Jazz Bass in the U.S.A
by Kevin Crosby
James Jamerson supplied the Motown groove and Monk
Montgomery and John Entwistle played pyrotechnical
solos. They and many other talented players proved
that the electric bass could be a vital and valuable
accompaniment and feature instrument.

Prince:
The Free(dom) Radical
by Jessica McKay-Dasent
Prince uses Lovesexy to express his love of God, and
to show how sexual experiences can be spiritual as well.
Just as Prince expresses male and female sexuality as
a jointed experience, he also brings together sexual
and religious experiences as one in the same.

SPIRITS
IN THE BASS
Joseph Patrick Moore Shares With
Zora
For me, instrumental music should express that which
cannot be spoken. Sometimes I write from the bass, other
times I write from the piano or occasionally I will
write without an instrument in my hand. With most of
my music, I try to convey a mood or set the scene for
the listener. |

The
Legacy of Pablo Casals
by Keith J. Lewis
He was particularly noted for his interpretations of
the suites of unaccompanied cello of J.S. Bach. With
the French pianist Alfred Cortot, and the French violinist
Jacques Thibaud, Casals formed a noted chamber music
trio. |
