The Pino Palladino bass line from the D’Angelo track Soultronic from the Live in Stockholm (recorded on July 8th 2000). Pino has been a major influence for me since I first heard his playing on the “Standing in the shadows of Motown” CD (Accompanying the book) I sought albums he’d played on and transcribed many of the lines.

On this particular track I haven’t followed exactly the line he plays but, having worked on the various phrases and harmony, I aimed to allowed my playing to flow in the spirit of his original line. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. More to come….

1974 Fender Precision into Focusrite. Audio recorded using Logic (a mild amount of EQ used); Filmed on an iPhone 4s edited in iMovie.

THE GENIUS COLLECTIVE ARE COMING! WATCH OUT!

Ism Records present Birmingham’s multi talented Genius Collective, a live 7 piece hip hop, soul & jazz band offering an eclectic sound to get your body moving, your heads bopping and your brain thinking.

Already receiving radio support from Craig Charles (6 Music Funk & Soul Show) the band hooked up with Ism Records & Yam Who? in early 2012.
The live show and repertoire is a stunning balance between the past and present, both rich in depth history and culture. Ism has selected two fine tracks, the Genius original ‘Future’ and the sublime cover of the Amy Winehouse ‘Stronger Than Me’ which see’s the GC delivering a classic version of a legendary track.
Currently working on a number of collaborations with Great Scott, Why G? (Zulu Nation) and DME / Da Mighty Elementz to name but a few, GC are spreading the musical word across the country this summer, with gigs and festivals planned in Birmingham, London, Bristol, Norfolk, Harrogate and more.
