Kiwi Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Abe does it for me, I just like the guys approach and the way he fits incredible technique into the song so musically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee650 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 +1 Abe plays nothing but nicely slapped minims on Randy crawfords "you might need somebody" and sliding down to a tenth double stop on "trade winds" just makes me smile a mile wide, i love Abes playing more than the 1000,s of wonderful musical talented bass players around in this world, he,s played on some muzak stuff buthe,s also done pop, jazz soul, funk, the man does it all, with a humble attitude and love for every project he plays on, his stuff for george benson and quincy jones is sublime, he is a classically trained guitarist (at berkely) and its amazing how he brings that rasguedo technique to the bass, i find his playing very inspirational and have always found great joy in his lines, and blow me his son is just as amazing as a drummer in the genes i think , sorry if im ranting but im a big fan. enjoy the music- lee Abe does it for me, I just like the guys approach and the way he fits incredible technique into the song so musicall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassMunkee Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I do think "chops" is a great word though, and conincidentally I had one last night for my dinner, and jolly nice it was too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
