How do you like it .... ?

I didn't realize when I ordered that it was solo bass, but I do like it. The sound of the bass amp is not optimal, but most of his compositions are fairly compelling.

Weber's sound has always been distinctive.  You've got to give him that. ... But I suppose I've never found his sound terribly appealing either.

As always, different strokes and all that.

Full marks for deduction! 

I have met and had long, agreeable chats with two of this band - drummer Matt in Southport and Osian at a gig at my friend Malcolm Frazer's house.

Here's Malcolm's clip of Osian and local tenorman Liam Byrne:

Next up:

Some excellent playing here by a very young Renee Rosnes.

That is a very nice CD. I haven't played it in a while. Maybe it's time to pull it out again?

Interesting. I don't recall seeing that uncropped photo before. ... It's amazing how much cropping it and adding a blue filter transforms the image.

Nice !

I saw the Fishwicks at Swanage some years ago. With a bit of luck they will be back, once ‘normality’ returns.

That´s wonderful ! I like it so much. They sound wonderful, two tenors somehow in the Mobley tradition, and a very good piano player. Very fine bass work, only a drummer is missing. But once again, those are great musicians

Agreed! Here's some more.

Sadly, the pandemic seems to have put an end to these sessions. Malcolm used to squeeze up to 40 people into his living room, so I can't see this resuming in present conditions.
