Yes! Harvey's GREAT! I think I'd have to sit and listen to Roger Bobo, Sam
Pilafian, Jim Self and Howard Johnson to make up my mind. I think I'd
probably favor Howard, but there are a bunch of recordings I haven't heard.
Added Instruments:That's all for now.....
- Baritone Horn: Rich Matteson or Maynard Ferguson (early recordings)
- Bass Trombone: George Roberts (Mancini's band among others)
- Contrabass Trombone: that guy from Lew Tabackin/Toshiko Akiyoshi's Big Band.
- Subcontrabass Tuba: Gerard Hoffnung
- Bass Harmonica: that Harmonicats guy (Billy Barty?)
- Bass Vocal: Thurl Ravenscroft (Tony the Tiger and "Your a Mean One, Mr. Grinch") is my fave, but there are better bass singers.
- Bass Guitar: Jaco Pastorius or Eberhard Faber or Tony Levin or......(need more time to research & decide on this one!)
- Contrabass Serpent: Doug Yeo (Only player I've heard)
