Fretless Questions: Colin Edwin
Article by Eric Larson, © Copyright 2018 FretlessBass.com
I have recently had the privilege of interviewing the great Colin Edwin. I first discovered Colin’s impressive fretless bass playing while listening to Porcupine Tree’s “Pure Narcotic” and “In Formaldehyde”. His melodic approach to fretless bass on these songs sits perfectly in the music, and immediately caught my attention. But Edwin’s discography and ever-evolving bass style go far beyond Porcupine Tree, spanning nearly three decades with solo releases, various bands and collaborations, and other projects. …continue reading »

Mai Leisz Fretless Questions Interview
Mai Leisz Fretless Questions Interview

I am honored to have interviewed Mai Leisz (formerly Mai Agan), Estonian bass player and composer for MaiGroup, David Crosby and more. A very hardworking professional bass player, who caught the attention of Greg Leisz while he was on tour with Jackson Browne in Stockholm, Mai has crossed genres playing and writing with many artists, forming her own “MaiGroup”, and touring, writing, and recording extensively. Her fretless playing is sweet, melodic, and always respectful of the music. She plays a gorgeous 1981 Ibanez fretless bass that is seven years older than she is, yet her ability and musicianship go far beyond age, breathing new life into this vintage instrument, and the genres she crosses. It was a pleasure to learn more about her fretless bass playing and background.
