M`shelle is herself a skilled bass player. She must know what she`s talkin about, once this is black music played , in this case , by a white musician,and she asks if he had problems playing all that stuff.I don`t think her curiosity is strange.Racial conflicts are, unfortunately very commun. Jazz history is full of them. By one side and the other.I think musicians envolved in racial conflicts is ridiculous.All of us have a lot to learn and contribute to music new eras.Hug

This is ridiculous their tryin to talk about james jamerson for his musical mastery of the bass and some black woman comes along n turns it into a race issue...silly bitch

oh I know that ..Babbitt was the VERY first one to give all the credit to Jamerson.And he is still one of the best of his time, I think Bob Babbitt was way underrated.

Go to Babbit's web site. When he was first hired they made him sit in on Jamerson sessions just to listen and learn from Jamerson.

I remember going with a friend over to Bob Babbitt's house in Detroit as a teenager, and he would ask us to jam with him and offer us coffee which I didn't drink at the time. Ironically, I knew him then as the guy who played bass on "Scorpio" by Dennis Coffey, and being a guitar player and loving that record, he was a local legend. I didn't realize then just how important a musician he was and is.Thanks Bob for inspiring us!
