Fred Marshall's his name. He borrowed (and kept, actually) one of the Paradis Loop Delays we had and used it to great effect in his bop/free jazz quartet. He had his upright bass miked, feeding the loopdelay, then going to his amp. During more standard tunes, he would occaisionally lay down a chorus in the loop, which the drummer would keep grooving to. Meanwhile, he would bow notes to add harmonies in support of the soloist, or take solos over it himself. During the more free/improv sections he would build up textures and such. I thought it all fit in very well, a good example of loops working in rather traditional formats. hmm, now that I think about it I loaned him an echoplex prototype once for a weekend gig and never saw that one again either. He made great music with it so I guess its better than it rusting away in some gibson warehouse. Anyway, awesome band too...some of the best, most invigorating jazz I've ever seen. His son Joshie was playing sax; he's only in his early twenties and just frighteningly good. that's another story though.... kim _______________________________________________________ Kim Flint 408-752-9284 OEM Engineering kflint@chromatic.com Chromatic Research
