This album is a solo bass album. Not too many bassists would do that. It explores the bass in ways that only Wooten
can. Why? Wooten is the probably the best bassist of
his time. I think he is far better than
Ron Carter even. He needs no other
musician to aid him to fill out the sound.
In fact, I think the summit of music’s super powers, the Dennis
Chambers, Greg Howe, and Victor Wooten album didn’t quite capture the essence
of these players very well because they are all capable of performing solo and
for them to play together tripping over each other’s beats must be very
difficult. So, I would recommend this
album for anyone, and I would expect that just about anyone would like it. Just because I would recommend an album for
everyone however does not mean that I would also expect them to like it. There are some vocals on the album. However, they aren’t central to the album,
and they add very cleverly to the sound.
