COVER

INTERVIEW

Contributing to over 2000 albums and numerous other musical projects , Lee Sklar ’ s presence in the bass world has been widely felt and enormously enjoyed . With Lee pushing 70 this year , being as active as ever , I am looking forward to hearing him soon in a venue nearby .
Lee ’ s basslines have been pivotal in my own musical growth since I was a kid . His choices have influenced my revisiting a piece of music repeatedly . The subtle , precise way he has chosen to colour songs is , in my opinion , one of the main reasons these songs have become hits .
Yet , as is often the case , Lee , the consummate bassist , has kept a low profile in the back and you might not have realized he was there … simply Google his discography and body of work and you will get my drift .
Without further delay , I am immensely pleased to share our video cover interview with the ever-transcending pillar of the bass world , Leland Sklar !
