The LOST ARK of Bass Solos: John Patitucci

#bass #jazz #transcription #analysis #paulthompson
I recently discovered a gem of a bass solo played by a 21-year-old John Patitucci in 1981!! I'll break down what he's doing and how it compares to his playing today. Here's a link to the entire song:

"Carry My Blues Away" by Tamarack -    • Tamarack / Carry My Blues Away  

And you aren't familiar with the "Tooch", check out my list of 5 of my favorite JP recordings including his solo work, the Chick Corea Elektric Band, the Wayne Shorter Quartet, and Michael Brecker!
