Tim Partridge.
Might have been a right bastard at times, but he taught me a bucketload about the industry, being a working musician and making sure that when you are on the stand, you give 100%.
Swings like a man possesed and is one of the funkiest bassists I have heard.

Bill Motzing from the sydney con has to be close to the best arranger in the country: his depth of knowledge is amazing

ahoy tassies- yes absolutely Tim Partridge one of a very rare breed of great electric bass jazzers. Fred Bradshaw is a complete master on alto. Also have to mention Tony Gorman who played in Melbourne last week - so sick with MS he can hardly walk, still plays his arse off and tells more stories than Billy Connolly! Good to see Jex S getting some press recently, too. There are so many fine piano players around...

ahoy curious - nice to see someone else that knows the scene down south. Welcome aboard! Freddie - what a monster. I learned heaps by playing with him for a number of years. One of those players that absolutely lives for it. If he wasn't able to play the sax, he'd just fall over and cark it, I reckon. As it is, he'll live forever. Long live Freddie!

Along the lines of glen's post, not so much a hidden one, but a forgotten one (and some may say a surly, cranky one!) - Alan Turnbull. I've only ever heard him a half dozen times or so, but every time he's blown me away. Touch, swing, amazing brushes. He is the walrus.

Absolutely !!!
Pity none of his music is readily available, he really was an amazing musician. Tenor, alto, sop, flute, bass clarinet, cello...........

I have an old Bryce Rohde record, I think it's called Corners with Bruce Cale and Mark Bowden from the 50's and Charlie sounds great on it.
