word..i got only one if his albums"the Spin"love his music&bass playing...am currently reading about him&going to buy all his albums..👌this is music.the real deal..
And I must add that it was I who introduced him to Monk Montgomery, legendary bassist who is the brother of Wes Montgomery. Fernando loved his album. The music instructor would always try to keep us away from the jazz idioms.
Fernando and I were in the string ensemble and stage band at Detroit's Pershing High. Played upright bass 2nd string. Learned a few things along the way.
Saunders is a fantastic bass player. What amazing musicians... Is magic. They played great concerts with the genius of Lou Reed (cursed artist). In this context i discovered them 🙌🏾
I got hip to Fernando as he played with John McLaughlin's One Truth Band with Tony Smith (drums), and then with Jan Hammer Group and they played with Jeff Beck for a little bit. This was before he and Tony joined Lou Reed. They were kind of a bass/drum duo. Both great players. There's some bootleg Jan Hammer live recordings with Fernando.
Your musicianship is superb! That JT Lewis is a good drummer as well . But my assessment of you, like always, is that you are the ultimate bassist. And where you are the most unique in comparison to other bassists in you speed for one thing, but your vibrato technique will never be equaled unless you mentor a protege.
Fernando is a versatile world-class musician who keeps getting omitted from various "Top Bass Players" lists!!!! JT Lewis is an Incredible drummer!!!
Just incredible to now be able to talk man to man, through Facebook. Fernando is one of my heroes since he joined Lou Reed in 1981.
He worked for many years with Lou.Amazing Fernando Saunders.A greeting, Rene'.

Esse baixo é muito show..e o que dá o peso pro som..muito bom..Lou Reed escolheu cerro.. cara é muito bom..

Thank U! For sure Fernando Saunders's new album will be a nice mix of bass-oriented thangs, vocals, songwriting .... etc
A BLUES ROCK BASSIST CANNOT DO MORE THAN THAT ...
