The Jan Garbarek Group featuring Trilok Gurtu cast an uninterrupted two-and-a-half hour spell over a full house at the Barbican last Sunday. When told upon entry that there would be no interval, I assumed that we'd be treated to the intensity and the drama of a ninety minute Sunday night show, permitting suburbanites to make a relatively early path home. Not the case though, as the show just kept on...

West Coast freelance bassist Norm Stockton describes his instrumental music as, "contemporary jazz, but with wide influences including funk, fusion, rock, West African, and even a bit of classical." Indeed, not to mention an extroverted electric bass style that somehow retains the sheer technical power of Jaco Pastorius without the hubris. Stockton currently plays with the worship band Lincoln...

Since my guitar virtuosos Late Movies post from last week ignited such a firestorm of controversy, I thought it was only natural to follow it up with a list of some of my favorite bass players.

A thought came to my mind this morning. It was in relation to a “Get-Going Groove of the day” post I made about Jaco Pastorius. “Are you good or are you damn good'” He was a troubled musician that had a talent that was second to none. He changed the world of music. He changed electric bass. He [...]

I was recently listening to Joe Henderson's 1969 release, Power to the People (ignore the date given on the Last.fm site and just take advantage of being able to listen to the tracks). It features Ron Carter on acoustic and electric bass and, as I was listening to the title track, I clearly heard Mr Carter spice up his line with the use of harmonics. These are notes formed on a stringed instrument...

Review – Cai Marle-Garcia & Hyderabad (Charlie Wright's, December 17th 2009, review by Rob Mallows) Cai Marle-Garcia is a 23-year-old self-taught player of the fretless bass. His mastery of the instrument, his groove-filled chops – and his his pink pyjama bottom slacks – bring to mind the late, great Jaco Pastorius. And, if you love bass-led jazz, that can only be good thing....

Look what happens when you make friends with Jaco Pastorius :) Wally also passed away at a young age. He had Hodgkins disease and died in November 1992. Wally was an inspiration to many. This was early footage of Wally from the early to mid 80s (1985?) with his band, Front Runner. Thank you to Wally's family for giving us permission to post videos, images, and Wally's music on these tribute... This...

The program of Den Atelier continues to be the best around Luxembourg, this time inviting bassist Richard Bona. Yesterday night he delivered, again, an intense set full of sounds from Cuba, India, Cameroon, and even a special “Luxembourg tune parody”. Loved it. Below is a cover from Jaco Pastorius he often plays live, Liberty City. I’m [...]
