Anthony Jackson playing "Not Yet" by Michel Camilo
In case anyone still questions the greatness of Anthony Jackson, this track will clear any doubts. The first time I heard this I had to have my jaw re-attached to my skull. This is "Not Yet" by the great Michel Camilo, as originally played on his debut CD as a band leader, the now rather hard-to-find "Why Not?", recorded in 1985. Granted, the more recent big band version of the same tune is now probably better known than this original version, yet to me, while the big band arrangement is impressive and beautifully played, it lacks the "cojones" from the original version. What you are about to hear makes me think Anthony Jackson must be superhuman. The bass track is a fast locomotive going downhill with no brakes! It is unstoppable!

Master contrabass guitarrist and pioneer Anthony Jackson is without a doubt one of the most important musicians to have played on the electric bass, or as he prefers to call it, the contrabass guitar. Here's a collection of Anthony Jackson pictures, together with the track titled "Grand Slam" from the METRO CD, which features an incredible Anthony Jackson bass line. It was truly hard to pick ju...

    It's certainly easier to appreciate his talent in this original version, but the big band one is my top#1 song of all times. The quality of all of it is unsurpassable.

    I'm not sure that being old has many advantages. In my case, though, it has had a few, one being that I got to play keyboard along with Mr. Jackson, in a high school band. (I can't remember if he was a year behind me or not..) but whereas he went home and practiced his ass off........I didn't! And so, he got better and better.......and I got...a.....little.....better.......but.......nothing.......like......him.....and it took me a helluva lot longer. I do remember fondly, that he used to love to play a tune I had written called Jack the Ripper, and he would play the melody along with me. He was even damn good back when he was 16 or 17.

    The first time I saw Anthony Jackson in a 1986 interview in Guitar Player Magazine, I knew I had to have a six string bass. Got my first one in 1998. Hard to go back to four string basses after you play a six string bass.

      Indeed. I lived in the village (beneath the restaurant at 29 Cornelia St.) in the mid-80s, about a block away from 55 Bar and 3 blocks from 7th Ave South (Michael Brecker's club). I got to see him quite often, and he's more other-worldy...in-person. Flawlessly getting back to his signature, downbeat-oriented groove after so cleanly doubling those "licks", is/was just YIKES! :-)
