Beste Mordante,

 

Eindelijk iemand die deze grootheid noemt. Vanaf dag een mijn inspiratie en idool geweest om bas te gaan spelen. Zoals Jaco was is niemand. Jaco heeft dingen uitgevonden op de bass die niemand eerder wist.

 

buiten een wereldbassist (de beste ooit geweest) ook een geniale componist. Zijn tijdloze melodieen zullen nog altijd voortvloeien in de jazz/fusion scene. Ik vind het nog steeds verschrikelijk dat ik deze grootheid nooit live heb kunnen meemaken.

 

Groeten,

Bas

Beste Scat-man,

 

Ja het is heel triest hoe Jaco er op het laatst bijstond. Heb nog enkele les video's gezien met hem, die eienlijk al niet meer konden :D Stond te trippen op zijn benen. Op het laatst smijt ie zijn Fender jazzbass naar de drummer.

 

Zelfde soort gezien met Steve Gadd. Totaal strak van de drugs moet ie een lesvideo in elkaar zetten. Zit ie daar in zo'n vaag gewaad :D whahwah :D

 

Geloof dat steve gadd wel van de drugs af is voerigens..

 

Groeten,

Bas

On August 10 in 1918, Arnett Cobb was born. He was an African-American jazz tenor saxophonist.

From Houston, Texas, Arnett Cleophus Cobb was taught piano by his grandmother and went on to study violin before taking up tenor saxophone in the high school band. When he was fifteen he joined Louisiana band leader Frank Davis's band doing shows in Houston and throughout Louisiana during the summer. He worked with trumpeter Chester Boone for two years and left to play with Milton Larkin in 1936. Cobb played with Larkin's band for six years while it toured the country; its clubs included the Apollo Theatre in Harlem and the Rhumboogie Club in Chicago owned by boxer Joe Louis.

 

Cobb turned down an offer from Count Basie in 1939 but in 1942 accepted an offer from Lionel Hampton to take Illinois Jacquet's seat. Although his fans doubted that anyone could successfully replace Jacquet, within a short time Cobb became as popular. Hampton rerecorded his theme song, Flying Home No. 2, with Cobb as the featured soloist, and the excitement brought out by his uninhibited, blasting style earned him the label "Wild Man of the Tenor Sax." He was a major player in the Hampton band for five years. He left Hampton in 1947 and formed his own small group, which recorded a series of singles, including the hits Dutch Kitchen Bounce, Big Red's Dreams, and When I Grow Too Old to Dream.

 

After only seven months on the road Cobb was forced to disband the group and undergo spinal surgery and a long hospital stay because of Pott's disease, a tubercular condition of the vertebrae. He recovered and reorganized his group in 1950 and resumed touring in 1951. In 1956 he became permanently disabled as a result of a car crash. Doctors advised against it, but a year later he was performing coast to coast, although from this time on, he could not walk without crutches. In 1959, Cobb moved from New Jersey back home to Houston permanently.

 

From 1960 onwards he managed Club Ebony, performed locally with his own band and with other famous jazz performers, and toured to New York and Europe, all between stints in the hospital. Cobb received a Grammy nomination in 1979 for best jazz instrumental performance and shared a Grammy with B. B. King in 1984 for best traditional blues performance. In 1986 he founded the Jazz Heritage Society of Texas, which established the Jazz Archives at the Houston Public Library. Arnett Cobb died in Houston on March 24, 1989, and was survived by his daughter.

On August 17 in 1917, John Lee Hooker was born. He is an African-American blues singer and pioneer of the art form.

 

The Hook (as he is sometimes called) was a Clarkdale, Mississippi native. His stepfather, Will Moore, planted the beginnings for his eerily mournful guitar sound while John Lee was in his teens. Hooker had been singing spirituals before that, but the blues took hold and never let go. Traditional symbols left their mark on the style in youth, too; legends like Blind Lemon Jefferson, Charley Patton, and Blind Blake, who all knew Moore.

 

Hooker tried out Memphis while he was still in his teens, but he couldn't gain much of a foothold there. So he relocated to Cincinnati for seven years before making the big move to the Motor City in 1943. Here he became one of the best on the Detroit blues circuit following World War II. Work was plentiful, but Hooker drifted away from day gigs in favor of playing his unique free-form brand of blues. A mushrooming club scene along Hastings Street played in favor of his talents. In 1948, an aspiring Hooker with entrepreneur Bernie Besman, who helped him produce his solo debut releases, Sally Mae and Boogie Chillen.

 

This was blues as primitive as anything then on the market; only his own ringing, heavily amplified guitar and insistently pounding foot backed Hooker
