Joel Smith Question

Joel Smith is amazing.
I'm floored everytime I listen to Kim Burrell...
i was wondering if anybody knew what bass he played on those albums? either studio or live?
probably his F Bass, but I was wondering if anybody has seen him live, etc.
or anybody know him from the Jazz School in the bay area?

it's been a long time since someone's sound/playing has moved me this much~!

And it is amazing he is from a Pentecostal church in California. I do know he played for CLC Youth Choir - I have some of the CD's They seem to produce some great bass players in that area.

Sorry to bump an old thread... but, is there any more info on Joel that TB'ers would care to share?

I'm proud to say that Joel is now an MTD 635 player! I had the pleasure of introducing Joel to Mike Tobias myself, and Mike made him a beautiful ash bass with a maple neck 6 string. He is also Epifani endorsee. He is still one of the most incredible bassists ever! MTD4LYFE!!!

I thought it was Tommy Brown that did all the bass on the CLC Youth Choir albums-I know it was Tommy on Live...In the Spirit. Just wondering too??

Joel is the man! He played on the Agape project here in NJ last year. I was told by a friend he had a Smith. It's cats like Joel and Terrance Palmer that keep me chasing this bass thing!
