Groove & The Gang – 70s Funk & Disco (live)

Danny Knapp takes on one of the most demanding roles a bassist can have with Groove & The Gang — funk and disco don’t just ask the bass to hold the groove, they hand it the lead voice, with some of the most elaborate, recognizable lines in popular music. Danny handles both halves of that job: locking the pocket down tight enough to keep a room moving, then stepping forward with confidence when the line calls for it. It’s a genre that rewards a player who can be the foundation and the highlight in the same song — and this set shows why he’s built for it.
