stingrayPete1977 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I prefer her on upright but then again she is funky on the fretless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philparker Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Yes, I'm a big fan - the iTunes download gives you all the videos with the album and recently, on holiday, I was chilling out on my balcony with the videos playing on my iPad with the music streaming through Portable Bose system and that created a couple more fans as well!

fatback Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Oh yes, although my affections have since been transferred to the wonderful Linda Oh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo1978 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Bought her 'Esperanza' album purely on the album cover :-D. Luckily the music was good and have followed her career since! There is a great youtube clip of her playing in the Whitehouse, just bass and singing - really love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbobothy Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 mmm, yeah a bit good isn't she ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbassist Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 What I love about he is that her playing is so individual. I think her singing must help as it just seems so natural, she really is the real deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubassman Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 Agreed ..she makes incredibly complex things look so simple and effortless. Most of us would be happy to just have her bass lines but to be singing like that on top as well ! Awesome stuff ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Ridiculously talented...what's not to love about her funky stuff. She's a bit like a jazzier Erykah Badu on bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 She is quite obviously not a proper bassist. Singing at the same time? You know the bass police will be arresting her pretty soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was watching Richard Bona the other day and thinking about how singing bass players have obviously beamed in from another planet where everyone has two brains. I mean, play fair.

To sing that which one plays: great. To sing that which one isn't playing: enormous..! Wayne Shorter, to boot. OK then, respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
