Bass Player: Jeff Berlin

Bilbo: ‘Oh, my giddy Aunt. This one is all over the shop. I am not at all sure whether this is an accurate transcription or a bit ‘Heath Robinson’. There are passages where there is one bar of 4:4 followed by bars of 9:16, 3:4 and 15:16. I have no idea whether this is legitimate or whether I am missing a trick but the notes are all there, just not necessarily in the right order  There is one passage in the late 80s (numbered bars) where I am not altogether sure whether I am hearing it right but, hell, these guys can play’.

Jeff Berlin’s bass part on Bruford’s ‘If You Can’t Stand The Heat’ from the LP ‘Feels Good To Me’).
