Scott Firth (Public Image, Morcheeba)

 

A versatile player, Scott Firth is currently the bassist in John Lydon’s latest incarnation of Public Image Limited. Firth has waxed sides and/or worked stages with Morcheeba, Melanie C, Steve Winwood, Toni Braxton, Elvis Costello, Julia Fordham, Spice Girls, and Ruby, among others.

 

A producer, composer, and bandleader (U-sonic), Firth is a master of the PiL pocket with a deep dub resonance that growls beneath Rotten’s wary warbles.

Nathaniel Phillips (Pleasure)

 

His slap/pop groove on “Glide” was a rite of passage for bassists of my generation.

A first call session cat, producer, and composer; Nathaniel Phillips co-founded the funk powerhouse Pleasure, and plied monster grooves for artists spanning Ronnie Laws, Roy Ayers, Jeff Lorber, Idris Muhammad, Herb Albert, Stevie Wonder, Bob James, En Vogue, and Toni Braxton to cite a select few.
