Danny Thompson exits the stage

[Tubetec]

The legendary double bass player Danny Thompson has passed away aged 86 ,
Providing the low end growl and rasp on so many great recordings over the years ,
Heres a taste of his medieval folk style with Pentangle ,

He was also a long time contributor/player with John Martyn.

This is a great version of May You Never they are playing

Hi Sahib ,
among others ,Danny Thompson also colaborated with Nick Drake , who was also a very close friend of John Martyn ,
he also worked extensively with Richard Thompson ,although no relation other than musical colaborators .

Both Danny and Richard Thompson made memorable contributions to Drakes '5 leaves left' ,
even though it was recorded between 1968-69 it holds up to anything today in terms of sound .
