Gordy writes about a session where Jamerson wouldn't play the requested downbeat stuff but add touches and twists all over the place. He's about to throw him out, gives him a last chance to play straight, staring at him during the first bars, relaxing as he hears him "behave", turns away and -badaboom- hears an outer space lick thrown in, Jamerson all smiles, whole studio smiles and Gordy smiles too because he can't other but like what he just heard. > > Burkhard, you play bass too? > > It's my favourite instrument, yes :-) How do you go about recording it? Whatever bass I record always sounds crap, no face, no nrrrk. Wolfgang
