Hello,
I just wanted to know who you consider the best bass player around, and where does he perform ... also with who he's playing ...?
I would have to say that Maurice Fitzgerald (Fred Hammond, John p Kee, destiny's child) is one of the best. He understands the musical language very well and know how to breath in his playing . Great musician !
Would any of you know where Maurice's established , so I can see him perform more often ?
Thanks , I appreciate it !
All Luv.

Yo, yall need to check out this dude who is kind of under the radar. His name is Ethan Farmer and I just saw him in A.C. last week hittin for Babyface. Yo, he is the truth. He belongs to a group called the Movement Orchestra and this band is a collection of some of the sickest musicians on the planet. Complete with horns, strings Brian Moore on drums, vocalists and my man Robbie Lewis (founder of Here II Praise) doing most of the writing, arranging and playing keys, guitar and other instruments!!!
Check them out at www.movementorchestra.com trust me you won't be disappointed.

There are a lot of amazing bass players-past, present and future. I must give props to my favorites and the ones who have influenced my approach-THE O-B'S or Original Bassists. Monk Montgomery(Wes' brother who was the first to use the electric bass in jazz), Stanley Clarke( My main influence and the greatest of all time), Bootsy Collins, Larry Graham, Louis Johnson, Abe Laboriel, Bunny Brunel, Alphonso Johnson, Jaco, Marcus Miller, James Jamerson Sr., Anthony Jackson, Danny Wilson(Jeff Lorber Fusion), Brian Bromberg, Ron Carter, Ray Brown, Paul Chambers, Jimmy Blanton, Charles Mingus, and Ralphe Armstrong. I am sure that there are more that I forgot or am not aware of.
GOD BLESS!!

Maurice Fitzgerald has a way of playing that just amazes me, but I love the way that Tony Russell, Joel Smith, and the bass player for Tonex's Out the Box (sorry can,t think of his name at the moment) play. But my favorite player is Terrence Palmer. Once I saw him play on Isreal's Another Level DVD, I was hooked.
