Year of the Bass?
Could 2011 be the year the bass breaks out of the shadowy background and comes front and center? It’s sure getting some good exposure the last few weeks. First, Esperanza Spalding was given the Grammy for Best New Artist (over some unknown dude named Justin Beiber), and then off-the-beaten-path American Idol contestant Casey Abrams breaks out with some superb performances in the Hollywood and Vegas weeks.
Tal Wilkenfeld has also had quite an astounding year (solo album doing well, and high visibility touring with Jeff Beck).
Bring It On!
