Looking for James Genus on electric bass!
- Thread starter MALucas
- Start date
...he did a couple of albums with the Brecker Brothers Band.
"Slang" is from Out Of The Loop.
Wasn't he also on a recent Herbie Hancock thing on PBS? With Colauita on kit, no less.
Not from the show I saw on PBS...

chris botti live with orchestra and special guests, the track why not is a drum solo masterpiece by Billy Kilson.
I went to see earth wind and fire many years ago, chris botti opened for them. i thought "smooth jazz trumpet, this will suck bad" and he brought out billy kilson, james genus, marc whitfield on guitar, billy childs on rhodes/piano, and chris came out like a MFer man. That set was insane. THey all played their butts off. Honestly i was so impressed by their show, EWF didn't even compare (which is saying something with all their pomp and circumstance). Genus killed it on that fodera.
They put that record out right after i saw them, when i saw them they did that version of "why not" and it ripped.

This is an excellent album with Martino revisiting his fusion band Joyous Lake:
Thanks for the heads up on the Chris Botti show.... ordered the dvd today!
Thread drift: Any idea what became of Mark Leonard, the original bassist from the Joyous Lake album? He kinda got overshadowed by the guitar & drum pyrotechnics on that record, but I find myself appreciating his solidity and inventiveness every time I listen to that record. But I've never found any other recording of his work!
I loved that album in the 70's, Leonard kind of did what Laird did for Mahavishnu, gave everybody else a great foundation to fly off of. Kenwood Dennard is still killing it, I recently bought a Gil Evans Orch album recorded just a few years ago and Kenwood slays on it.
Does anyone know what the spec's of his '91 Fodera are? In particular, the f/b. IR or BRW perhaps? Sounds killer.
