GRAEME CURRIE – BASS
“I’ve been all around this big wide world
From the big, big city to some one-horse town
I’ve cruised through the desert under a big Texas sky and sat and stared in wonder at the Hollywood sign”.
Graeme’s been playing his bass for forty plus plus years
He has toured with the ‘Mr. Bigs’, improvised hot jazz in ‘dives’,
grooved the blues away with them slick Soul Brothers. Slayed down the funk with mean Mo..Fo..’s
He has rocked with the heaviest and rolled with the punches; danced in the spotlight among the stars.
Stomped the ’boards in countless theatre shows while chasing creativity in recording studios.
‘Still he come back for more’
For love and from passion, it’s all about action, in happiness his soul is complete. He’s the one with the hat that fits, doing what he loves best,
best job on this planet
“I play the bass, man”
I am, The Bassman
Select your favourite mode of
repose
Draw in a breath of
contentment
Fashion a demeanour of cool
Splash with a generous
dose of ‘hip’
Dial in cruise control
Pose in continental chic
Zone in a foot-full of beat
Figure in a sexy move
Stir a little closer
Flavour with groove
Flow with feel
Filter in a twist of excitement
Flip to the rhythm
fantastic
Shimmer with the cymbals
Snap to the snare
Kick the big bass drum
Jive in the vibe
and improvise
Transfigure your mind
Into a realm of aural freedom
& transient excitement
Live in the Steady…
The Quick…
The Now
(Graeme Currie, 2001)
