Plainsman: Where's Timbre exactly? (I'm not too sure where's ex-fat frogs etc)

Man, reminds me of when Don Gomes and Louis Soliano were still playing at JSB! Especially loved their rendition of John Patittucci's 'Growing'. Sigh, dunno wad happened to Don and Louis is just playing lounge music.

Craving for some Jazz!!! Haha.....

bongman, joshua wan is a local music arranger, and kickass pianist and bassist.

 

[bongman]

oh yes, I remember seeing his name as an arranger in
Tanya Chua album but I didn't know he's a bassist ?
He arranged music and played piano for a number of her tracks.

anyway, thank you for the info. maybe will drop by Substation tomolo...

Wow...Lewis Pragasam still banging away at the drums?! Really brought back nice memories when I used to sit up front in Brannigans watching his mesmerising solos....
