Bassline of the week #29. This week I’m taking a look at another bassline which I had the privilege of recording myself: “DYKWYD”, a single from the forthcoming @butcherbrown album, “Solar Music” coming October 6. Do you know what you’re doing? I believe the first time a heard this song was August 2021 when @tenn1sh2 sent me a demo to check out for a trio show with @djharrisonrva at @thecamelrva. I was working out a bunch of bassline/chords parts on the hybrid guitar for the show but when I came across this one, the bassline seemed enough to hold its own sans chords. I remember skipping the chords altogether during the set and it was a whole vibe. Thats the mark of a true great bassline if you ask me. The song soon made its way into the Butcher Brown set and got a huge reaction from audiences all over the world. Thus, it was slotted as a BB staple. Fast forward to August 2022 at the last recording session for Solar Music and it was time to put it down on wax. It’s a really great and effortless feeling to lay down a cut that has been road tested time and time again in front of audiences all over the world. The solo section of the tune had taken many different forms over the months of playing this song out but we wanted to do something special for the album so we called in a favor from long time friend and collaborator, @braxton_cook. While opening up for @tommisch back in 2022, Braxton was playing in Tom’s band and came out for a feature every night on this song and brought the house down. It was a no brainer to give him the solo on the record. Braxton and I go way back. I grew up in Northern VA and he grew up in Southern MD so we crossed paths a few times in high school. It’s been really great to continue playing and hanging with him as well as to watch his career as an artist soar over the years. Trusty @serek_basses MW2 on this video and the record cut. Who’s excited for Solar Music?? 10/6/23 @concordjazz Cheers, R4ND4ZZO #bass #basslines #r4nd4zzo #butcherbrown #braxtoncook #dykwyd #tennishu #solarmusic #concordjazz
