CD Reviews

A Real Showstopper
Robert Carlberg | Seattle | 11/04/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Sorry "dtneal" this is not Hamm's first solo album but his fourth, and easily his best yet.As "Christopher" points out this is much more of a band effort, due to the addition of a duo known as 'Youth Engine' and a hot guitarist named Mark McGee. Although Hamm's bass technique is still kaleidoscopically great, the other musicians enfold it and give it perspective, resulting in one of the sweetest instrumental rock albums I've ever heard.Restraint is a valuable asset for a instrumental god to learn, and this album shows the maturing of a major talent. Two last thoughts: The song he calls "The Tenacity of Genes and Dreams" sounds an awful lot to me like "Levi Stubbs' Tears" by Billy Bragg, and Hamm's solo version of "The Star Spangled Banner" is truly stunning (I never knew how beautiful that tune could be!)"
Stu does it again!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"A technically amazing bass player shows us all that emotion is just as important. If you love his other jazz/rock fusion work, this will be no exception. With the help of Youth Engine, he brings in technology without sounding Techno, and explores some amazing aural-scapes on this CD, by incorporating sounds and feelings of the city into his music. He seems to be looking more inward with his music, telling us how things affect him, not just how he sees them, and by doing so he is really defining who he is as a musician. For the first time on a CD he has truly found his own voice. And what a sweet voice it is!"
A Wonderful Evolution

"I have followed Stu's work since he played on a Steve Vai flexi-record that Guitar Player Magazine included with one of their issues (which was in 1988 I believe). Outbound definitely represents a great growth in Stu's musicality and compositional skills. I also think this is the best recorded bass tone he has ever had! The songs are all strong and very inspirational. I highly recommend it!"
