Bass Player: Jeff Berlin

Another Jeff Berlin performance from the Bruford LP ‘Gradually Going Tornado’. Another bass sound that Bilbo would look to emulate consciously or subconsciously. Unsurprisingly, Jeff Berlin was a big fan of Jack Bruce also so this is not at all surprising. This is a full transcription of Jeff’s bass part to the tune ‘The Sliding Floor’. Some tricky sections in this one. Bars of 11/8 (at least, that is how we hear it) and sections of changing time signatures. This is also one of the tunes that Jeff sings on. We always thought his voice was actually pretty good – better than many Prog band warblers!!
