Wendy on the bass... I so much dig Wendy Melvoin's bass playing. Whether she's laying down funk for Kate Earl's "Officer," doing fluid loop-de-loops on Terence Trent D'arby's "Sweetness" or intricate spiderwebs of color with Lisa on "Song About," Wendy routinely kicks my tail as a bass player.
Some of my faves: Skeleton key Crack in the Pavement Someday I Every day White (all of Neil Finn's One Nil/One All tracks) | |

Wendy is so cute She should grow her hair out again That's the layered music Prince's stuff is lacking at times, and some of their stuff lacks his touch | |

Her guitar work on that Kate Earl cd is badass too. Thanks for pointing out her involvement. I REALLY dig the cd anyway.. but it's cool she's on it. |

I know Incubus is credited with production on that album but the rhythm section is sooooo similar to Wendy's bass parts on "One All"/"One Nil" and grooves on other projects, that I 99% sure she's not credited for everything she had her hands in on that one. [Edited 5/11/09 16:52pm] | |

[Edited 5/11/09 16:52pm] yeah- once you pointed it out, it's pretty clear to my ears. |

Her bassline on Seal's Bring it On is SICK!!!!! 
Not to mention her stand-up bass on He Stole Our Love Away on Doyle Bramhall's debut cd is pretty damn cool too. | |
