The fate of bass players? To be shamefully ignored while the front man gets all the attention. Boy, is that a mistake... Bass maestro Mike Hatton, like many musicians, plays in more than one band - he can be found delivering smooth Jazz grooves, or a solid bedrock for powerhouse blues, or even harking back to 60s power rock.
like
many musicians, plays in more than one band - he can be found
delivering smooth Jazz grooves, or a solid bedrock for powerhouse
blues. On top of this he crafts very considered and delicate works
for solo bass. And he's being doing this for
generations.
Mike plays
on several excerpts from his new album, Bassic Salvation on this
podcast, and he's also on the theme music you hear in Series 1 of
Lives in Music: Boksburg Jive Toon, in his band Big
Q Fish.
The Lives in Music series celebrates people who have spent a lifetime in music. They may be famous; they may be people who have spent their lives working in the background for the love of it. They all have stories.
