journey to love
There’s a certain kind of jam to which mostly fellas respond. “Silly Putty” from the “Journey to Love” album on the Epic label 1977 is one them. A purely instrumental tune, it’s loaded with a funky attitude and Stanley Clarke’s approach is smokin’… with a vengance.
Previously, the acoustic/electric bass’ role was as an indistinct “fill” instrument relegated to the background, with a few exceptions. One had to listen quite closely to follow its’ musical contributions.
Stanley’s slap/pluck technique brings it front and center.
