Bass Magazine For Bass Players & the Bass Industry
Rinsethealgorithm (Rich Brown) “Locutions”www.myspace.com/rinsethealgorithm Those who know me know that Toronto based Rich Brown is among my all-time favorite electric bassists (and humans). One of Canada’s busiest side-men, Rich also spent some years with NYC’s Steve Coleman as well as Andy Milne’s amazing band, “Dapp Theory”. Rich also plays in the Multi-ethnic and eclectic [...]
Phil Turcio “Signals” www.myspace.com/philturcioDAMN! That was the first word out of my mouth when the first track hit. The album does smooth out a bit after track 1, but there is no lack of burning playing on here. (You may remember my review of Ric Fierabracci’s “Hemispheres” album featuring Phil and Joel Rosenblatt). Ric [...]
Michael Bates “Clockwise” www.outsidesources.org Canadian born (NYC residing) bassist Michael Bates newest release will not disappoint any jazz lover! (Not a bad way to start a review, eh?). Released on Trumpeter Dave Douglas’ Green Leaf Music label, this CD features some very engaging compositions, wonderfully propulsive bass work and some very exploratory playing by [...]
Incognito “Tales From the Beach” www.incognito.org.ukFor 20 years, Incognito has endured as one of Britain’s most loved soul/R&B bands. Not an easy task with so much good soul coming from that region but it’s easy to see why. This album could’ve as easily come out of the 70′s… well, with a few exceptions.. The [...]
FourPlay “Energy” www.fourplayjazz.comHaving reviewed a Fourplay album previously, I won’t begin with my typical brief history (you probably know it already anyway!).This CD brings us exactly what we’ve come to expect from these top-notch LA session masters. The band practically defines the sound of smooth jazz, and “Energy” is no different. Clean and crisp [...]
Enrico Galetta “48 Hour Odyssey” www.enricogaletta.com Italian born and Atlanta residing Enrico Galetta has come out of the gates swinging. Fans of Adam Nitti & Victor should surely find bass-nuggets a plenty here! Adam produced the effort and is an obvious strong influence on Enrico’s playing. Enrico displays a bag of tricks and grooves [...]
David Dyson “Unleashed” www.myspace.com/daviddysonFrom the New Kids on the Block to Me’Shell N’degeocello, Dyson is a bona-fide force in the bass world (in my opinion, a criminally lesser known name to many, tho. Every bass player should be well aware of David Dyson). I had the pleasure of meeting Dave through a mutual friend [...]
Bryan Beller “Thanks in Advance” www.bryanbeller.com Many of us are familiar with Bryan Beller as a contributing editor for Bass Player Magazine. You may also know that he can be seen touring with Steve Vai and possibly through past work with Dweezil Zappa’s “Project Z”. Given only that amount of information, one could safely [...]
