Bill Laswell

 
Over the course of some three decades, visionary bassist-producer Bill Laswell (born 1955 in Salem, Illinois) has been one of the most prolific and restlessly creative forces in contemporary music. A sound conceptualist who has always been a step ahead of the curve, he has put his inimitable stamp on nearly 3,000 recording projects by such artists as Mick Jagger, Yoko Ono, Iggy Pop, Laurie Anderson, Brian Eno, Bootsy Collins, Nine Inch Nails, Motorhead, Peter Gabriel, Blur, les Ramones, George Clinton, Pharaoh Sanders, le Dalaï Lama, Matisyahu, Angelique Kidjo, DJ Krush, RAMM:ΣLL:ZΣΣ, Sting, The Last Poets, Afrika Bambaataa, PiL, Julian Schnabel, Whitney Houston, Manu Dibango, Fela Kuti, Herbie Hancock, William Burroughs

 Bill Laswell - Bass Terror (vinyl LP)
2018
Sub Rosa
