Just kind stumbled upon this, don't know a thing about the player or the instrument, but it sounds awesome. Drummer is great too.

That's the great Melvin Lee Davis playing his signature Ken Smith 7-string bass. Three outstanding musicians making great music!!!

A Groove is a Terrible Thing to Waste!

That the great Mel Davis, for sure with Will Kennedy of the Yellow Jackets! No question that there was some heavy groovin' going on that day!

I really like how Lee has evolved as a player... I'm not wild about "Light out" or "light" jazz, but Lee seems to have moved in much cooler direction... And yes, Marvin brings it, big time.
