Bassot ›

Mun suosikki tossa nauhattoman basson soitossa on kyllä Pino Palladino. Miehen mahtavaa soitantaa löytyy mm. D'angelon Voodoo -albumilta.
 
Eikös tuolla levyllä Pino ole vetänyt ihan nauhallisella presarilla?


"Your work with D’Angelo symbolizes your move back to your R&B influences and fretted bass.
Well, as you say, my roots and the music in my heart has always been R&B. The move back really started around 1994, after I got my ’63 P-Bass and put flatwounds on it. I’d been writing with drummer Steve Jordan, and I used the bass on a great album we did for Tom Jones that unfortunately never came out. Bonnie Raitt bassist Hutch Hutchinson heard the tracks, and he recommended me to producer John Porter, who called and asked me to bring the P-Bass for B.B. King’s Deuces Wild CD. That’s where I met D’Angelo, and we hit it off in a big way. Whenever he sang, I played better! He said, “You’ve got the sound I’m looking for—come and play on my album.” That was incredibly fortunate, because it also led to sessions with a variety of other hip-hop artists, and the formation of the writing team with D’s sidemen, James and Ahmir."
