Phil Lesh


R.I.P.  A great innovator of the Bass guitar.

128x128jafant

A 3rd Bassist to consider is Jack Casady. All outstanding composers and musicians.

 

Happy Listening!

……Jafant good point on Jack Cassidy . Liked him in Jefferson Airplane but amazing in Hot Tuna . 

I had been focused on Phil’s sound and notes and playing all afternoon on Friday w/ some ‘71 and some ‘78 from the new boxset. I even conversed to the wife about his notes while listening and cleaning house. Then she gives me the news of his passing… The synchronicity, my mental attachment to him already that day, made the news a very surreal moment. I’ll remember this as being just as profound as what we were doing the moment we found out Jerry had passed. 
so many emotions
RIP Phil 

Sad day. Grateful I had the chance to see him play 200+ times. His bass playing on Eyes of the World always mesmerizes me.
