Graham Maby - Joe Jackson's bassist

[AndyOrr]

I've been listening to recently acquired vinyl reissues of the "Look Sharp" and "I'm The Man" albums. They sound great, mainly because of the huge, extremely catchy bass lines. How come no one talks about Joe's bass player, Graham Maby, when they talk bass players? The guy's an absolute monster player and songwriter.

I love Graham's playing on those albums. Likely doesn't get the attention because back then Joe was just another new wave pop guy.

+1 Love Graham Maby's playing on those albums. Great trademark tone and signature bass lines.

I wore out those two albums and the bass playing was awesome and perfect for the context.
