BASS CULTURE...Jimmy Haslip

 


     In 1976, Haslip made the move to Los Angeles and within a few years, racked up recording credits with Gino Vannelli, Rod Stewart, Blackjack, Tom Scott, and many others. By the late 1970s, Haslip met Robben Ford and, in addition to working on Ford’s solo project, decided to form the Yellowjackets alongside Russell Ferrante (keyboards) and Ricky Lawson (drums). The Yellowjackets’ debut album in 1981 set the stage for what would become a career-long endeavor resulting in creative interplay, international success, and multiple Grammy nominations and awards. While the lineup changed from time to time, Haslip remained with the Yellowjackets until 2012.
     In the meantime, Haslip became a sought-after session musician and side person thanks to his versatile nature and the use of fretless and five or six-string basses. His playing can be heard on records by Bruce Hornsby, Bobby McFerrin, Marylin Scott, Michael Franks, Anita Baker, Jeff Lorber, Allan Holdsworth, and countless others. Haslip frequently collaborates with jazz artists and session aces in the “supergroup” setting, resulting in projects such as Jing Chi, Renegade Creation, and ARC Trio.

GUITAR WOLF...Joe Perry

Слика
        It’s hard to conceive a better musical foil for Steven Tyler than his longtime partner and occasional adversary. For more than 40 years, Joe Perry’s monstrous, blues-on-steroids riffs have been  Aerosmith ‘s bedrock. And his solos, jutting out from “Walk This Way” or slashing boldly through the high-gloss production of later hits like “Janie’s Got a Gun” and “Cryin’,” have a caffeinated energy that’s every bit Tyler’s match.

LITTLE DRUMMER BOY...Matt Cameron

Слика
        More than any other drummer, Matt Cameron laid the rhythmic foundation for the Nineties rock revolution, reconciling proggy technicality with overwhelming force. He aptly characterized his rotary-blade rhythms on the 1991 Soundgarden track "Jesus Christ Pose" as "a pure assault of the senses," but that efficient brutality wasn't necessarily characteristic of Cameron's work with the band – his drumming on  Superunknown  is as thoughtful as it is heavy, from the fluid asymmetry of "Spoonman" to the unshakeable backbeat of "Fell on Black Days." Twenty years after its release, Dave Grohl was  still raving , "Nobody played drums like Matt." When Soundgarden suddenly disbanded in 1997, Cameron wasn't out of work for long: Pearl Jam invited him on tour the following year.  SOUNDGARDEN  Badmotorfinger A&M,1991 https://www.sendspace.com/file/uaniyr

ONCE UPON A TIME.....Still

Слика
  PETE SINFIELD  Still  (Manticore,1973) - Progressive rock       The name Pete Sinfield may not mean much to the casual prog observer but to aficionados his identity will always be linked to  King Crimson . As the band’s lyricist and, to a degree,  Robert Fripp ’s artistic muse, Sinfield contributed the lyrics to the first four Crimson albums.        For reasons unknown, the firm of Fripp and Sinfield ceased trading circa 1971 but, rather cunningly, former KC bassist  Greg Lake , perhaps sensing a lack of lyrical gravitas, created a similar role for him in the world-conquering  ELP .       Still , Sinfield’s first and only solo album was unveiled to the public in May 1973 and was quickly sidestepped by all but a very few discerning members of the progressive rock-buying public.  TRACKLIST : The Song Of The Sea Goat                          Under The Sky                          Will It Be You                          Wholefood Boogie                          Still
