Wilton Felder on Donald Byrd's "Ethiopian Knights"

Sign in to disble this ad
yeh, so my name is the Crate Worm, and that's because besides playing bass, I love to collect records -as I've gotten older, I been getting way more into all the vintage Blunote, Impulse, all that and I started getting into Donald Byrd a couple of years ago

but ANYWAYS, yeh, Wilton Felder, the Sax player from the Crusaders, kills it on the bass, especially on the track called "The Little Rasti" - funky funky funky - 17 minutes long, I vibed out to it twice in a row the first time I heard it - listened to it again this week and thought that it's a total sleeper and more people would dig it if they heard it!

not the craziest bassline in the world, but 17 mins of being in the pocket and holding down the funk like a jar of pickled eggs - I love this kind of bass playing, straight up being the backbone for the whole thing along with the drums

I found it for listening, not downloading right here

it's a ten minute edit of the original - bass don't come in till about 1:20 if you feel like checking it - they don't get to the part where he runs the thing through some sort of distortion and makes it sound like a big growling synth, and then at the end he gets to cut loose, but that's like 15 mins into it, but anyways, I dig this track a lot and thought I'd share it

Wilton Felder is AWESOME on bass. A great musician, definitely coming out of the Jamerson school. How many of us have had to learn "I Want You Back" by the Jackson 5 for a wedding or something? He burns that track to pieces....
