Pino Palladino - Bass Players You Should Know. Ep1

So let's talk about the mighty Pino Palladino.
While most bassists are known for playing with one band or working within a single musical style, Pino Paladino has built a career with a staggering diversity of projects that goes well beyond the bass. During the 80s he put fretless bass on the pop music map with Paul Young, Don Henley and numerous others. In the 90s he was called for sessions with everyone from Eric Clapton to Elton John. Next came his hook up with D’Angelo on the singer’s heralded album, Voodoo… not to mention replacing the late John Entwistle in the Who, touring with Nine Inch Nails, Simon and Garfunkel or the John Mayer Trio!
In this video we're going to be looking at his career, the artists he's recorded with, his favourite gear and everything in-between.
If you enjoy this biographical video essay, make sure you let me know who you want us to cover next in the series.
As always, see you in the shed...
Scott :)

    I got to hang out with Pino 10+ years ago in Chicago. I knew he was a musician but I thought it was just one of my boss's friends. He came out with a few of us for some late night drinks, had some laughs. Night wound down, said he had to get some sleep for a gig the next day. "Alright, good luck man! Nice meeting ya." ……. Saw him on TV the next day playing Wrigley Field with The Who. Had noooo idea. Thanks for filling me in on who that nice guy was.

    I loved that fretless bass riff on 'Everytime you go away' from Paul Young in the eighties, got the 'white city' album from Pete Towshend and loved the bass line in 'a new york minute' from Don Henley. Little did I know it was from the same bass player! One of the greats and most versatile, surely!

    Pino is a bass GOD!!! His lines in Paul Young's songs turned me on to fretless when I was a kid in 1985 and then later I heard Mick Karn (hint hint). Because of them both, my first bass had to be a fretless no matter what others said and I'm happy I went that way almost 30 years ago. Great video, Scott!

    I first saw Pino play when I was 17 years old - 31st December 1981 when The Police played in Edinburgh, Scotland. The support band were Jools Holland and The Millionaires, the bass player being a young Pino!!! I had been playing bass for a couple of years at that point, but seeing Pino play changed my whole viewpoint of what a bass player could be! His playing was incredibly solid, with plenty of fills which didn't interfere with the other musicians. I had never seen anyone play with such a great sound, fluidity, dexterity, and sheer groove like that before. I instantly thought, "I want to play like THAT"!! I've been a fan ever since, and an honoured to have since spent time him personally. (Incidentally, the bass he was using on the Police support gig was a red Fender P-Bass with an added J-Bass pickup, no pickguard - instead it had a small metal curved cover plate over the control cavity)

We chatted for just a couple minutes (I didn't want to be that guy) and he was gracious enough to pose for a quick picture. Awesome 5 minutes for me. He was as he appears to be on all the interviews I've seen. Just an awesome person and an amazing player.

Most of us will never come up with the kind of parts he did, no matter how good we are. It worked for him, but that is no guarantee it will work for us.

    Sometimes being illiterate helps if only for the idea that a person's approach is different. This can be especially hard for classically trained musicians to understand. They may be often if not exclusively rooted in how something "feels" and much less within the mathematical confines of how something is supposed to be played. Certainly the shorthand to understanding more complex scales, chords and melodic relationships -- that is being musically literate will inevitably improve a person's palette when writing but it's not impossible for someone to find success otherwise.

    D'Angelo.... September 17th, 1999 it was the first episode of the 4th season Chris Rock show. Spike Lee was the guest. I was 20. Embarrassingly, I didn't know who Pino, D'Angelo or ?uest was but when I heard Chicken Grease played live, I was so transformed by it, the moment it was done I got in my car, drove to the local Borders books and bought the album. There is no bass playing on any album before or since that has done more to influence how I treat the instrument today. For me, the best bass players are the ones who understand how to organically become a part of the song, Pino's playing on that album sounds like the natural world wrote it. Like the ocean carved it out of a cliff face. The whole album flows that way.

    Really excellent video. I had no idea he had done SO many. Other sessions and successes!... I've always been mesmerized by his INCREDIBLE fretless work! Paul young-- every time you go away should be required listening for fretless students! And Henley! New York York Minute, and also Sunset Grill!! Ive never heard anyone make fretless moan and howl like an alley cat like PINO ... soo soo talented!... Keep the videos coming...very informative and even if you've been playing 49 years like me, theres ALWAYS more to learn-' and Yout Nailin It !! Thank you :)

He played exactly what I think the music needs, and found my style matches very much to his...Pino is awesome !!!! Love it !

    Andre Langenbach, I watched a profile and interview of Lee sklar on KZread a while ago. His backstory is extremely interesting and he's got a lot of good tips for people looking to make a career in music. He actually started out playing piano but discovered in junior high or High School that there were already too many piano players ---- but they were in need of a bass player, and he was like, well sure, I'll try that. And then he heard and felt what a bass guitar could do. The rest is history.
