Theres a bass run that he does on Fred hammonds Pages of life live dvd, so sick. Its right were they go into the song, "NO WAY". I hooked up with Mo on a tour in Bermuda playin for Donnie McKlurkin. Mo's real cool. Also on that live dvd check out, I want my destiny. Mo rips it so lovely on that set.
Maurice is the man! A solo is based on what that individual is feeling and wants to express not based on what the audience is thinking. Maurice gets all the work. Gospel bassists have to know it all and usually do from fusion to classical. Just look at Reese, Sharay, Darrell Freeman, Gouche, Joel S., Reggie Young, Donald Alford etc. Even Tony Russel has played with Marcus miller.
@DrCrazyRiffs yeah I would. to set it up! nothin against runs or what not..but people cant dance to that! nor understand all of it. simplicity "in my opinion" is what makes people dance...I mean you could take a the smallest run.. and depending on where you place it... it could sound sooo huge! placement and creativity is key!
Watch the generalizations. Gospel bassists do more than groove. Alot of them know theory but you play what the song calls for. Not everyone needs to play as busy as Jaco. And do some more listening. Over half of Marcus Miller's career was just "grooving" behind other artists before he did his solo stuff.
good opinion. A lot of people will get offended by what you have said but I hear you. But....generally gospel musicians do play what they are paid to play not overplay. In the "church" most organist will look at you crazy if you get loose. But....I have seen Mo display every facet of theory and he's got it. He's well rounded and one of the best in the industry!
That means he works regularly! If you play bass for a living that's what matters and please don't trip on gospel music or it's artists because "contemporary gospel" is not an easy genre to master it contains elements from various genres i.e. jazz,blues,country, latino,reggae,african and east indian to name a few. So if you don't like it that's fine but don't trip on it! Respect it!!!
Dude, I don't know what your deal is but CHILL!!! There you go with the whole greater/lesser musician thing again! Whatever you do with you gifts is on you but in his situation its his gifts that got the gigs.
GREAT! that brother got the groove like a muthafucka!

What he is, is one of the few bass players that knows what the job of a bass player really is and he does a excellent job at it!
