Gregory, I'm glad you liked it, I love that kind of stuff. I saw Rufus Reid last week and he mentioned Ray Brown and how he was a big influence on his playing. Ray Brown had a little trill/hammer thing he does up in the first position, I noticed Rufus Reid does the exact same thing in that first position, interesting to see the adaptation of that specific technique.
Dave, that Crimson stuff was great! I used to listen to them a lot. I love the way they layer sounds and instruments, they use dynamics to build to high points and fall back off again as transition points in the music. I'll have to dig out my old records (yes vinyl!).
Brian, I love In a Silent Way, one of my favorite Miles tunes! I really like the bass groove in the middle with keyboards following and builds, then suddenly drops off, then quietly starts up and builds again. That's great stuff!
