Her sound, to me, is like a fusion between Anthony Jackson and Les Claypool. Agree?

Mohini Dey - 2019 NAMM
- Thread starter crios
- Start date
Very talented bassist. I listened because I never heard an Anthony Jackson influence in her play before. Still don't. Just a different approach.
i tried to give it more than 20 seconds. i failed.
There are some people who talk all the time without ever saying anything worth hearing. That is what listening to Mohini Dey is like for me.
Think tabla!
That's why most of you don't get what she does.

Man, one day she's really gonna regret getting that tattoo.
I get exactly what she's doing. I'm just over the uber choppy playing by virtuoso players. She's young and talented but it's a shame she's falling into that hole. It no longer appeals to me. To each his own. Give me a cool funky groove.
I am a pretty fan of Mohini Dey, it would be great to her lock in for a set of songs.
She has had great chops for years, I see anything new this year, but her presentation was much better.
She sounds very little like Anthony Jackson, nothing like Les Claypool, and the comparison to a tabla player is ridiculous.
But that's fine. She can do her own thing; she doesn't have to imitate others or be derivative. She is at NAMM, playing chops-heavy music, perfect for NAMM.

She sounds like an emotionless robot.
I don’t hear either. Definitely not hearing anything akin to Claypool. She’s fast and clean but there’s no pocket. Lots of technique but I don’t get the appeal

No clue on influences....I will just say her sound is not for me and not what I consider a bass player in a band.
Tough crowd! I dig her stuff and realize she is doing what is expected at NAMM. She really does play off the Konnakol system and look forward to her future endeavors. It would be cool to see her with Steve Smith who also studies Konnakol.
