For the first post I'd like to introduce one of my favorite bass players of all time: Tony Levin.
He is known for being one of the most innovative musicians in the last decades. In the brief video you are about to watch, he talks about the Chapman Stick, a 12-string instrument that contains melody and harmony sections, which are played at the same time with both hands.
Tony Levin is best known for his work with Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, Liquid Tension Experiment, California Guitar Trio, among others, but has also released several solo albums; nevertheless, his work as a solo artist is not as known as his collaborations mencioned before.
In 2006, he made an appeareance on the show Animal Nocturno (Tv Azteca), playing some of his solo stuff as well of some King Crimson songs. The video for this performance is shown below as a link, in case you want to see it.
Finally, I'll present a performance of Tony Levin with King Crimson, it may not be what you could expect from a average band, the music is complex, with changing tempos and "awkward" melodies, hope you'll like it.
