Steve Lawson Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 not sure if this should go here or in 'events', but anyway... [b]March 17th, Tower of Song in Cotteridge. £7/£4 concs. [/b] Me, Italian bass genius Lorenzo Feliciati, and fab solo bassist Russ Sargeant Promo blurb below: FB event page is at https://www.facebook.com/events/274957155969270/ hope to see some of you there! [b]The first ever Birmingham Bass Night is here next month! featuring three amazing performers.[/b] Joining Brum’s resident solo bass maestros, Steve Lawson and Russ Sargeant will be headliner, Italian bass-legend Lorenzo Feliciati. [b]Lorenzo Feliciati[/b] - one of Italy’s most respected bass innovators, Lorenzo Feliciati’s combination of electric jazz with progressive rock and electronica elements, coupled to his amazing dextrous skill on the instrument, make for a compelling and exciting music-world. Receiving his initial impetus to play bass from seeing Jaco Pastorius with Weather Report, Lorenzo added Mick Karn, Pino and Percy Jones to his list of fretless-inspirations and forged a celebrated career as both a side-man and a band-leader in his home country, and further abroad. His latest project, Naked Truth, featuring King Crimson drummer Pat Mastelotto, brings together his twin loves of jazz and progressive music, and has been critically acclaimed worldwide. [b]Steve Lawson[/b] - it true that there aren’t too many musicians who’ve managed to forge an international music career as solo bass guitarists. But in the last 13 years Steve Lawson has toured the world, produced 20 albums (10 solo, 10 in collaboration), been featured in numerous magazines and newspapers, played most of the major bass events, had radio airplay on four continents, and built a reputation as one of the respected bass teachers and ‘new music economy’ thinkers around. His approach to looping and layering his bass in real time builds complex and beautiful soundscapes that sound very little like a bass at all. Has to be seen (and heard) to be believed. 'Steve Lawson is a brilliant musician. I've known about him and listened to him for many years. He may not be one of the most famous bassists but he is definitely one of the most talented' - Victor Wooten [b]Russ Sargeant[/b] - Russ Sargeant is a bass player and multi-instrumentalist based near Birmingham. He uses live looping and effects to create beautiful layered music - sound upon sound; sometimes with multiple instruments but mostly only using electric and acoustic basses. His music is a blend of Ambient, Jazz and eclectic sounds and has been described as, “subtle layers of sound that emerge gracefully like cinematic soundtracks”.
