Mose Allison - Gettin' There (1989)

[BuckshotLaFunke1]

Every now and then I listen to this track and it's always satisfying.

[orthosrich]

I think that's Ray Kruse on drums, what do you think?

[taildragger53]

Georgie Fame got his vocal style from this man...Van Morrison owes Mose alot too. Mose Allison is a genius...the white Duke Ellington.

The bass player is doing what's required for the tune and not getting in the way of the lyrics.

What's the problem?

[Eligroen]

the great Mose , loving it :)

[Babyhowdy233]

I swear that this man hasn't aged one minute in over 20 years-Mose is an icon!

I would love to hear Mercy. Can anyone post it?

[totusmundusagit]

Agostino Marangolo on drums?????????

[fullmooney1]

bass player proves that if you can hold in your and act like your playing it you can get a gig as a bassist

[stillavril]

[annenelso]

[BuckshotLaFunke]

Man, he also has a message on that piano!

[avapepper]

I heart this song. Mose is the most.

[philh37]

Ladies and gentlemen, how about a hand for the distinguished senator from massachusetts Mr John Kerry on bass!!!

[abombinreverse]

distinguished?

[johnnyrebel16]

How could a great musician like Mose not be getting disillusioned with such a cheeseball accompanying him on the bass?

[jerkfaceloser]

he's gettin' there

[PCPrabbit]

this was 1989. look at 2009 in 2029 and we'll all look like cheeseballs! :-)

[ignarukih]
