Superstar (Superstar)

This is the tune that opened the door of the entire piece to the public. Most bass players will say that Spenner's work on it is one of THE masterpieces of the era. I had to lower the pitch of the recording in order for it to match the rest of the tunes (a -22)

Thanks. We're talking about two very underated players for sure. Paul

Thanks PP. I skipped the Overture because most of the material is taken from the rest of the tunes that I demoed. The other material is orchestral, non-Spenner. I'm toying with the idea of demoing some Cetera/Chicago tunes. There's a guy whose voice and solo material overshadowed his fantastic bass work in the general public's ears. Paul

Sweet moves! And what a wonderful ode to the great Alan Spenner. Some of the funkiest, tastiest lines ever conceived. Hope you get to the Pete Cetera stuff from early Chicago. Amazing stuff he laid down, and a great rhythm section with Danny. Nicely done, man!

Oh man. Hats off to you. You're the only one who's tackled this bassline on here. Good job. NIcely done.

YEEAHHH!!!!! That's a beast ass bass line. Good job man! Totally groovin' on that bass!

I am loving your JCS bass. Absolutely fantastic stuff.

You take requests? Give us the "Overture." There's a funky section in that tune where the bass groove out-funks even Bootsy Collins. Love to hear you give it a go.
