A Better Motownphilly?
Posted in Bass Guitar, Music in General on August 26th, 2008 by RyanThe only problem with this article was that it put a subpar Boyz II Men song in my head. Otherwise, I loved the fact that the Detroit Free Press took some time off from their mayoral hijinks to highlight some of the great contributions bassists from both Detroit and Philadelphia have made to jazz and popular music. It’s nothing fans haven’t read before, but it’s still much-due recognition.
Coincidentally, I was listening to Philly product Stanley Clarke’s new project with Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten today. “SMV” sounds like . . . well, Stanley Clarke and Victor Wooten joining in on a Marcus Miller-produced album, which is exactly how it’s billed on the album. Fans will know exactly what they’re getting into, and I don’t see much of a market outside of that, honestly. Still, decent listening.
Now I have to go pound my head with something until that Boyz II Men song leaves.
