RIP Robbie Shakespeare on 11:10 - Dec 9 by HAYESBOY
Saw this last night.
Loved Robbie and Sly's work with Grace Jones. One of the best bassists ever.
Love the stuff they did with GJ. I once went to see her live. Assumed that S&R would be the house band. WRONG! It was a f88king backing tape. NOT impressed, left early.

Was that the show with Ernest Ranglin? Absolutely amazing show. incredible.
No it was with Nils Petter Molvaer who's a modern jazz trumpeter who does a lot of electronic stuff. It was a mad gig because they had a producer fella with a full size mixing desk on stage doing all sorts of loops. Mesmerising.
Truly a great alongside Sly. Got me looking up what happened to Puma Jones (i fancied her rotten in my late teens) only to discover she died from breast cancer 30 years ago - wtf!
