“(Give Me Some) G-String” is a track from Air, bassist Martin Wind’s one-of-a-kind bass quartet album which features Jordan Frazier (Orpheus Chamber Orchestra), Gregg August (2020 Grammy nominee), and Sam Suggs, who at 30 sounds "outrageously mature," as Wind puts it. Together they present the double bass in an entirely new way: making it the center of the action.  

The track “(Give Me Some) G-String” starts out with the beautiful sound of the four bassists before completely spinning into a different direction when drum legend Lenny White ("Return to Forever") and Gary Versace on the Hammond B3 ensure that the piece grooves mightily. The album, which also features drummer Matt Wilson, is out February 25 on Laika Records.
