oh my! i just learned that danny thompson has died several months ago, in september last year.
ever since i had discovered the british folk band Pentangle as a teenager in the early 80s i adored his bass playing. it was only later that i learnded about his name: Danny Thompson. and i noticed he had made a lot of great music afterwards, after pentangle.
86 is a good age. but still, i will miss his music ...

John Martyn - Solid Air
Danny Thompson, who played bass on this album—as well as lots of others—died last week.I saw Martyn live in 1985, at one of those free festivals put on by the GLC, when they were using up all the money before being disbanded by Thatcher. I think he was a bit lost on me at the time. I was waiting for Gil Scott-Heron to come on. I wish I'd appreciated it more, but there you go. Looking at the setlist, it would've been great.
I probably don’t need to say what a fine album this is.
There's a rather good docco about Martyn made by the BBC, Johnny Too Bad, which is well worth a watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0DVynJD4jE&t=4s(it's on YouTube) It might be time to give it another watch.

Z archivu: uctíváme odchod britského kontrabasisty Dannyho Thompsona (1939-2025) na věčnost.
„Dokud udržím v rukách kontrabas, jsem nejšťastnější chlap na světě,“ přiznával. Jeho hluboký, lyrický kontrabas propojoval folk, jazz i experiment, spolupráce s Johnem Martynem či Richardem Thompsonem patří k vrcholům britské scény. Sólové album Whatever (1987) ukazuje, proč jeho hudba inspiruje dodnes.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard an album with #DannyThompson on it that wasn’t good, at least in terms of the #bass, but his contributions to the sui generis album Songhai are particularly remarkable. #RIP #music #MusicSky #bassists #bassplayers

Here's a beautiful example of what Danny Thompson brought to the party...Kate Bush built this track on a stark and sterile Linn Drum track, and relied on Danny to bring life and emotion to it. It's a startling contrast.

Listening to 'Sweet Thing' in Astral Weeks, the double bass by Richard Davis sounds so much like Danny Thompson. Any thoughts?
