Thanks for checking out my FAQ section! Due to my schedule craziness, it is often impossible to respond to each of the inquiries I receive...but I definitely do want to answer as many of your questions as I'm able. Here are some of my responses to the most frequent questions I receive. I'll try to add to this as time permits. Thanks for your interest! God bless you & your grooving...
Norm,
If I was going to purchase one CD from each general style of music, what CDs would you recommend for each style (specifically with solid bass parts that well represent that style)? Thanks and have a great day.
Brice
Hey Brice-
I unfortunately don’t have a comprehensive list for all general styles as you mentioned, but the following are a few projects off the top of my head* that I feel are extremely musical examples from their respective genres (or subgenres). You can use these as a springboard for your own explorations!
*NOTE TO FAQ READERS: Please don't send in any agitated, "How come your list doesn't include (fill in appropriate artist)??" emails! :^)
Rock:
Funk:
Jazz:
Latin:
Reggae:
African:
Pop/General:
Bass Player magazine has done a number of such lists that are much more thorough, and I encourage you to check them out.
Hope that helps!
Blessings- Norm
