Phill Court Music 

On the 5th September this year I'll hopefully be taking part in the Phil Jones Solo Bass Competition being held in Penarth, South Wales (not too far from where I live)

Latest Charlie J track is out today! Bass by me 🎸 I used my "66" P Bass with LaBella Depp Talkin' Flatwound strings and striaght into Logic Pro X with a very basic B15 amp sim and FET compression.

We played the amazing 2 days music trail festival in Newport South Wales, supporting the mighty Goldie Lookin' Chain! Here are a few photos from the event by the ever talented phtographer @sebastiankolesnik for you to peruse.

Earlier this month we had the debut show! What an incredible experience playing & directing it musically! I'd like to thank all of the cast, vocalists, musicians, tech, directors & venue staff for all the hard work they put in to make this show as incredible as it was!

Our next single as Xempa | Mrs Magnificent is out 14/02. Heres a small snippet of the intro/verse. Using the same set up to record as I did in the studio.

One of my favourite guitar solos. I had transcribed & learned this on a nylon string a few weeks and thought it would be beneficial for my development to try to move it over to bass.

A quick bit of improv over a nice chord progression I've come up with

After hearing the sad news of D'Angelo's passing last week I've put together a little interpritation of the bass part to my favourite D'Angelo track - I Found My Smile Again

I remember listening to this, usually the Live at The Quick version & being in awe of Victor Wooten's fretless playing.
