Pure Soul .... Dane Alderson

Right? When he's not on the road, Dane plays a weekly Monday night gig at a little restaurant/bar here in Charlottesville. For such a small town, we have a lot of good bassists here, but he's on another plane entirely. It's been an education.

Man, we got killer bass players all over Virginia.

Nice! That one goes back to his P-bass down-under days.

Returning the favor: Here's one from last winter with Dane playing a slightly more "out" vibe on "I Shot the Sheriff," on the ERB he's been crushing for a few years:

Thanks for posting the video! :hyper::hyper:

He has elite chops, but is equally melodic!
He is currently in my top 10 favorite bassists! drooldrooldrool

I'm sure they do. I haven't listened to their new stuff much yet. I am a huge Jimmy Haslip fan and it's hard for me to move on. He's WAY better then Felix was though. He just didn't seem to fit the band at all.

Jimmy Haslip is great, but it's really hard for me to watch a left-handed player. Some part of my mind tries to play along, and it doesn't work and makes me feel all funny inside. So... Yeah. What were we talking about?

I hear ya. I actually had a lesson with Jimmy about 6 years ago. He sat across from me and his bass went the same direction mine did. Actually, after a few minutes, I kind of got used to it.

I'm also a die-hard fan of Yellowjackets and Jimmy Haslip ... honestly Dane's performance on the latest Jackets' record reveals some lack of integration between him and the more jazz- oriented rest of the band IMHO ...
