What is Ready Freddy Washington up to these days?
I was just listening to him on a Herbie Hancock record and realized I have not heard anything out of him in what seems like ages.........

But has he done anything interesting in the last two years?
Just curious. What city is he based out of?
He is such an overlooked monster player.

My memory sucks, I'll check on my C.D.'s at home and let you know. I do remember the bass being great on them, as on most Crusaders albums

He was just in town doing a show for BET. According to a friend of mine he's using some old school basses and killing in that vibe. Excellent bassist. |

The dude just kills those grooves. Great tone, time, feel, etc. He is way too overlooked and under appreciated IMO.

Kind of another Jamerson in that respect.
I used to listen to the Anita Baker stuff just for his bass parts.
Great stuff! |
