Andy Fraser's album, "In Your Eyes"

This has got to be the best album of the 70s that I didn't hear back then. Excellent songwriting as well as bass playing!

I wrote this back in 2021 to experiment with panning drum sounds and percussion in my mix. That's why the drum pars are on five different drumsets, so I can mimic the way recording engineers mic the individual parts of the kit and pan them in the mix.

Can you tell it was written by a bass player? 😉

Some funk, with flute, trombone, and bari sax over a driving rhythm section.

I was experimenting with some instruments I hadn't used before, so this one's got an unusual palette, with harp, flute, and banjo.

Resolution No. 9

An original song (instrumental) - fretless bass guitar, bass guitar, electric guitar, and drums. It started out as a bluesy, mean sounding piece, but then I found myself resolving it in an upbeat chorus.

Like several recent pieces, I'm using two bass guitars, with the lead instrument being the fretless bass.

Escape Velocity

A rhythm-section instrumental with two kinds of pianos and two kinds of bass guitars. I love the sound of the fretless bass and wanted to use it as a lead instrument.

One of my favorite songs of all time.  Written by Smokey Robinson.

The essence of great bass playing is to serve the music.  Paul McCartney is a master.
