Does someone out there know if there are any hidden meanings in the song `The
Secret Message' of Sting (on Nothing like the Sun [sparc :) ])?   I am going to
play music at a marriage somewhere in the middle of next year, and I planned to
include a couple of songs with/about marriage, like Jan Hammer's `The Wedding'
which is on one of the Miami Vice albums.  I obviously do not want to play any
songs that would be offensive.

Oh, what do you know about jazz?  If none of these people ever played
with Dave Mustaine, none of them could *possibly* even qualify.
Heavens.

The two times I saw John in the 80s he was doing his newer stuff, but did do
solo acoustic interludes between sets.  I really like the electric stuff,
although the *material* has been weak lately (like since "Well Kept Secret"). 
The first album he did with Phil, "Grave and Danger", I think is one of his
best ever, but it does have much more of a fusion jazz feel than the followups.
I do sorta miss the folkish stuff, though.  

Some of the new songs are much better in person than on vinyl, "John Wayne"
being a case in point...he was doing it live before he recorded it and I
remember being quite bowled over, it was downright ferocious. His electric
direction was not a big surprise if you listen to "One World" or "Inside Out"
he was experimenting with electronics back in 73.

What I really miss is being able to buy his albums!  "The Apprentice" never
showed in the US, "Foundations" I bought as a cutout a month after it was
released, I can't find the new one and none of the Island stuff is being
reissued. Yecchhh....

 I could have sworn that David Byrne was in the audience at the Television
concert here in L.A.  It seems as though he has grown out his hair and 
bleached it to a silvery blonde; doubtful it was a wig.  Nobody seemed to 
recognize him, guess the new look works.  BTW, I am 99.99% sure it was him, 
since  I have seen him at various times in the Santa Monica area over the 
past couple of years.

Yeah, but y'see, Dave, that query about Animal Logic wasn't an actual 
request for information, but yet another bit of irony, apparently 
undetected on your part, poking fun at the whole idea of compiling a 
list of black bassists.  That is at least part of the reason why Ray

Nope, none of us do.  But if you (on anyone else) hasn't heard 'em,
I strongly recommend either "Mingus Ah Um" or "Charles Mingus presents
Charles Mingus" as an introduction.  Much better than Animal Logic. :)

There haven't been any good lists here for almost two weeks, and there's
a lot of comments flying around about S/N ratio and lack of informational
content in posts. So here's a list of my top 10 famous jazz bassists. 

Why are they my top 10? Because I could remember them. Why are they famous? 
Because I've heard of them and actually even have recordings with them 
playing. Some of them have probably even won reader polls in Downbeat, 
but I wouldn't know fer sure... Anyway, here's the list:  
 
1.  Stanley Clark
2.  Mingus
3.  Boosty (not really a jazz bassist, but I love saying "Boosty") :^)  
4.  Slam Stewart **
5.  Charlie Haden
6.  Jaco Pastorius  
7.  Ron Carter
8.  Jamaldeen Tacuma 
9.  Steve Swallow 
10. Marcus Miller  

** Bonus points to anyone who knows who Slam Stewart is and who can identify
any recordings he is on.
