The best bass player you have ever heard

Holy Crap! I forgot to put him on the list! His "School Days" album was the serious joint for my senior high school days. Classic!

East River Drive is one of my all-time favorites. Too commercial for most people but he deserves to have success after all the years he gave us.

Jazz guys get all the love of course as they get to show off more.
But John Paul Jones was the perfect foil for Pagey and was a very big part of why Zep was so different.
And he had Jack Bruce to thank for that concept.

very impressive - thank you for sharing!

John Paul Jones didn't mind being in the background. When I saw Zeppelin the only thing I remember about Jones is his organ playing. When I saw Stanley Clarke there may have been seating for 75 max. Both experiences are burned in my memory but the intimacy of Clarke stands out.

I might describe JPJ as filling the canvas in the spaces between guitar vocals and drums. keys stand out by their nature.

I think it is ridiculous that someone turns us onto a relatively unknown player, - and a bunch of boomers have to link to some of the most well known bass players to ever pick up an instrument like it is news or something

I LOVE this cover. I wish Pagey were working the board for this.

JPJ did a project with the first female singer (Elle Marja Eira) a singer songwriter for Norway who incorporates indigenous singing into her stuff. Her family has been herding reindeer for generations. There are some you tubes available, not the best quality sadly. Kind of English/Norwegian folk fusion.

I would live to see him work with the native New Zealand girl singer (Mihirangi).that girl can wail !

If the kid learns to play WITH other musicians I'll be more impressed.

I'm old. I try to keep up with the new players but I don't fit in at the shows anymore.

You're right. JPJ earned his place in history.

Oh! This guy had to be inspired by the one and only Justin Johnson who created the one stringers and now teaches people online how to make them.

Justin is King of all guitars no matter how many strings!

Sweet
