Solo Bass in a Band! Lawson Dodds Wood Album

Posted by Benjamin on October 3, 2008 Filed under: bass, bassguitar, music, Reviews tagged: lawson dodds wood, looperlative, modulus, Steve Lawson

If you are on the UK bass scene, you will undoubtedly have heard of (or encountered!) Steve Lawson (aka solobasssteve in the social media world). If you haven’t, then check out his blog and his music. Steve is an extra-ordinary solo bass player, as anyone who has heard him with his modulus 6 string and his looperlative looper with testify. 

If you like to hear your bass in a band, then check out Steve’s latest album “numbers”, which features him as part of the Lawson Dodds Wood collective. Three amazing musicians producing music in a very different way. Nothing is pre-arranged, it is all improv.

I saw the trio live earlier this year (post here) and it is fair to say that everyone who watched was blown away. There is a six part series on the making of the Numbers album on Steve’s blog, which will give you an idea of how the production of the album worked:

Lawson/Dodds/Wood – the making of ‘Numbers’ Pt 1

Lawson/Dodds/Wood – the making of Numbers Pt 2

Lawson/Dodds/Wood – the Making Of Numbers Pt 3

Lawson/Dodds/Wood, the making of Numbers video Pt 4

Lawson/Dodds/Wood Pt 5 – What Patrick did with the improvs…

Lawson/Dodds/Wood Pt 6 – an interview with Roy Dodds

The seven track Album is available to order here . It is shipping November 24th 2008, more details here.
