Freekbass - All the Way This. All the Way That. (LP)
Product Details
On vinyl, All The Way This All The Way That showcases Freekbass—the Cincinnati funk warrior Bootsy Collins calls "the new Spiritual Warrior for the Funk"—leading the Bump Assembly through deep-pocket grooves that honor the city's legendary P-Funk legacy while pushing toward contemporary territory. The album demonstrates why Bootsy personally mentored Freekbass in his home studio, teaching songwriting, mixing, and the sacred geometry of funk bass that flows from James Brown through Parliament-Funkadelic into the 21st century.
Cincinnati's funk bloodline runs deep—Bootsy Collins, the Ohio Players, Zapp, Midnight Star—and Freekbass carries that torch with reverence and innovation. After graduating from Cincinnati's School for Creative and Performing Arts and forming the nationally touring band Shag, Freekbass developed his own voice under Bootsy's guidance, collaborating with Bernie Worrell, Victor Wooten, Mike Gordon, Buckethead, and DJ Logic. The Bump Assembly's lockstep rhythms provide the foundation for bass explorations that honor the Meters while speaking to contemporary ears.
