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.

Meet the Tin Men
The Bass Player
by Konyka Dunson
I met him in Texas

He defines
Sexy

Hard muscles grace his tall, slim frame

He’s lean
No fat
No fillers
This bass player has nothing
but the good stuff.

He wears confidence like cologne
Intrigue rises from his skin
His dark eyes tell stories
of the lips he has tasted
of the women he left
Yearning
For more

I am
Enchanted.

He strokes the bass strings
Stirs mellow notes
that drip
into the air
Caress my neck
Slide down my back
and dance
All over my hips

With each stroke of the strings
He strokes me
And plays me
Like he plays that bass
Hard
Smooth
and Well

We do a dance of intention
I go to him
to feel
his touch
to know
his mystery
To be the woman in an affair yet to unfold
He touches my hand
His eyes never lose my gaze
and then
He backs away

He returns to the stage
where he holds me

in perpetual

Desire

I’ve heard everything is big
in Texas

This bass player put the biggest
Love Jones
on me.
