Must agree that Manring's Att. Deficit stuff is groovin' as #@^%$***!!! Unfortunately some of his other stuff hits the Kenny G gag reflex. Attention Deficit is as good as or better than any project connected w/these 3 guys. Life is short Att. Deficit never does gigs... it's a crime! Anyone who digs challenging head warping instrumental rock should be nagging the heck out of Manring, Skolnick and Alexander to get out and play or at least record some more. Same holds true for Massacre (Frith/Laswell/Hayward). Both units can crunch through the skull and sear a deep brand into the brain.
Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why?
I like Paul Chambers for his groove and arco. Sam Jones for his Time. Rufus Reid becaues he taught me. Jaco because of the absolute passion. Christian McBride because he's the MAN righ now--and he's the director of the Brubeck Institute at the University of the Pacific, which is my Alma Mater; Ron Carter because of everything he's recorded; George Maraz because of his soul; Richard Davis because of his intensiity; Reggie Workman due to his authenticity; Lonnie Plaxico because of his work with he Jazz Messengers; Scott LaFaro--BECAUSE HE'S THE BEST! (Eddie Gomez and Chuck Isreal are cool, too!). Who're you 'un?
