I need some assistance. I am trying to compose a list of albums that
has the Chapman Stick played on it. Obvious ones are: King crimson's
latest three, Peter Gabriel, and Bruce Cockburn's "Catch the Fire".
Alfonzo Johnson plays The Stick on some albums, as well as Sting's
bassist for his solo album (I can't remember his name).
If you know of any, even if it's only one song, please let me know.
I hope to make a list, and if there's a strong interest, I'll post
it to the net.
(The reason I'm asking is two-fold: I want to prove that the efforts
of Stanley Jordan is by no means unique (see my reply to an earlier
praise of him in net.music) and also because I myself play The Stick
and I would like to see and hear how some musicians use it.
Many thanks in advance...

I guess I'm not really answering your question but rather asking you another one. Could you please (as a Stick player) offer a summary of what the Stick is all about. (Somewhere in the mists of my closet I have literature on it, but it didn't go into enough detail.) I'm curious, because as a keyboard player who barely plays any guitar at all, I had thought about picking up the Stick (pun intended). I'd heard it was kind of a good stringed instrument for a keyboard player to pick up. Thanks in advance. -- Anything's possible, but only a few things actually happen. Rich Rosen pyuxd!rlr

In addition to their style changing over the years, so have some of their instruments (bass & drums). -- David Arnold University of Maryland usenet: ...!seismo!rglvax!cvl!umd5!davida ARPA: davida@umd5.ARPA

One example is Robin Scott's FAMOUS LAST WORDS album. (Robin Scott--aka M.) There is one song on this album called "Dance On The Ruins," but a quick check of the credits revealed no mention of The Stick, despite its unmistakable presence on the track. However, a second inspection of the back cover did disclose that a certian T. Levin played bass on the album (also Thomas Dolby on keyboards.) >(The reason I'm asking is two-fold: I want to prove that the efforts >of Stanley Jordan is by no means unique (see my reply to an earlier >praise of him in net.music) and also because I myself play The Stick >and I would like to see and hear how some musicians use it. >Many thanks in advance... Actually, I read somewhere in an interview with Mr. Chapman that he got the idea for the stick from Jimi Hendrix, who used to occasionlly play by hammering the strings. >"Arguments, agreements, advice, answers, articulate announcements; > It's only Talk." -- Adrain Belew "Talk, it's only talk/Babble, burble..........and other words that begin with a "B." -Adrian Belew from ELEPHANT WALK (a bootleg)
