[mouldon]

Big love from STL.  Can't get enough of SF&FCH

[cannabassist]

he's just banging on his bass, no groove. he should stick to hand drums or something

[terrykumar]

he grooves like hell, its just that you cant hear the notes properly. he probably use stainless steel strings.

picollo bass as well. (mind the typos).

a hell of a bass player. lots of african influence there. its like you put marcus miller and bona together.

[GecSword]

Agreed 100%

[MattMurphyDrums]

have you EVER heard him live!?!?! Guess not. He grooves his ass off.  I'd do some research first, before you say something like that.

[slapbassman]

[mamonperry]

SLAP BASS PUNK, I HATE SO-CALLED MUSICIANS LIKE YOU WHO HATE ON THE GOOD CATS BECAUSE THEY'RE BETTER THAN YOU, THIS CAT AND I PLAYED IN THE SAME JAZZ/FUNK BAND IN HIGH SCHOOL, AND HE SHARED HIS KNOWLEDGE WITH EVERYONE, SO INSTED OF BEING ON THIS SITE HATIN, YOU SHOULD GET YOUR ASS IN THE SHED, AND WE'RE BOTH FROM EAST ST LOUIS SO, WATCH WHAT YOU SAY IF YOU RUN UP ON SOMEBODY FROM THE "BOOGIE" PUNK, WE DON'T LIKE BITCHES LIKE YOU, GET IN THE SHED SO YOU Can play like "ROACH" W one day

[slapbassman]

Ok buddy you need to first off chill out. Second he drags a little bit during the solo. And third I didn't "hate" on him. Also watch who you call a bitch because man honestly we are all brothers in music and you need to just well as I said chill. I just don't get you using the profane language. I know what I'm doing but maybe you should be hittin' the shed instead of hating on constructive criticism. So go back to your little hole and sit here and hate on others.

[DedehShadow]

This is how you play a bass ^^

[RedBlocks]

Good job :)

[pdxbent]

I remember bar-tending at the Sands Winners Circle lounge and watching Rochon play solo's with The Checkmates. That was the highlight of my night, and made it possible to get through the Checkmates!!! The grove that he laid down made that gig. You rock then and you rock now! Good to see you with Jerry and the gang. Ever coming to Hawaii?

[Jonabelle23]

[mamonperry]

roach, when we were in high school, you were "stanley clarke" and i "george benson"! now, you are ROCHON WESTMORELAND AND I'M PERRY MAMON. thanks for showing me that E MINOR 9 chord in jazz band rehearsal in high school. every time i use that chord, i think about what a great influence you were on me. GOD BLESS, and don't forget the "WOODSHED"

[hhhheennnrryyyy]

thats a nice ass soundin bass...

[AndyS1991]

impressive

[gruvemaster56]

Fabulous playing Rochon, Best sound I've heard too, is that an Alembic Spoiler, does anyone know what year,

[kaki9870]

sund like bass but dont look like :P

[melodicmajor]

Rochon is one of todays greatest bass players! I was freaking out the first time I heard him playing on the Bill Champlin record 'mayday'.

[marshnyoung]

this guy plays a lot like victor wooten and trust thats a big compliment for a bassist

[muller1007]

Amazing solo, a shame it's cut off. Fantastic Alembic bass btw. I just love those Alembics.

[ACTAentertainment]

We ran out of tape at the end of a really long set.

We will shoot another of Rochon soon.

[dustin6336]

Roch!!! I love your playing, man! I will see you every Monday I can!!!

[MarloweDK]

Rochon W has been a huge inspiration since i heard him on Bill Champlin's live album "Mayday".

Amazing player!!

[jfunch]

Agree! Mayday is a fabulous album and Westmoreland a great bass player. This solo resembles more or less the solo on Mayday.

Btw.: You're not bad yourself MarloweDK

[bassplay56]

Im in agreement somebody else said about you Marlowe you can understand the concept of what you see and explain it to others what a guy is doing. I am from America born in the Ghetto and you have greater command of your instrument than I have of mind hell I almost question your genetic line you may not be as fast as the ones you admire but you can lay down your own groove and have the ability to create your own lines.

[VegasDaveOne]

This cat can play!
