Gerald Veasley steht in der direkten Nachfolge von anerkannten Bass-Cracks wie Jaco Pastorius und Stanley Clarke, aber auch Oscar Pettiford und Paul Chambers. 1955 in Philadelphia geboren, begann er seine Karriere im Umfeld von Gospel und R&B. Er zupfte sein Instrument für die Dixie Hummingbirds, die Heads Up Super Band oder Earth, Wind & Fire-Sänger Philip Bailey. In Jazzkreisen bekannt wurde Veasley, als ihn 1988 der Weather-Report-Gründer Joe Zawinul in seine neue Band holte. On The Fast Track ist das fünfte Soloalbum des begnadeten Bassisten. Zu hören gibt es darauf 13 Stücke, bei denen Fusion-, Soul- und Gospel-Sounds ineinander spielen. Bezeichnenderweise heißt ein Track Next Stop Soulville, ein anderer Deep Blue Samba. Aber nicht nur für stilistische Abwechslung ist gesorgt, auf ihre Kosten kommen Jazz-Fans auch in Sachen Multimedia: On The Fast Track enthält einen CD-Enhanced-Part mit einem Konzert-Video, ausführlicher Biografie und vielem mehr.
My latest CD, "On The Fast Track", is being received well. I'm thankful that I had the benefit of the talents of my band members: Mark Knox, Butch Reed, and Chris Farr. This has been my loyal, hard working group for the last few years, so it was great utilizing their services as opposed to using "hired guns" (ie. studio musicians or guest artists). We have a great rapport that I think comes through on my new CD. Also, the extended family of musicians lended a hand: Will Brock, Donald Robinson, Randy Bowland, John Swana, Tony Miceli, Ted Thomas, Charles Baldwin, Matt Cappy, and Jeff Bradshaw. Once again, these are musicians that I have a history with and I believe that it makes a difference.
The production team of Richard Waller III, John Anthony and myself was still intact for "On The Fast Track". We have developed an effortless working relationship. In the studio, we have to actually say very little to each other. We know the result we're going for and we know when we've achieved it. I'm very thankful to work with people who understand my musical vision and in whom I can place a great deal of trust.
Thanks to the hard work of my label Heads Up, combined with the efforts of the creative / technical folks mentioned above, the CD is doing well. In fact, the first single, an interpretation of Stevie Wonder's "Do I Do" was the #1 most added single in smooth jazz radio in it's first week of release. Listeners have taken to the upbeat funky grooves, tight horn section performances and soulful soloists on the CD. I generally am not influenced by the opinions of reviewers (whether positive or not) but I must admit to being flattered by Karl Stark of the Philadelphia Inquirer saying "the grooves come from a deep place". I think they do. Most important, however, is your opinion. Check out "On The Fast Track" and tell me what YOU think! (geraldveasley. com)
