Nikka Costa Just Because Pino Palladino's bassline cover

Here's a cover of this beautiful song off of Everybody Got Their Something (2001)

There's no flashy stuff here but the cohesion between bass and drums couldn't be better and Pino's contrapuntal phrasing during the ad lib, in a subtle laid-back feel & light right hand touch, just is from another planet, in my opinion.

My bass is strung with 50/105 flatwounds(from 2003!) and tuned down to C#/F#/B/E

sounds great man, been a pino fan for a while.  the hardest thing for me is to calm the F down and just let it flow

[Fjord76]

@brokenandtatted thanks dude,glad you can dig sthg out of this :)

i know what u mean about calmin the f...down but i'm convinced that u play like u behave and also because of what u grew up listening to; Pino was born in '57, he grew up listening to Motown, 60's rnb funk and later, 70's jazz fusion and u can't beat that if u see what i mean...i've been following him since the end of the 80's and all he's playing nowadays (or 10 years ago in this instance) has always been part of his style.

[brokenandtatted]

@Fjord76 lol by that logic I grew up in the 90's listening to punk music so maybe that's why I'm so erratic

[Fjord76]

@brokenandtatted lol XP

actually when i started out, i was only listening to british punk and new wave... so u never know :P

[TheComposer1979]

great relax way to play

[Fjord76]

@TheComposer1979 yeah, you know when the song is great, no need for flashy stuff ;)

[Fjord76]

@TomKreter Thanks i'm glad you liked it. i've always been one of Pino's fans since the late 80's but when he started recording with all these nu-soul artists ten years ago, i went nuts and became kinda obsessed cause that's some of the best music i've ever heard!

[TomKreter]

Very nice Video thanks for your work, I think you like Pino style very mucha Tom
