Derrick Graves!!!

Check this out! For all of you bassplayers lovers of tasty 70's Philly fusion, the man is Derrick Graves

Talking about talent, thumbstyle in the pocket vibing with strings orchestra, Dexter Wansel ... Life on Mars, What the world is coming to etc.

What i recently found out is that the man - Derrick Graves - is now a dentist in the philly area and is involved in some local R&B production. Respect!

Dang, dude can get funky and do a root canal!
 
Unfortunately, Dexter himself set me right. It was NOT Derrick Graves on that track! (The album sleeve isn't very clear about it, as well). It was Raymond Earl of Instant Funk. I did a video about him because he's just incredible.



Heck, your mistakes are educational. I saw Raymond Earl live with Instant Funk when I Got My Mind Made Up was a hit.
