A master of electric and upright bass as well as piano, Linley's sound and style have made him one of the most sought-after sidemen in the world. He's a composer and arranger for many artists on his native Maurice Island. Linley was the last in a long line of great bassists (including Jaco Pastorius) to perform and record with the late, great keyboardist, Joe Zawinul, who passed away in 2007. Linley has performed with the He�Paco S�ry Group, Antoine Herv�, Michel Portal, Fran�ois Jeanneau Quartet, Francis Lassus Nguyen L�, Louis Winsberg, Karim Ziad, Tour� Tour�, Cheb Mami, Mino Cinelu and Richard Galliano. When asked what he loves about Markbass, Linley's thoughts turn first to the man behind the company. "I love the guy. I love Marco." Then Linley talks sound. "I have a natural sound on Jazz bass with these amps, but at the same time I can have an active bass sound without an active bass. Markbass is the best for me. It gave me my own identity. I couldn�t get this sound from the other amps I�ve tried� with Markbass I really have my own thing."
