Scott Henderson Discussion

Hey Scott
Have you ever thought about doing an album using drum loops? Not to replace a drummer but just because they can sound cool as there own thing?
I like what Jeff beck did with them on a few albums.

[Scott Henderson]

You mean you like what his producers did - I don't think Jeff had to program anything.

I wouldn't go techno, simply because he already did it. Kinda like Kinsey doing the vocoder thing after Zawinul. I'm really trying my best not to follow anyone's footsteps.

[dizzy]

That makes sense.
I more meant in your own way...just him as an example.
I guess there are so many things we "could" do.
You've got your hands full with two bitchen trios.

My viewpoint...worth no more than anyone else's...THANK YOU for NOT doing the techno-loopy thing!

[Scott Henderson]

You're welcome! Actually I like some of it, but even if I wanted to go there, I'm not equipped as a producer and would have to hire one, which I've never done and never will.

And speaking as a person who has experience working with loops in the context of jazz, I can say without hesitation that they completely ruin the more subtile aspects of the music.
