Not much is said of this guy.. his was the first solo bass album i bought... to be honest i was blown away....


there are a few VB basses sold, but not alot of talk of his playing.. often overlooked for some maybe unfair obvious reasons.. Omar Hakim's drumming is biblical..man that guy can hit the sticks on Low Blow.. Dennis Chambers is also incredible...Kenny Garrets horns is erm... no need for me to say...

ive got to say i love his playing...IMO his singing on Continium is not so good.. but his bass playing is of the chart.. and no he doesnt play a Fender on these, its a Pensa jazz... just happens to be be my GAS jazz bass..

these are very cool...

I agree mate! Low Blow is one of the best 'bass albums' released, because it has it all: awesome grooves, great composition, fantastic bass solos and just a general cohesiveness that has kept me going back to this album time after time. In some interviews I've read VB can come across as somewhat arrogant IMO, but sometimes the written word can be deceiving. I actually covered Graham Cracker from this album for my Honours recital at university, if I can upload it I'll link it here. I was disappointed is his other album That's Right, nowhere near as solid as Low Blow, it lacks depth and conviction I feel.
Good topic!!
