Some folks seemed to enjoy a little clip I put in another thread, so I thought I'd put down a few more solo bass tracks for you guys. I always enjoy trying to find ways to make solo bass sound interesting. I recorded them all this morning except All the Things You Are, which is a few years old.
Autumn Leaves S.K.J. Bye Bye Blackbird All The Things You Are
Let me know what you think.
Thanks! |

I heard the first go-round on that earlier thread, Michael.
Again, the double stops are great, ideas are great.....but I think your commitment to the time on all the clips is one of the strongest points in your solo work.
EDIT: Ray lives in S.K.J.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Palo Alto | | Thanks everyone. I find trying to make musically interesting solo bass pieces is a great way to find some of my deficiencies. If you have any problems with your sound, time, ideas, feel, or whatever, it becomes blatantly clear.
Also, playing solo pieces forces me to think a little more clearly about how to structure my music. With the normal "I'll walk behind everyone else and then take my one chorus" way of playing, I can get away with playing whatever. But playing solo I have to really think about where I am going and structure the piece to form a satisfying musical whole. Quote:

Trying to get a good feel and have a good internal metronome is something I constantly strive for. Ray, for example, was a great soloist, but I don't think that's what got him his gigs either. |

I particularly like the fact that there is some strong bebop roots coupled with more modern intervals and rhythms. All of it is so clear and the time is so strong. I can't leave out mentioning the double stops, beautiful!
