We all fell in love with music because of something we heard.

I âheardâ the band âHIP POCKETSâ performing in my mind many times. As a bassist, I began developing my own voice not only as a bassist but as a writer. After years of dabbling with other instruments and developing a minimum of skills on them, I was able to use sequencing technology along with my limited skills and my writing ideas, and HIP POCKETS was born â my âDream Bandâ.

This album is about grooving â the pocket! We frequently experience the uncontrollable, even unconscious foot-tap; our heads bob and sway to a beat; fingers pop; hands clap â all because of the pocket.

Gimmicks are overused today to bring attention to the performer. I have none! Iâm not professing to be the greatest musician with the most licks and confounding technical chops, only a reasonably accomplished bass player with some musical ideas that I think others will enjoy if I can share them. Technology has allowed me to do that.

One day, before Iâm too old to know better, HIP POCKETS will become a reality and I can bring this and other material to the public live with real musicians. For now, Iâll keep pumping out the grooves with the imaginary band.

HIP POCKETS â just listen!!
