  1. 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 ...

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
