The Bass Walk: Abraham Laboriel - Give the Bass Player Some

Abraham Laboriel is one of the world’s greatest bass players according to Paul McCartney. A lot of musicians must agree because he is the most recorded bass player of all time. I got Abraham, Pee Wee Hill & some other great musician friends to record this sort of dueling basses jazz funk grove for me so I could capture on video Abe’s amazing talents. The Bass Walk is a tune inspired by a little riff Abe played on a record in the 70’s that has since been sampled and incorporated into dozens of rap songs.

Peace Be With You

On that first Sunday evening “ On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” (John 20:19). No one but a conqueror could say words like this; He did it three times (20:19, 21, 26). It was a peace that canceled the guilt of the disciples, for they had all deserted Him and fled. He could have rebuked them for their unfaithfulness, but He didn’t. “He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. (Psalm 103:10). Jesus canceled their guilt, calmed their fears and cleared up their doubts by the word of His peace. He had “made peace by the blood of his cross” (Col.1:20). He brought peace by the power of His resurrection. The basis of all peace is found in the person and work of Jesus Christ. He is the Christ of victory. He is Risen!
