I was looking at Vic's website and I noticed he had some tour dates with Chick Corea's Elektric Band. I wish I could go to one of those shows  http://victorwooten.com/tourdates.html

I think he uses guys when John can't do it, or maybe just trys fresh things. But, Yeah Vic would be cool to see with him!

Had no idea who he was or who else he'd played with, and haven't heard his name since, but man did he tear that sh*t up! |

Yeah there was a Yahoo Video or Youtube video I saw with Mike on bass, and yeah he was playing the crap out of it!

I like Wooten, but for some reason, the fit just doesn't seem right to me.
Not saying he can't do it, hell if anyone could-he can, but for some reason, Wooten/Elektric Band Wooten/Elektric Band.
Doesn't seem right.

Chick seems to get only killin bassists, of course!
I think Wooten has done a few shows with the Elektric Band already so it's been tested and it worked obviously. I can't wait to see the outcome!

(for my money I prefer Clarke on both instruments, even if JP is a wizard on the 6!) | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
