What Did He Say?

Victor Wooten

Bass-as-lead-instrument. Dense, playful fusion that experiments with backwards masking, vocal mimicry, and gravity-defying percussive thumb work.

August 19, 1997 · Compass Records

A playful and intellectually stimulating exploration of rhythm and hidden messages.

Moments Worth Listening For
The uncanny moment in the title track where the bass seems to speak English through sheer phrasing.
The transition into the breakneck speed of Cherokee where the bass lines blur into a singular melodic hum.
The atmospheric shift during The Sojourn of Arjuna where the composition moves from fusion into a cinematic narrative.
