The horn section is the one thing missing from Vulfpeck. Don't get me wrong, though. I love me some Vulfpeck, but a slammin' (heh-heh, that's a Huey Lewis and the News reference) horn section takes it to a whole other level of awesomeness! Funk bands need horns!

I also believe he is right. Victor is one of, if not THE, best electric bassists in the world, but his music isn't really accessible for a lot of people who aren't musicians themselves. He is a technical master, but a lot of his music isn't very catchy or have a hook to bring people in. Given the success of Vulfpeck, Cory has taken it to another level entirely with this band, and I think the only roadblock right now is just people don't know about his music. If they heard it, they'd love it!

Prolific material, always teaching here and there, always a smile and never seems to be doing anything else than having fun and enjoying the music. He just oozes dank fun awesome bass lines and I just can't muster anything but the most positive of sentiments for him. I hope one day I can dap him up and just tell him how much his music and attitude did for me. He was the first master of music I ever searched on KZfaq. This was back in dialup days. I waited hours for a 5 min lesson and demo by him and it changed my life for the better. Put me on the beautiful path of music. Victor Wooten is important to me
