Stuart Hamm – The greatest bass solo ever
An evening pause: He goes from classical to country to rock, in less than four minutes.
Hat tip Mike Nelson.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
I thought that sounded familiar, and then I saw that this was Joe Satriani’s bassist, Stu Hamm. Yes, he’s amazingly skilled, as you would expect from someone who gets up on stage with Satch regularly. One of my favorite live clips of Satriani is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4lsB-B1O7U, and Stu Hamm does an amazing job with his bass track there, even though it’s a low key track.
