..eh eh, what a discovery!
Mr. Mark IS the bass man. I've wrote many times that he would be the perfect bassist for Jamiro....
The early albums were masterpieces...listen to "Eyes waterfalling", and after listening, we could discuss about bass playing.... |

Yes, i'm a massive Level 42 fan and especially a fan of Mark King as I play the bass myself and he is awesome!!! (Eyes Waterfalling is a great tune!!)

Great player, yes, but not for Jamiroquai. He's much more of a percussive bass player instead of a soulfull groove (Zender-style).
Funny btw, this morning I read in the newspaper that he'll play with Level 42 close to where I live. |

Just saw Level 42 at the Leverkusener Jazz Tage (Jazz Days Leverkusen) in Germany for the first time again since 1988 (damn, time is running  )
Couldn't agree more, Mark is the KING.
One of my most valuable possessions : 1986 J&D, 1988 Status (both $$$$) |

Seriously, I've never seen or heard a better bass player than Mark King...  *loves*
Nice to see some other L42-fans here! |
