I don’t think I’ve ever heard an album with #DannyThompson on it that wasn’t good, at least in terms of the #bass, but his contributions to the sui generis album Songhai are particularly remarkable.

#RIP “ #DannyThompson was extraordinary: a man who played the upright double #bass as if it were a lead instrument, who may have been an #accompanist but who was never a #sideman. Whoever he played with and whatever he was playing, he sounded like himself” #music www.theguardian.com/music/2025/s...
From Kate Bush to Pentangle to T-Rex, the late Danny Thompson’s musical brilliance knew no bounds
The bassist, who has died aged 86, was an extraordinary and wildly versatile presence in British music, bringing his personality into everything he played

Ah now. My heroes are dying. Rest in Bass Danny. I’m heartbroken. OH was pregnant when we went to see Danny and Richard Thompson at the Ulster Hall. Youngest kicked and kicked all the way through the gig. Danny was one of the best. #Cropredy wouldn’t be without him.
