The Bass Walk: Abraham Laboriel

Abraham Laboriel is one of the world’s greatest bass players according to Paul McCartney. A lot of musicians must agree because he is the most recorded bass player of all time. I got Abraham, Pee Wee Hill & some other great musician friends to record this sort of dueling basses jazz funk grove for me so I could capture on video Abe’s amazing talents. The Bass Walk is a tune inspired by a little riff Abe played on a record in the 70’s that has since been sampled and incorporated into dozens of rap songs.

It is available for both Chrome and Mozilla based browsers. It makes for a better listening experience. I still long for the audio streams that used to come with the player using Flash. It trumps the ogg codec.
