This is one of the most ambitious albums I have run across.  The only instrument on it other than bass guitar is voice.  Before you come to a sliding stop give it a moment and listen to the beauty that comes forth from the speakers.  "It won't hold my interest!" you say.  "Horse feathers!" say I.  This is an album from the heart of a thinking and feeling human, who has so much to give.  I was skeptical for about 20 seconds, then I was hooked into it.  It is complex/it is simple.  It is here/there.  Confusing/Straightforward. Put it on and open up to the music.

The Players and the Songs
This is simple and confusing at the same time.
It is Victor Wooten on Bass.

I can't determine all the voices in order so I will just list the songs and as there are all songs composed by V.L. Wooten except OVERJOYED  by Stevie Wonder: SOMEDAY MY PRINCE WILL COME by Frank E. Churchill, Larry Morey: MISTY by Errol Garner: and A NIGHT IN TUNSIA by Dizzy Gillespie, Frank Paparelli.
