A Dingwall in the Spotlight: Nick Campbell Leads a Wild Groove on “For Your Consideration”

I first came across a short clip of this one on Instagram. It was getting a lot of attention and for good reason. Once I realized the full performance was on YouTube I had to check it out. Nick Campbell brings out his Dingwall for For Your Consideration and settles into a pocket that feels effortless. The tune is fully instrumental and lets the bass speak without getting in the way of the trio’s flow. Campbell’s tone sits in that spot between clarity and grit and he uses it to shape the groove from the start.

Gene Coye is on drums, keeping the foundation steady and giving the track its forward motion. Ruslan Sirota rips through this one on the Rhodes and fills out the sound with colorful layers. The three of them move together with an easy confidence that keeps everything tight and focused. It is simply solid playing from musicians who know exactly how to make a groove land.
