Paul Jackson - Groove or Die

Japanese pressing. P-Vine. 2014. Bassist, vocalist, composer-arranger, producer and educator Paul Jackson is known as a "Musician's Musician." a founding member of Herbie Hancock's 'The Headhunters', Paul's creative output has shaped a new direction in contemporary music. He is one of the world's most important and influential electric bassists - certainly one of the most studied and copied - and generations of bass players around the globe have been inspired by his signature grooves. Despite all it's technical wizardry Groove or Die is a highly accessible album for anyone who loves the craft of songwriting. Paul's lyrics reflect many of life's ups and downs and his vocal delivery is as heartfelt and nuanced as his bass playing. After countless years on the road performing to millions of fans Jackson sincerely believes there are only two choices in life: groove or die. To that, as Blacq appropriately exclaims in the liner notes, "there can be only one response: Groove on Paul, groove on."
