&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; “I’m not just a Bass Player, I’m a Sound System” As bassist for the legendary rap label Sugarhill Records backing Grandmaster Flash &amp; The Furious Five to the pioneering Living Colour,  has lent his innovative and creative bass grooves and sounds to a roster of world-renowned musicians. Considered a pioneer in Hip-Hop bass playing and in the use of bass effects, alternate tunings and extended hand techniques, Doug’s mastery of the bass is unparalled. As one of the most versatile session and touring bassists in the industry, Doug moves readily from pop and mainstream rock to hip-hop, funk, metal, symphonic metal, reggae, R&amp;B, electronic, world and experimental music.  is probably best known as the cutting edge lead bassist in the Grammy Award-winning hard rock band Living Colour, but looking beyond the obvious, one quickly sees that Doug's influence and impact on the world's musical culture is much more vast and significant than often written or realized.&nbsp; Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five’s “The Message”, listed by Rollingstone.com as the #1 Greatest Hip Hop Song of all time, featured Doug’s bass lines as do many other Sugarhill Records classics including “Apache”, “8th Wonder” and “White Lines”. Wimbish wrote the bass line on The Sequence’s “Funk You Up”. To get an idea of the respect Doug has earned within the music industry, consider that in one week in 1991, Doug received personal phone calls from Living Colour, Bruce Springsteen and Seal, all asking him to work with them. Doug made the decision to work with Living Colour and joined the band, becoming its permanent bassist. He actively records and tours today with his band mates Vernon Reid, Corey Glover and Will Calhoun. The group’s latest album, “Shade”, was released in September of 2017. In addition to his work with Living Colour, Doug’s highly regarded career spanning all musical genres has also included recording, producing and touring with many world renowned artists including The Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger, Jeff Beck, Joe Satriani, Herb Albert, Annie Lennox, Madonna, Carly Simon, Seal, Al Green, Billy Idol, George Clinton, Depeche Mode, Talib Kweli, Kanye West, James Brown, Mos Def, Tarja Turunen, Ronnie Wood, Freddie Jackson, Michael Bolton, Schiller, Cheb Khaled, Hari Haran and Peter Wolf, to name a few. From his early days as one of Hip-Hop’s earliest architects in the Original Sugarhill Records Rhythm Section, to his long-time membership in Living Colour, TackHead, Little Axe, Jungle Funk, HeadFake, and then on to more recent collaborations including DMD the Vibes with Daru Jones &amp; Marcus Machado, Doug continues to prove himself as one of the world’s finest, versatile and most sought after bass guitarists. &nbsp; Special Mentions: , , ,  , , , , , , ,  &nbsp;

"El Baile" is now my most listened to Mix on my YouTube channel with over 2 Million Plays and counting...  Here is the original Description and Track List:

Since moving to Miami a little over a year ago, I've found myself listening to tons of Latin Jazz (i.e. "Afro-Cuban" and "Afro-Brazilian" Jazz). Whether I'm hearing that Jazz live or via my new favorite radio station 88.9 WDNA (Public Radio Miami) that Latin Sound seems to always be near me. This Mix "El Baile" is a definite reflection of that South American/Cuban sound with some good 'ole African Rhythms sprinkled in for good measure. Some standout tracks on this High Energy mix include: "Africana" by Corvino Traxx, "Saxo Drama" by Boza and The Smooth "Guanile" by Johnny Fiasco. So grab a nice Cuban Cigar, some smooth Rum, and let's get ready to Dance!!!
