Sample And Hold – Bruford

Bass Player: Jeff Berlin

 Try this sucker. Sample and Hold from the Feels Good To Me album. This took so much slowing down to find the notes (25%). It is basically unplayable by mere mortals. The problem I have with a lot of these tunes is that, learnign to play the bass parts is fundamentally a waste of time because you will never find a drummer/percussionist/keyboard player/guitarist to play the other parts 😃 Interesting to see how the lines evolve though.

It is understood that, when Bill Bruford was putting the band together, he chose Berlin for the bass chair as there was no-one in the UK that could have played the charts. When you listen to this one, you may agree. Does anyone know anyone that could have cut it?
