So I got a call from a real talented bassist/singer that hired me to do a restaurant gig that starts up next week. After talking to him about what he wants and his song selection, I'm thinking we will do about 1/4 of the music with just bass and keys (no drums accompaniment), 1/4 bass and keys with drum accompaniment and the rest of the music with bass, and keyboard in full arranger mode with the bass track muted. Anyone here work with a bassist? Did you do any auto accompaniment at all? Luckily we're going to get together before the gig to see how it works. I'm a bit concerned about how the bass will blend/groove with the auto accompaniment. I’m excited at the potential a live bass can add though because arranger keyboard bass lines can get so old... Anyways it seems like it will be an interesting gig...
