I had about 150 cd's stolen from my car a couple weeks ago so now I am in the midst of a cd buying spree, but I could use some ideas. What better place to get some recommendations than TB?
So what were your favorited bass albums of 2006? I don't necessarily mean bass-centric albums (Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, etc.), just albums that had great bass lines and playing, whether on upright or electric. Open to all genres.
Let's hear what moved you this year!

As for recommendations: Dream Theater - Score. Great bass playing from John Myung.

As for recommendations: Dream Theater - Score. Great bass playing from John Myung. | I had two of the Case Logic 72 cd cases and a few more misc cd's laying around. No changer. I live in LA and spend 10x more time listening to music while driving than at home. Still have about 600 sitting in my apartment.
I feel lucky though because my friend's car was parked right next to mine in the driveway and he had his $5000+ stereo system stolen out of his Honda. And this happened in a "nice", suburban, gated community. Whoever did it was a pro. Both of our cars' alarm systems were not tripped and there was absolutely no damage done to either vehicle, not a scratch.

Franc O'Shea - Alkimia - one of the UK's finest bassists (and a good friend of mine) this guy is awesome on fretless, plus this album is truly stunning flamenco jazz folk fusion - BUY IT - if you haven't heard it listen here: http://www.myspace.com/francosheamusic The Hidden Land - Flecktones (Vic playing great throughout) Jaco P Word of Mouth Big Band CD2 - awesome performances from Veasley, Richard Bona and Vic Dave Holland Quintet - Overtime - sublime modern jazz with Chris Potter on sax. Joe Zawinul - Brown Street - incredible fusion set with the NDR Big Band, Victor Bailey (on fire) performing Weather Report classics - stunning record. Mike Stern - Who Let The Cats Out - bass masterclass from Bona, Wooten, Meshell, Chris Min Doky, and Anthony Jackson. |
