......Matted Bass

Matt Brooks

 
My influences are vast. Growing up with two older brothers there was a back catalogue list as long as your arm. There was always music on in the house. Whether my Dad was listening to Shostakovich or my brothers were competing for volume with Guns n Roses and Aerosmith, there was always music.

 

 

 

Please have a listen to some of the artists that have graced my past and present................

I got into Jazz when my brother said 'If your serious about the bass check out Weather Report, I hear they had a good bassist' The understatement of the year!! And Jaco Pastorius became my idle....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Along with all the artists here (to show just a few) Jaco changed the way I thought about music. I still had the amazing fun element that comes with playing and performing music but at that moment I had a need to conqure the instrument and become the best I could.... Needless to say I'm still trying!!
