Errick Lewis And The Vibe Project--Jazz and Hip-Hop That Teaches All Players
Errick Lewis is a Bottom-Feeder who I said I'll be featuring. Before that I decided to look for any promo and videos. I found a jam session Errick was doing I assume in Portland Oregon. EL has played with if you read my last piece on Errick with Jay-Z,Tony Ozier ex-Detroit artist and Snoop Dogg to boot. Hip-Hop, Funk and Jazz seems to be the blend that Errick seems to gravitate toward.
As well Errick shines even though he's the bass player. Who thought a bottom-feeder would be the center-piece.Errick also plays top of the line custom made Basses by Minnie-Weather and MTD. Errick's amp rig is mainly Epifani,and his strings are DR. The Vibe project has new material out and I've reviewed a couple tunes that just fuckin' blow me away for the most part. And yes I even heavily criticize his material, even though he's basically a virtuoso bottom-feeder.
There is a special guest who'll be a bottom-feeder on Errick's new album. Errick said who it would be but he didn't say it was alright to say who it is. Believe me it's a well known bass player. Errick knows how to literally teach a clinic even when he's doing a simple jam session. he plays simply, yet it seems complicated in a way that old blues guys played. if you look at some of his videos you can see how Errick plays.
In the next week or so I'll have more on EL on the site.If you live out Portland Oregon way look for Errick Lewis and The Vibe Project. I'll have a review, interview and another bio on Errick....
