Inspiring Jazz, R&B & funk Music From “Bassmanegg”

Posted on 28/07/202328/07/2023 by Henry Niccodemus

My musical journey began by playing the trumpet in Elementary and Jr. High School. In the seventh grade I made the transition over to the Tuba. The fact was that everyone else played the trumpet too and there was a great need for someone to play the Tuba. That is where I started and fell in love with the foundation of the bass and how very important it was to the overall sound of music in general. I started playing the electric bass when I was 14 years old and my first instructor was Mr. Dan Bowens. I continued my musical journey at Suitland Sr. High School and at Prince Georges Community College. I am also one of the founding fathers of the popular 1980’s Go-Go band named Ayre Rayde. We played in and around the Washington, DC area for about 10 years. That is where I truly learned the essence of funk and the importance of locking in the groove with the drummer. I am also a managing partner and the bass guitarist for Phaze II. Phaze II is a six-piece contemporary jazz band that has been performing together in and around the Washington, DC area for close to 20 years. Phaze II was chosen the winners of the 2005 Capital Jazz Challenge Competition. This competition was held at the 13th Annual Capital Jazz Festival in Columbia, MD. We were the house band for the Catch a Rising Star Showcase at the Capital Jazz Festival where I served as the Music Director. I am also the bassist at Victory Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Alexandria, VA, Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Arlington, VA and St. Matthews Baptist Church in Capitol Heights, MD. In 2008, I had the honor of playing for Pope Benedict in front of about 60,000 people at Nationals Stadium in Washington, DC. In 2010, I had the opportunity to travel to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for three months and perform with Hajji & the Jump Street Band. I also served as MD for the legendary Regina Belle and in 2016 had the opportunity to travel to South Africa with Regina and legendary The Manhattans. These were three life changing experiences that I will never forget. I have also had the privilege of working with such great artist as; Regina Belle, Kenny Lattimore, El DeBarge, Frank McComb, The Softones, The Intruders, CeCe Peniston, MeL’isa Morgan, Paul Taylor, Club Nouveau, Matthew Whitaker, Conya Doss, Bob Baldwin, Tim Bowman, Tony Exum Jr., Dee Lucas, Keith Killgo, Ricky Wellman, Lori Jenaire, Marcus Anderson, BK Jackson, Althea Rene, Gail Jhonson, Oli Silk, Lynn Fiddmont, Kevin Whalum, Cindy Bradley, Jackiem Joyner, Lin Roundtree, Special Occasions, NexXzit, Youthful Spirits, The Men for Christ, and the late Sam Smith along with countless other artist. I would like to thank my loving parents Elbert & Mary Norton for all of your love and support. A very special thank you to my queen Ramona for being my number one fan! To the Parker family & my VTMBC family thanks for always being there for me! Most of all I want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for blessing me with the ability and having the privilege to make the beautiful sound of music

Time out with “Danny Echo!

Posted on 16/07/202316/07/2023 by Henry Niccodemus

Taking the name from one of his many guitars fx pedals Danny Echo combines brit-pop melodies, classic rock vocals with the alt-pop excitement of a Spacex launch!!
With life spinning out of control on a U.K. tour with **The Ryecatchers**, Danny decided it was time for a change…
Returning to Vancouver, Danny realized the need to continue the rainy city’s musical heritage. After being awarded money from Vancouver’s PeakFM as part of the Peak Performance Project he and fellow Ryecatcher **Mark Christopher** headed to the iconic Mushroom studios. They recorded their song “Tomorrow Today” with **Jeff Dawson** (Daniel Powter) and got it mixed by **Mike Fraser** (ACDC, Mother Mother) at another historic studio, Bryan Adams’ Warehouse. The song gained some notoriety getting spins on Vancouver radio stations The Peak-FM, 99.3 The Fox, CITR, CO-OP, CBC and Cariboo’s’ GOAT FM, with the video and music streaming everywhere.

After that initial spark, two albums followed. The first repetitiously self-titled “Danny Echo, Danny Echo”, and the more guitar driven “Rock Bottoms Up”. The EP “unplugged and Unglued” showcased a quieter side with acoustic takes on new and previously released tracks. Playing this material live took Danny to Toronto’s NXNE opening for Redd Cross at Lee’s Palace, a couple western Canada tours and a five-date jaunt to Japan.

Taking a short break from the pop-rock sound Danny branched out and took on bass and drum duties on the self-titled album from neo-grunge outfit “**Clementine**”. After a tumultuous tour Danny left the trio and felt motivated to get back at it with some new music of his own.

The following year Danny released the “Gorillaz” inspired “**Atmosfear**”. During the filming of the video Danny asked the videographer and Hip-Hop artist **Tyrow James** to perform a verse in the song at the video release show. This inspired a “**re-mix**” of the tune and a subsequent release of both versions on 7” vinyl.

More collaborations and side projects follow with guitar, BG vox, and video producer duties in the psych-rock outfit “**The Walk-Ins**”, live guitar and BGs with **Scott Perry**, whistling on the track “Painted Gold” byHuman Girl, singing about tattooed fans on “After the show” by **Neon North** and starting the art rock trio “**The Swimming Hammers**” with two members of East Van punks “**The Shit Talkers**”.

Following the advice of co-workers to not “quit his day job” as a SPFX technician in Vancouver’s busy film industry, and during a pandemic Danny found time to finish the new single “**Zeros and Ones**”. It is currently planned for release with accompanying video in spring of 2022. Look for it wherever you consume your music streams.

Always one for safety, Danny obtains all the appropriate permits, and ensures there is at least one fire extinguisher on stage during performances.
