Larry Carter was one of the BEST guitar players in Pentecost back when he was basically undiscovered. I remember the first year he played at IBC Music Fest. It was total snobbery at first, while the little country boy took the stage. But LC had been playing for local churches and recordings for years before he was *discovered* by the UPCI music culture.
Obviously Tommy Brown is realllllllly good. I agree with you on that.  |
You're funny, lol. Of course I didn't say because of his noteriety he was better, I addressed your, "Tommy Who" comment, explaining who the "who" was.
So...in apostolic musician circles it is well known about TB skills as a bass player. Of course there are many unknowns, I have one here at my church.
J.O., as Phil stated is one of the best...but he is known for his band leadership, co-ordinating, and his "in-the-pocket" style.
Tommy is a maestro, from backing, recordiing, LIVE, and advanced technical skills. Trust me, no one gets into Bass player Magazine by being average. Alembic bass company doesn't endore everyone. If you ask the Tobias players out there, (I am one), they will tell you to a person of Tommy's legend. I will leave it at that...from Fred Hammond to Joel Smith to Andre Gauche, they will tell you he is da man in OUR circles. If I have to explain "who" they are...then lets just drop it, he he!!!!
