| | |  maxwell: urban hang suite - I NEED MORE CD'S LIKE THIS
Sign in to disble this ad
can you guy's real off some other disc's with this kind of bass playing on them please? I love the understated pocket grooves on this album. Looking for more 100bpm - 110bpm R&B type bass grooves and tight fingerstyle playing...

| | | | When it comes to getting into bass playing I mainly listen to pop and classic rock.
I also sometimes veer into some R&B territory. I never really get into any "bass player out front" music like Jaco etc. Just does not interest me.. For me it got to start with great SONGS. That said, I’m all for hearing Jaco do his thing in a song format, where he sits in with the drummer supporting the song. I’m not into bass as a lead instrument.
What I love to hear is bass playing/players that works for the greater good of the song, has soul and pocket, does not try to take the limelight from the vocals. I'm interested in any vocal based groove music that the bass player works as an integral part of the track and does not mess with the vibe of the song..
This is obviously very open to conjecture but I find the bass playing on Urban Hang Suite pretty much comes under this approach.

Awesome!!!

This thing is just funky, grooving music. It has a very late 70's funk vibe. Real band, real musicians, real instruments! Awesome! Andrew Levy is the man! I've got to get back in the woodshed!! I would hope to be this funky and grooving someday. It's a really excellent CD and i recommend it. I'm on track 6 right now and haven't heard a bad song yet! Bass is up in the mix where it should be too.

i saw Van Hunt live and he put on a great show. great band (he's a great guitarist as well, nice soloing) and they did a P-funk song for the encore. |

Andrew Levy is the last bassist (besides my former teacher Adam Nitti) to have a profound influence on my playing. He grooves!! |
