I know that bass players like Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten are contemporary bass players that make their own solo albums. But can you give me some more Spotify tips of Bass players bringing out their own music? I'm more a pop/rock kind of person than jazz oriented.
I can't think of any Pop/Rock bassists that do solo albums. They are mostly Jazz Fusion types that do. Michael Manring - Soliloquy. Adam Nitti - Evidence. Alain Caron. Mark Egan - Mosaic - A Touch of Light.
I really like Radio KAOS by Roger Waters Entwhistles smash your head JPJ had one I seem to remember it was uninspiring, and more of a novelty album. Sorry for spelling, grammar and lack of links ..still in bed
Randy Coven had 3 or 4 albums, definitely in the rock genre. This was his debut, 1986. Then Sammy Says Ouch in '90. CPR in '92 with Al Pitrelli & John O. Reilly, & Nu School with Brian Tarquin & Leslie West. Man, I haven't thought about Randy in some time... EDIT: It's not bass-specific, but Dave LaRue is worth checking out in anything he's done with Steve Morse!
Stanley Clarke, especially School Days and Rocks, Pebbles, Sand. John Entwhistle has a solo album. Jaco solo and with Weather Report. Gary Numan’s I Assassin is a showcase for Pino Palladino’s fretless artistry. More great Pino on albums by Joan Armitrading, Pete Townsend, John Mayer, it’s a long list. Ray Brown’s work. I’d rather have a great album with a strong bassist over a bassist solo.
I love Julie Slick's two "solo" albums, from before she co-founded EchoTest with Marco Machera. I put "solo" in quotes because both albums feature a variety of other musicians (including some heavy hitters). The music is difficult to categorize, but it's definitely more "rock" than "jazz." I'd call it something like "experimental prog," as you might expect from the fact that she's been touring and recording with Adrian Belew for 13 years. She's made both albums available via Youtube -- but of course you should buy'em if you like'em: Julie Slick - YouTube Terroir - YouTube
Check out Aaron Gibson. I can't recommend a specific album, as I'm still digging into his entire discography. Edit to add: Here's his website. I don't use Spotify, but believe he's on there. I found him on YouTube after a recommendation here . https://www.aarongibson.me
