[kj] Youth

[melinda grant]

youth was a better more choppy--melodic and even funky twang bass player 
than raven--u can hear his lv of and 4 the bass in any early works--just 
compare the difference to raven---half the time,i can hardly hear ravens 
bass--thats now bland it is,n yes youth did write those bass lines --his 
bass lines in the early days--of course he  n  gordie would improvise 
ect--chuk idears bak n 4th,but youth knew his stuff,he was no slakker-n 
gordie knows his stuff,they complimented each other beautifully n 
intensly---as 4 k.j.o3 the bass is pritty heavy on that,n really rather 
good,at last after all these yrs,raven is catching up with youth,but its 
taken bloody yrs,n in the end,youth is the better of the 2.

mel ldn uk.    ps get youth bak full time jaz,u know it makes sense.
