HOLDING DOWN THE BASS CHAIR

"The challenge is to discover that unique bass groove that compliments the songwriters vision, and will create lasting mojo. I want to catch the attention of listeners, and at the same time not distract from the flow and essence of a song. There is nothing more gratifying than discovering a musical pathway that leads to a memorable bass line. Creating an enduring bass line tells a story. It is a narrative. Sometimes a single note groove is more powerful than a flurry of notes. What does the song need rhythmically and harmonically ? The spirit of the songwriter, and the song itself is the segway to the quintessential bass line. Think of the space between notes… that’s where feel lives. A great bass line isn’t just heard… it is felt.
-Anthony Cook
