Hardbopjazz Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) Sonny Rollins from last night in Newark, New Jersey 13th of May, 2011. What kind of bass is Bob Cranshaw playing? Edited May 15, 2011 by Hardbopjazz Quote
jazzbo Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) Looks as if it may be a BSX bass to me, or something like it (the headstock is different): http://www.bsxbass.com/ Edited May 15, 2011 by jazzbo Quote
jazzbo Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 When I saw him last fall he had no piano, he had Bobby Broom. Quote
Spontooneous Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 I think it's Peter Bernstein on guitar, Kobie Watkins on drums. And is that Victor See-Yuen? Quote
marcello Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) That's Bob's travel bass in lieu of a acoustic. He must have been feeling randy that day. Edited May 15, 2011 by marcello Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) The band is Sonny Rollins- ts, Bob Cranshaw- b, Sammy Figueroa- perc, Peter Bernstein-g and Jerome Jennings- d Another photo It's good good to have Sonny still playing. Edited May 15, 2011 by Hardbopjazz Quote
Justin V Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 I've seen Sonny twice in the past few years and Cranshaw was on electric both times. I'd love to see him on double bass. I was hoping to see the band while Russell Malone was on board, but you can't go wrong with Peter Bernstein. Quote
brownie Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 Peter Bernstein's presence alongside Sonny Rollins is excellent news. Should bring a lively bonus to the music! Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 interesting, hope they tour my way soon, WAY OUT WEST! Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Posted May 15, 2011 interesting, hope they tour my way soon, WAY OUT WEST! In the fall Sonny will be hitting the weat coast. Quote
Caravan Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 So the boring trombone nephew is gone? Hurray! Quote
.:.impossible Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 I missed him by a day at the NOLA Jazz Fest. Same thing a few years back at the Chicago Jazz Fest. Same thing 12 years ago at Spoleto in Charleston. Always a Sunday headliner. Quote
