urb Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Yes I'm a massive fan of this stuff - Gene Perez rules! I've jammed along to this stuff for years now - and MAW's remixes actually make great listening too with loads of additional parts added - especially on the bass - Perez's b-lines are supremely cool - busy but always grooving. Good shout. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey D Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 YES Gene Perez! He' also my friend on myspace, maybe he will be yours aswell! [url="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=60340960"]Gene[/url] I think has been talked about on here when the site was first started. He had a write up in Bass Player quite a few years ago. I also practice along and over this sort of music just trying out grooves or soloing as it is normally a static chord. Johnathon was great when I saw him with Groove Collective a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've jammed along to this stuff for years now[/quote] Y'beat me to it. Gene Perez is kind of like the NY equivalent of Julian Crampton in London - the industry's first call funk/house session bass player, primarily by association with a known producer. For Julian Crampton it was Joey Negro, for Gene Perez it was Louis Benedetti. Gene has his musical roots in latin music if I'm not mistaken? I've seen one clip of him playing on Youtube: Whats interesting is Gene's close working relationship with a keyboardist - I can identify with that approach quite closely myself.
