Seasoned Vintage Really Old School but Modern New School. I recorded in the original STAX studio in Memphis Tenn.where Otis Redding, Sam & Dave and other STAX artists including Aretha Franklin & Wilson Pickett recorded, with Steve Cropper engineering. This in addition to playing bass for the original Motown group "The Marvelettes" live show, so I am intimate on a personal basis with the Motown and Deep Fried Soul feel and style of STAX. records from first hand experience.
That said, I've also played in Pop and Rock groups in multiple styles across the USA, including Hard Rock and Country.
I excel in knowing what bass groove will launch your song, since I've played with some of the legends in the Biz. and I know how the bass is supposed to compliment the song. I've lived with the development of bass over many decades and absorbed the evolution of bass playing, especially for hit songs. Commercial bass playing has motivated my Life as well as observing the legends of the bass guitar.

I play any style including current Modern music.

I am into ALL Music, as it has been said, "Music is the Universal Language".

I also took personal Bass lessons with Jazz Bassist Herb Mickman in Hollywood Calif. who was a student of Charles Mingus and who played with Chick Corea and Sarah Vaughn. I have 50 plus years of personal study and listening to music and bass playing to know what a song needs and what makes it a hit.
I will know what your song needs also, with your vision in mind of course.

I approach Bass playing and music from a vantage point of "Heart and Soul" & Groove, like the musicians at STAX, Motown and Muscle Shoals did. It comes naturally for me. That being said, I am a contemporary bassist up and on top of all the modern styles.

Let me help make your song a hit.
