BassNotes: Acoustic's New World Order
"I've always wanted to be able to solo like an alto sax player," says Steve LaSpina. "I thought of the bass as a horn and refused to be limited by its size." A melodic bassist with excellent chops, Steve revels in complex lines and adventurous note choices-check his solo on the radical reworking of "Softly, as in a Morning Sunrise" on The Road Ahead Full Text
