Jill Scott Tiny Desk Concert Features Standout Bass from Dwayne Wright
When Jill Scott hits the Tiny Desk, you know the vibe is going to be right. What makes this set feel so good, though, is the low end. Bassist and music director Dwayne Wright is absolutely living in the pocket, and it shows.
Neo soul is bass first music. The groove is the song and Dwayne Wright gets that. He is playing a New York Bass Works Jazz 5, and it sounds fantastic in this setting. The low B is tight, the mids are warm, and every note speaks clearly in that stripped down room.
This is how you do neo soul. Keep it deep and let the bass lead the way.
