Thanks for your answer. In addition to that, I can answer my question myself, a little bit: I found a new album by the guitarist Barry Finnerty & the N.Y. All Stars "Manhattan Sessions part 1". I bought it and I think it's excellent. I had never heard of Barry Finnerty before, but now I found some informations about him on the www. I like his guitar playing, I like the album, and your playing on it, Victor Bailey, is so great!

Thanks for your great compliment.I'm glad anyone's listening.The next record I will appaer on is a GREAT record by Lenny White.I'm not sure when it will be released.Thanks again for your kind words.

Hi, Victor Bailey! I would like to ask if there are any new or forthcoming recordings on which you appear as a sideman. Because although you keep saying that the "real" Victor Bailey can be heard on your own recordings, I love all of your sideman work as well. "Petite blonde" is still one of my favourites. Will there be anything new with you as a sideman? Does the Coryell/Bailey/White trio have any new plans?
Thanks!

Thank you so much Vic...

Me want to play me bass for you,to find a different space that's new
I'd like to create something cool and warm
I'm gonna play this bass for you Like A Horn
No valves no reeds no bells no keys,yet I'll play any melody
And make it feel just like when love is born
I'm gonna play this bass for you Like A Horn
Be it cool articulation or jazzy modlation
When ths bass gets to talkin' it will be improvisation

Hello Victor and other funkin' bassplayers!
Now I understand that thing with sound! Funny is, that when I listen it over and over...that sound problem is out, cause I adapted my ears for that great music...I felt in love especialy with "I Wonder", "Alfie", "Like A Horn" (nice vocal harmonies!). Cool stuff! Countdown is unbelievable! When Mr.Carter comes, my bottom is up! :-) What about lyrics of Like A Horn? BTW i know its "your" 1st release...Be sure that I'll buy next one! HEALTH, PEACE AND LOVE! Lukas Marecek aka Marastaman

Thanks

Are there any news about the official release of Slippin'n Trippin'?

Hi Victor! 

Thanks for letting a brother post on your site!  Been a fan since "Bottoms Up," and I'm looking forward to hearing your latest!

        Thanks I'm glad you lke the record.About your comments.My idea for this record was to just feature more of my bass.All of my previous cd's have had lots of special guests,sax players,guitar players etc.,and just a couple of bass tunes.I felt it was time to just feature more of myself,for a change.
        As far as the sound,as in Billy's drums,I agree.Please remember this is the first time I'm releasing my own cd.Which just means,to tell the truth,that I don't have the money that I would have had from a record company.To mix in a world class New York studio  would cost at least $1000 a day,and a top mix engineer can cost the same.Because every song is so different,I would mix one song a day,which I was able to do with a record company budget.But I didn't have the budget for a bunch of mixing days at that price.So I agree with you that the sound could be a little better in some cases.But as a new "record company" I did the best I could afford.It's gives me a lot of satisfaction to know that there are cats like you who wlll just listen to the music in spite of any shortcomings.Thanks for your compliments.
