Well as promised in this post here: http://www.ernieball.com/forums/gen...abits-franz-zappa-listen-bass.html#post581904
This week's track is nothing but breath taking, whether you are a bassist, a guitarist or even a drummer, you will enjoy it thoroughly, in fact I have never found anyone who has listened to this particular song without grinning or tapping their fingers or feet, and if you don't, there is something serioulsy wrong with ya!
Sometime during 1991, while browsing through racks of CD's in the jazz section of Tower Records, London, a song being played there totally blew me away.
Now, I knew Miles Davis and the song "So What" well before this record was out, so when the song came through the store speakers a familiar theme caught my attention, but as soon as it started to develop into the phenomenon you are about to hear I stood there with my jaw dropped for the whole of the 9:41 minutes duration and when it was over I went to the front desk asking: "who the heck was that??" The rest is history, as they say.
Mark Varney is someone I had never heard of before but for what I understand he is a very prominent music producer, who decided to get together a bunch of high profile "virtuoso" session men and recorded 2 CD's under the name of MVP or Mark Varney Project
This tracks features Jimmy Earl on bass, Brett Garsed, Shawn Lane and Frank Gambale, providing 3 amazing guitar solos one after the other in this order
- "Centrifugal Funk" from where this track is taken Guitar Nine Records - In Review: MVP "Centrifugal Funk" and
- "Actual Proof"
Sit down, turn the volume up, lay back and enjoy!!
- Brett Garsed
- Shawn Lane
- Frank Gambale
So What
I have this album! (Centrifugal Funk) Great choice!
Brett Garsed's solo on this tune is one of the coolest guitar solos ever recorded.
