Kate Davis: Just One Of Those Things
Esperanza Spalding has sparked people’s imaginations, but she’s not the only one who can sing and play bass.
Here’s a clip of 20-year old Kate Davis showing what multi-tasking is all about. The performance is from a gig at Jimmy Mak’s in Portland, Oregon in 2008.
The bass gets washed out once the keys and drums start cooking, but this girl’s got it covered all the way. Thanks, No Treble, for featuring other bassists that aren’t necessarily in the spotlight. Jazz enthusiasts are as guilty as any other supporters of music who have trouble letting go of the “new thing” in town for the “next thing.” When you think that this young lady is only going to grow and get better, it’s a wonderful thing. She is now definitely on my radar…
That’s one of our favorite things to do, Alfred. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your comment!
yikes! wow, what a beast! multitasking at its best
