'Underground ' review in latest Bass Player magazine
Tue, May. 23 2006
Here's a disc for those of you who like your funk smooth and sophisticated. Kenny G's man down low, VAIL JOHNSON, stretches out on his new solo release, which sees the chops monster slapping the spit out of his basses on funkier tunes and taking expressive melodic leads on mellower numbers. It's not just slapping- Vail's other plucking techniques are no less astonishing. Just about every track is bound to get you thinking, 'I wish I could do that.'...Brian Fox reprinted with permission
