R.I.P. Danny Thompson

from CiTR -- The Saturday Edge Hosted by CiTR & Discorder Magazine

The great English bass player Danny Thompson died this week at the age of 86. He made signature contributions to hundreds of recordings and memorable concerts in his 70 year career. I only included 16 tracks today. He played on everything from trad folk to blues, jazz, African music, and country, as well as underpinning memorable singer songwriters' highest achievements. He was a remarkable humorist and MC as well. He will be sorely missed, but what a catalogue of music he has created and embellished for us to relish! Started the show with lots of music from Mali, then sprinkled some Danish music recently acquired, and added some stirring new Canadiana, too.
