RE: Brian May's setup+jacoloop

["Liebig, Steuart A." <Steuart.Liebig@maritz.com>]

'course yer familiar w/ the video:"joni mitchell shadow and light"
w/ p.metheny & jaco...he gets solo time where he goes way loopy-3rd
stone...,etc.
that's from '79, some of the earliest bass loopin i'm guessin...

** for what it's worth, 1976-1979 or so, i was on the road with les mccann 
(soul jazz pianist, "compared to what" was a big hit for him). he had a 
four-channel echoplex that he would use for a whole looping piece. his 
bass player (i was playing rhythm guitar of all things), jimmy rowser, had 
a single-channel echoplex that he used for his own looping solos. of 
interest is that jimmy also had played with charlie parker, 'trane and 
nancy wilson (and probably many others i didn't know about) before playing 
with les. so, here was a guy who was a stone upright player playing 
electric with effects through an early looper. i didn't really get how 
cool this was 'til many years later.
