Mohini Dey interviewed by Rick Beato

[DWBass]

She said she's moving to Nashville, TN. Quite sure she'll get involved in some less fusiony situations, which may be a good thing if she's willing.

 

[RichardW]

That's the fruit of 1) starting young, 2) having incredible focus and discipline. Her comments about her father were poignant and I'm sure that relationship remains extremely complex. It will be fun to watch and listen to her grow as a musician.

Alert!:Note to self:She's touring with Greg Howe Oct/Nov!

BooHoo!
They're only touring in Belgium.

I thought you would like her slap tone better on that cut Cheese.

I do.

Following on the topic of Mohini, here she is backing Willow, it's an insane performance, not her alone with the obvious (great) chops but as a whole.

Fun thing : when i open the NPR page I though "who's the hell got a chance to be back by one of the coolest bassist in the scene", then I discovered Willow and I have to say, pretty talented too

I like NPR Tiny Desk session, I think you can't fake your way up there

 

[bassicmike]

You guys solved a riddle for me!

I was wondering who the bassist is in this show. This is AR Rahman, a legend in Bollywood music.



btw...this is pure awesomeness in every way. enjoy.

Here she is with the Berklee Indian Ensemble (2014, 18 years old, at Symphony Hall)

 

[BBQisgood]

nailed it.

This level of talent and musicianship on this show is a great thing.

 

[jerry]

 

[Dr. Cheese]

The structure of being a side musician is definitely good for her.

 

[hieronymous]

This is sick!



I wanna see a mixed video from out front to compare - she's doing some intense stuff here, how does it translate to the overall view?

I picked up her CD at the end of last year when I went to Japan - Shibuya Tower Records - one of two CDs I bought the entire trip - so glad I did, it's a great album, fun to listen to in the car!

 

[jerry]

Mohini is not on the Willow album, but its really good. Her musical vision is hip!

 

[Dr. Cheese]

The way she has her tone slightly distorting, it makes me imagine Jack Bruce slapping.
