums in my whole life - at one point is spent a few weeks both in my CD player and my Minidisc player, so I was permanently listening to it), before that, Horace Silver, ‘Jazz Masters’; Mary Chapin Carpenter, ‘Time, Sex, Love’; Ghost 7, ‘New Directions In Static’; Joe Burcaw, ‘Dichotomy Theorem’ and Chris Bowater, ‘Still’ - I played on this one, the session was a couple of months back, and Dan Bowater who engineered and co-produced it has done a fantastic job - it’s a worship/devotional/gospel album, and I play loads of melodic fretless stuff on there, and a few bits of Ebowed ambient stuff that blends right in with the keyboards and string pads. Very nice stuff.
