Pino Palladino suggestions

Sign in to disble this ad
Can anyone recommend some "essential" recordings that every bass player should have from Pino? Thanks in advance.

"Voodoo," by D'Angelo. It will challenge many, many stereotypes, demonstrate maximum groove by minimal playing across the entire rhythm section, and blow your mind. Thanks to Mixbass for turning me on to this killer recording.

I highly recomend David Gilmour's 1984 solo record "About Face"...The song "Murder" is fretless goodness...

Playhouse is just funky - it's a relentless, powerful, unconventional bass line. Pino has magic fingers. LOL

Here's someone doing a great cover of Pino's bassline on Jill Scott's "can't explain"... actually he's got heaps of great play alongs of Pino's soul and RnB work..

+1 That was Pino at his best. His current PBass work is not even in that same universe to me.

Definitely +1 on this badboy. Can anyone recommend me anything similar to this album which Pino plays on? Or otherwise any bass playing by anyone which is similar to this?

Love his work with Joan Armatrading also. CD 'The Shouting Stage'... amazing.

Edit: Also, remember 'Nakita' by Elton John... amazing groove and some tasty Pino fills!

No Parlez and Secret Of Association by Paul Young, these were the albums that brought Pino to prominence.

Go West by Go West.

Any of his new project with PSP.

Continuum and Try by John Mayer.

And all of the previous sugestions.

For some pure Pino that isn't Pino get Like A Prayer by Madonna (extended version). Guy Pratt channels Pino at the end to the extent that when Pratty heard it he thought they'd used someone else.

This was the track that had us all going 'who the heck is THAT' back in the day. It sounds just a bit '80's cheezy' at this point, but still a beautiful song and just a scary good bass track that was very fresh at the time.

I don't know if this qualifies as "essential" because he didn't record on the originals but his playing on the Simon & Garfunkel "Old Friends" dvd is great.

IMO. Pino is a true Master.

D'Angelo, Voodoo (Charlie Hunter & D'angelo himself also play bass on this one, ?uestlove's drumming on this is insane, Voodoo is a true masterpiece on how to play rhythm section.)
John Mayer: Try

I'm with you on that one (although I love the stuff he does with PSP).

I was in a band that used to do a few Paul Young covers from that era "Wherever I lay my hat", "Tear your playhouse down", "Come back and stay" and The Butcher's Lad song (Everytime you go away, you take a piece of meat with you).

I worked very hard on these and had them nailed pretty good, as you can imagine I was in bass heaven playing songs where the bassline is so central. However, my favourite Pino bassline of that era (probably my favourite Pino bassline ever) is "Wonderland" - love the choice of notes and the way it builds and builds. I can play it reasonably well but unfortunately I've never been in a band that has covered it live.

The bass is further back in the mix, so it's not as "stand out" as some of the other stuff, and it can be difficult to pick out what Pino is doing on the original track, but this guy on youtube nails it pretty damn good - better than I can for sure (although I like to think I'm not too far behind)
