Blogging Ottinger (tim)Girl Bass Players Rock
Especially Tal Wilkenfeld. She looks like a little kid, but she doesn’t play like one.
She was at the 2007 crossroads guitar festival (organized by Eric Clapton for the sake of the Crossroads Centre, Antigua for the treatment of drug and alcohol addictions). Tal played with Jeff Beck, who is a favorite guitar player. Videos are available in the Crossroads DVD (recommended) and also on YouTube, which is embedded here:
Before someone jumps on me for being sexist or ageist or something, the “girl bass players” line is courtesy of a young lady bassist I know (Hi Andrea!).
cool female bassists:
- Tina Weymouth, Talking Heads
- Kim Gordon, Sonic Youth
- Katie Langr, Danny Fights China
- Kim Deal, Pixies
- D’Arcy, Smashing Pumpkins
- Kira, Black Flag
