Michael League manages to make the simplest of playing extraordinary. I like how he plays, it doesnt feel like, "Hey look at me, im a badass bass player" its always well suited for the moment.

Corey Henry is from another planet, you can see it in his eyes.

Holy crap! Michael League. I never heard of you, but God damn! Fantastic bassist with a fabulous sense of rhythm and command over his fellow musicians. I feel like with Michael as your bassist that he'd be able to lead you anywhere with confidence! As a drummer, I'd be honored to jam with him.

@paulmax3185 5 жыл бұрын

It is not very common to see a guy using a matched grip playing this type of music at this level. You hear his blues rock influence ,but you also get the nice jazz top end that comes from advancing to more complicated rhythms. Very nice indeed.
