Cecil McBee- Interview

We share many things in common.  I have every one of the albums mentioned in your interview.  Now, when I get back to Florida, I will be listening to them all.  It is a tough job, but someone has to do it.  Thanks for a job well done.  You asked great questions.

Nice interview!

Agree here.  Great bass playing is often underrated.  Or unappreciated.  Not here.

I loved that Cecil’s answers to questions or his reflections were to the point with no added commentary. That says a lot about him personally.

He was warm, soft spoken and thoughtful. He told me he wasn't good with words (though I found him quite articulate) but that he expressed himself through his playing. And as @slaw observed about "being to the point," I hear the same thing in his playing. Thanks everybody, the real thanks is the gift of the music the man gave us. As you may gather, I have enormous respect for him.
