"Featuring such legends as Talvin Singh; Bernie Worell; Will Calhoun; Skip McDonald; Keith LeBlanc; plus others, 'Trippy Notes for Bass' was Doug Wimbish's first "solo" album - originally released mid 1999. Now, this masterpiece of a recording has been re-issued and includes new artwork + 4 bonus remixes.

'Trippy Notes for Bass' is an interesting CD in that it isn't full of solos & flashy licks as one might expect from a musician of Doug's calibre, although the playing that is on it is certainly virtuosic. No, it's more of a fusing of refined, melodic composition with adept studio wizardry. It is also impossible to easily categorise the musical styles exhibited within its (now) 19 cuts... Exotic elements of ambiance; dance; dub; funk; jazz & world beat all appear. Actually, in that respect, the title says it all!

In 2008 Doug remains an iconic figure in the realm of the eletric bass and bass playing in general. He was one of the original Sugar Hill studio team back in the day, cutting his teeth on many of the first hip-hop tracks ever to be recorded. Since then he has played with countless On-U-Sound projects, including Tackhead, Strange Parcels and Little Axe. He has also worked as a side-man with the likes of Mick Jagger; James Brown; Madonna; Seal; Jeff Beck and Annie Lennox. Doug currently plays with Living Colour and other such avant-garde outfits as Jungle Funk & Head>>Fake."
