In praise of Jimmy Haslip on "Brother to Brother"

[rtav]

Hello fellow low-enders!

I've been listening to Jimmy Haslip's playing on Gino Vanelli's "Brother to Brother" and it is absolutely killer. Beautiful. Stunning.

Everyone points out Jimmy's three amazing bass solos on the "Brother to Brother" track; I just want to play an incredible deeper track that features Jimmy 's playing the entire song. It is, and has been for 40+ years now some of the best bass playing I've ever heard.

Listen as a bassist to his lines, his playing, the timing, his note choice throughout.

I copped I just Wanna Stop because I heard it as a kid and always thought it a terrific song. Is that a fretless bass. It seems like other Gino songs have fretless and whoever is playing bass with him is exceptional is musical taste, chops, and all around “Damn! That’s good!

Gino went against the grain because everybody else was getting into synth bass, the Vanelli’s, who were all synth bass, brought in Jimmy Haslip for Brother to Brother, and it was a brilliant move. To top it off, I think it was their best seller too.

Does anyone know which bass Jimmy Haslip played on the Brother to Brother record? I´m currently listening to the record and was wondering about how to get that bass sound.

Great bassist, possibly my favorite all-around EBG player.

Yes, great record, and with some lovely contributions from Vince Mendoza.

Might have been a Tobias around then? I mean an original Tobias.
