You dumb fuck! He's a white guy playing black music with black musicians! She asked him if race was an issue after mlk was shot, and he said no! Everyone still loved him! Its was probably the smartest question she could have asked. Fucking dumb ass.

Hey, Nate Watts is playing a Bossa bass guitar in this movie. That's cool.

@kimchislayer did you seriously get that out of the conversation?she was asking a legit question being that she is a bass player. also he came out during a time when racism was a big part of life

You know the question, "If you could meet one person in history who would it be?" For me it would have to be a tie between Andre the Giant & James Jamerson. I can't say it's a regret, since I was only four years old when he died, but I feel like i missed an oppertunity never meeting him. Maybe in heaven.

DVD "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" There`s also a book with the same title, full of bass transcritions and interviews with great bass players.

M`shelle is herself a skilled bass player. She must know what she`s talkin about, once this is black music played , in this case , by a white musician,and she asks if he had problems playing all that stuff.I don`t think her curiosity is strange.Racial conflicts are, unfortunately very commun. Jazz history is full of them. By one side and the other.I think musicians envolved in racial conflicts is ridiculous.All of us have a lot to learn and contribute to music new eras.Hug
