I don’t think I’ve ever heard an album with #DannyThompson on it that wasn’t good, at least in terms of the #bass, but his contributions to the sui generis album Songhai are particularly remarkable. #RIP #music #MusicSky #bassists #bassplayers

On a personal note: this is my spouse and the new single of his band came out today. You can find it on the usual platforms. Search for The Dark Wave - One of these days.

If you’re curious that is.

There were plenty of bass players before Les Claypool, and Les' stuff in and out of Primus has been incredible with some wild funk stuff, both more standard and not. But there was nothing that sounded like this before Frizzle Fry, and there won't ever be anything like this again. This shit is 100% original Claypool insanity, and we're lucky to have lived through this. The 1990s were fucking MAGICAL
