I heard a while ago that Fred Hammond was returning to performing bass with a jazz ensemble he formed. For those of you unfamiliar, Hammond is a contemporary/urban gospel music icon, with the ability to write some of the best groove-ilicious songs as well as fall-on-your-face-tender songs known in worship. But folks have forgotten, or maybe never knew, he started out as a tremendous bass player.
This cd, Grandad Turner: My Friends My Fam, marks his return to the bass and also shows his smooth jazz side. I encourage you to check out this cd; I'd start with the song below, "Marcus My Dude," (recognize Fred's vocal @ 5:16) and then go to Wayman My Friend, a song in memory of the late Wayman Tisdale.
