Today’s Throwback Thursday is to a moment when I was younger that solidified my drive to become a bass player. I know that a lot of musicians of my era know who Stanley Clarke is. When I was coming up, he and Jaco Pastorius were legends but I had found Stanley first. I was so into Stanley because he was always winning best bassist awards, he was part of Return To Forever and he could play insanely fast. Perhaps unsurpassed to this day on electric bass. When I was young, I just wanted to burn like him.
