Subject: RE: Obit: Pentangle Bassist Danny Thompson (1939-2025)
Remarks about losing Danny Thompson posted by a local friend (Arlington, Texas) on his Facebook page. Mark Cook is a gifted musician, noted for his love of the Warr guitar. From the album credits he also plays fretless bass, fretted and fretless guitars, keyboards, programming, samples, and beat construction.
Legendary bassist Danny Thompson passed away yesterday. He was a master of the upright bass. He played on some of my favorite albums and was a huge influence on me. Here is a piece I recorded for my project Blood Jet Poetry that features Mr. Thompson and Matt Chamberlain on drums. https://bloodjetpoetry.bandcamp.com/album/blood-jet-poetry
