Ben Harper, Stanley Clarke, and Stewart Copeland: So Fool For Love

by Kevin Johnson Saturday, March 10th, 2012

Drummer Stewart Copeland has a great habit of putting together random jam sessions and recording them. (Check out this one with Les Claypool, Neil Peart, and Danny Carey).

This time he posted a jam with bass legend Stanley Clarke and guitarist/vocalist Ben Harper playing the tune “So Fool for Love.” As if the bass/guitar unison groove isn’t cool enough, it turns out the get together was completely improvised.

“The players had no idea who would be here or what we would play, but ten minutes after arrival this is what happened,” Copeland wrote.

That, my friends, is musicianship.

In his time with No Treble, Kevin has met hundreds of amazing bassists and interviewed icons like Jack Casady, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, and more. He's a gigging bassist performing jazz in Northern Virginia and bluegrass with The Plate Scrapers up and down the East Coast.
