JACO PASTORIUS |
Being a bassist, I was totally unprepared the first time I heard Jaco on bass. The record was 'Heavy Weather' by Weather Report, and it blew me apart. View my 'tribute' page to Jaco. You can then jump to the official Jaco Pastorius site from there. |

CREAM |
What can I say about the first power trio. Wish I had been there! It’s so good that these three musical giants got back together again for a few concerts. Get the DVD - it's great. |
 |
ERIC CLAPTON |
Wish I was a legend in my own lifetime! This guy just seems to be getting better and better every day!...and he was brilliant decades ago! |
 |
JACK BRUCE |
My first bass hero and second musical hero. What more can I say about Jack Bruce. A total musician in all ways....never the same, always exploring the many avenues of music that Jack, and only a few like him, can do. RIP Jack: 14th May 1943-25th Oct 2014. May your bass boom across the universe. |

DAVID BOWIE |
He was good wasn't he... A true talent, and as all great musos, his music will never die. Even if he just left it at Space Oddity / Man Who Sold The World - that would have been good enough for me. |
 |
STING |
Always enjoyed the music of Sting. From his days with the 'Police' when he wrote some 'commercial' gems and then to his solo albums, blending a rich mixture of pop-jazz. A great singer, muso and composer. |
 |
JOHN McLAUGHLIN |
I always considered this genius about ten years ahead of everybody else when it came to creating and playing music on the guitar. One of the greatest. |
 |
STEVE HUNTER |
...And there's also a heap of great bassist's out there in the world today who know all the licks, chops etc and Steve here has all that - but he also has tons of 'Feel' in his playing and you can sense it when you see this guy on stage. A brilliant bassist and composer who has paid his dues with some top-name muso's. |
 |
STANLEY CLARK |
'Stan the Man' - Another brilliant bassist who was a driving force with Chick Corea in the 'Return To Forever' days. If you do not have his 'School Days' album do yourself a favour and get it. |
 |
ROY ORBISON |
After watching the 'Black & White Night' on DVD and listening to the voice and the original innovative songs such as "In Dreams, Running Scared, Crying" and heaps of others I realized what a genius the 'Big O' was - but I always knew that anyhow. |

SOHO |
Some intelligent people put a big video camera between the earth and the sun (where gravity from the sun and the earth is equal) and keeps a constant eye on it. Making sure its not going to explode or something like that. |

STANLEY KUBRICK |
One of my favorite directors - made some classics, not too many, but classics....and it seems that every generation has a Dr. Strangelove - or check out the full movie script from here. |
