medjuck Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 I've been listening to The Complete Science Fiction Sessions. On Rock the Clock I hear what sounds like a wha-wha guitar. The musicians listed are Ornette, Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden and Ed Blackwell. Ornette plays alto and violin, Dewey, tenor and musette. All are distinguishable but I don't hear a bass (though there's a lot of bass drum). Is this just my old ears mis-hearing? Is Charlie playing wha-wha electric bass or something? What's going on?

clifford_thornton Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Haden with a wah-wah pedal was always my understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Haden with a wah-wah pedal was always my understanding. Same here.Sounds like they miked the amp almost exclusively, although at 2:32, you get the bass itself. The low note that got away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I just discovered that Haden also plays stand-uo bass with a wah-wah pedal on one cut of Keith Jarrett's "Birth" Lp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
