JuliousBass @ European BassDay
I played bass in New York City for various projects. I was on the scene as a bassplyer for the live poetry scene which i came in contact with The last Poets and i did alot of gigs throughout Harlem with them. I also worked on an independent movie Kung Fu Jew which i did the music for with the director. I started a band called Mindtrip which featured the original cast member of (Rent) Wilson on the vocals. I spent years at Studio Instrument Rentals working and rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous in music.
John Bon Jovi,Roberta Flack,Herbie hancock,Puff Daddy to Captain and Taneel to name a few.My role was basically if the wanted to play in New York I had to put it together with my crew.
I also worked on some of the best music videos ever made at the time.I was employed by Martine Capalbo and Matt Capalbo which lead to work with Hype Williams,Little X,Brett Ratner,Benny Boom etc.etc. It's funny now to think some of the best directors started out doing Hip Hop and R&b videos. Those were the days. We did video's ghetto style and my most favorite video was Big Pun's "i'm not a playa i just crush alot". (r.i.p Big Pun)
Soon after i got a gig with Lauryn Hill ,and i was in the do wop that thing video.The cool thing about that video was even though there was a lot of extras i was playing Bass behind her.In the video she was pregnant and the dress she wore was designed by my friends the Capalbo's mother. The video was produced by the capalbo,s and i casted the band in my scene and i was working at S.I.R at the time and i brought the equiptment and tech'd the video that day. So i made $$$! Soon after I moved too London to start music school.
The London Music School!
I didn't need to go to London to study music but i needed to get out of New York at the time. I learned Music theory which was just what i needed. In New York everything seems out of reach as a ghetto child and no one gives nothing away for free.
The main lesson I learned in London was I had something to offer despite what I was being told in New York. Jazz and Classical Music education doesn't make you a Musician,talent passion and Theory, Chords, understanding piano is what will put the missing peaces together. When you go your own way you tend not to run into to much bull***t.

Reggie's compositions and some re-arrangements of compositions by Opus Akoben, Notorious B.I.G, Marcus Miller & Michael Jackson will bring you to the desired destination... BASS!
Raised in New York, Reggie was a first call bassist during the 80 's & 90's ( Chico Hamilton, Steve Coleman, Steps Ahead, Cassandra Wilson, Branford Marsalis & Buckshot Lefonque).

“My music represents the cutting edge of New Jazz today. It’s a healthy musical mix paying homage to our forefathers & exploring our craft by journeying down new roads to help pave the way for the future. I am a purist at heart; hungry with new & fresh ideas. For me; our music must evolve & I feel I’m among the select group of musicians/artists/stylists capable & dedicated to keeping jazz music alive & strong!! “ - Reggie Washington
