Ed Lucie and Anthony Vitti: Forgotten Grooveyard #12
Berklee bass professor Anthony Vitti has a cool YouTube series called “Forgotten Grooveyard,” where he sits down with faculty, students and visiting artists at the school to kick out the jams.
“The idea behind the ‘Forgotten Groove Yard’ was to record some lesser known classic grooves,” Vitti writes. “As a bass player, I approach everything from a rhythm section perspective. My priorities are Time, Feel, Sound and Consistency. This is what I am trying to showcase in these videos. I thought that playing some old grooves with a little modern approach and technique, would showcase these aspects of playing the instrument.”
Here’s a great soul-inspired groove duet with fellow Berklee professor Ed Lucie. The two bassists trade back and forth between the groove and soloing.
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. Kevin appreciates all genres of music, from R&B to metal and everything in between. Connect with Kevin on Facebook and check his performance schedule on his website.
