Praxis: Tennessee 2004
by Chris M. Slawecki
Praxis is the operative name of an experimental jazz/rock/funk/dub quartet led by bassist Bill Laswell with drummer Brain (Les Claypool's Primus), guitarist Buckethead and keyboardist Bernie Worrell (wizard of synthesized funk for P-Funk, Talking Head, etc...). They first came to Frankenstein-like life in 1993: because like that mad doctor, Laswell stitched Praxis together from disparate parts ...

While much of Bill Laswell's ...
Dub Trio: Exploring the Dangers Of

Dub is almost always a creature of the studio by definition too. But Exploring the Dangers Of dub is ...
Bill Laswell: Version 2 Version: A Dub Transmission
by Chris M. Slawecki
Bassist, composer, and producer Laswell here reconvenes with several co-conspirators from previous dub and other world-beat projects: Keyboardist Bernie Worrell, drummer/percussionist Abdou Mboup, percussionist Karsh Kale (who served with Laswell in Tabla Beat Science and in the rhythm section for Herbie Hancock's acclaimed Future 2 Future set), and bassist Jah Wobble.
