It both has been & is a well-known fact amongst musicians:
AJ rulez.
1 of the godfather's of modern bass.
But then that was never in question.

Amen to that, Steve! Have you guys heard the Michel Camilo big band cd "on the other hand" (I think) with Anthony and Cliff?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The title is "One more once". I agree, this CD is awesome!

For me, a "close to perfection drums+bass" groove match is on Michel's "Rendez-Vous".

Anthony sounds awesome with Gadd, Brechtlein, Weckl and Almond. It's like if the Gadd or "strongly Gadd" influenced style fits him perfectly.

yeah Terry I was the best man at Roger's wedding. We've stayed really close and he's taught me a lot about drumming and music.

I've been singing his praises here on the kit forever. He's one of the best players anywhere IMO. Hopefully he'll get a gig that showcases those talents.

A.J rules!!!
first time hearing him play is on a Steely dan record and then on Donald Fagen's "Nightfly" album.one of my favourite albums ever.features S.Jordan and Gadd if i remember well.it's amazing all the way through.great songs and playing all over the place.
check "the nightfly" which should be track #5:late J.porcaro and A.J laying down a great groove. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

Yeah,

Anthony Jackson is one of my favourite Bass players, too.

One of my favourite tracks is on Jorge Dalto's CD "NY Nightline". The way he and Gadd perform "Manteca" is absolutely awesome!

Hi Guys,

Yeah, Anthony is great with Camillo, but you have to listen Chick Corea's "Leprechaun" !!!
A song name "Nite Sprite", that's the real deal.
Steve Gadd on drums for one of his best performance to me.
And Weckl named one of his band "Nite Sprite" because this song...

Have fun.
Peace.

Nite Sprite is CLASSIC Gadd-Jackson.
If you get The Leprechaun, you may have to skip Gayle's vocals though [img]wink.gif[/img] .
