I was taught to play bass by Jet Harris. I got to play on stage with him a few times, too. He would roll the volume on his bass down for sound check, so he could turn it back up during his set when he wanted a bit more volume. We did a bass duel during a performance of Nivram once and he absolutely destroyed me.

It was the Shadows in Britian and the Ventures in the US. I also think the Ventures and Shadows influenced each other. I know the Ventures covered some of their songs.

Nicknamed "Jet" because he was an ace sprinter at school (100 yards in 10 seconds). Later lost any athletic capability through chain-smoking, an addiction he was never able to get under control, and which eventually killed him. The piece he's playing from 0:19 to 0:28 is called The Man From Nowhere, in a clip from the film Just For Fun (in which he also partnered Tony Meehan, singing Doin' The Hully Gully).

Good to see Jet get some recognition. I played with him a number of times in the early 90s at a regular pub jam session I used to go to. It was particularly pleasing some years later to see him do a proper theatre tour of the UK and deservedly play to bigger audiences who were pleased to see him.

Jet Harris and Tony Meacham had a #1 hit with a song called 'Diamonds' in January 1963. It was recorded in November 1962, it had an 18yr. old guitarist named Jimmy Page playing acoustic rhythm guitar on it. It was Page's first introduction into the world of British Session Music which he excelled in, and a few years down the road after getting much better he made a name for himself first with the Yardbirds and later with a little band called Led Zeppelin....🎸

@rockerjim8045 Ай бұрын

@matthewblanchard9301 Ай бұрын

@@rockerjim8045 I like all of Led Zeppelin A - to - Z, but I still believe in their debut album Led Zeppelin recorded in 30hrs. in early October 1968(Oct. 1 & 2 I think?) Released in the U.S. on 01/12/69 & in the U.K. on 03/17/69. This first album set the stage for what they became. Led Zeppelin II was a 'monster', Led Zeppelin IV was their 'masterpiece' and Physical Graffiti was their 'opus'. But that first album when I heard that day it came out, I was 15, had already seen Page with the Yardbirds twice, first time with Beck still in the band September '66 & October 67 just with Page, Relf, Dreja and McCarty. That show was the first time I heard 'Dazed and Confused', same music but different lyrics. When I heard it again on the first album I just melted into that song, it had morphed into a sonic odyssey. That whole album was a game changer for music itself and how music was recorded and package and with Peter Grant he helped changed how artist were paid for their music and put the promoters in their place to not rip - off artist. Led Zeppelin, changed everything with that first album. 🎸🎤🎸🥁

@1man1guitarletsgo 18 күн бұрын

At 18 years old, the drummer Tony Meehan (not Meacham) was already an old hand. When he played on the Shadows' first No. 1 hit, Apache, he was just 15. Back then, the school leaving age in the UK was 14, and I'm not sure the successive increases have really benefited the nation.

“Jet” Harris (we’re both ♋️ Cancer-born and BEHS players 😎) must be the subliminal influence that inspired Jack Bruce to take up the Fender VI in the first incarnation of Cream. Also why I’m tempted to bring my Fender VI out from the back of my storage shed as well. 😎🎸

My first ever ‘proper’ gig. Cliff Richard at Manchester Apollo, 1981. Had been to plenty of folk gigs but that was my first experience of the whole lights, volume, venue type stuff, blew my tiny 7 year old mind. Obviously my Mum was a huge fan of Cliff so that’s why we were there. Must repay her at some point, time for her to appreciate something more aggressive… Still have a quiet little place in my heart for Cliff and the Shadows, just alongside my Metallica, Wildhearts, Southern River Band section 🤘😀

He always had a lot of time for the fans and despite his moody stage persona, he was a very funny guy and an absolute gentleman. A Diamond, you might say! My favourite tunes include; Big Bad Bass, Again, Scarlett O’Hara and of course Nivram. Keep ‘em coming, Danny!

Man With the Golden Arm. 1955 movie starring Frank Sinatra. His character was an ace (pun intended) card dealer (hence the Golden Arm) who also happened to have an "H" problem, if you know what I mean. The movie explored that. His character's name was Frankie Machine, which would be a great name for a punk band. Pretty edgy for 1955. Fantastic jazz/big band soundtrack.

Too many people queuing up to try and be the first one to say "no no no it's wasn't John Entwistle..". Jet was a bassist in a hugely influential band. A legendary band. But he did not push the bass guitar forward. He played bass well within its then constraints.
