- Following his first single "Mars", Purple Bass takes us on a second fusion jazz-infused space trip.
Triggered by ongoing conflicts in the 1960s, the Apollo Project showed the exploits that can be achieved when humans put their mind to it. From enormous political tension and a strong need for both the Eastern and Western blocks to showcase superiority, incredible advancements in science and space exploration were attained.
Purple Bass's "Apollo Project" was composed with a similar mindset. Through this high energy fusion jazz single, the composer wanted to express the most powerful technological feud of the 20th century.
To convey the artist's message better and elevate the musicality, this single was recorded with the collaboration of several renowned session musicians. For the drums, Purple bass collaborated with Randy Cooke, a renowned drummer who's previously worked with Deep Purple and Ringo Starr Band. On the guitar, Unam, a smooth jazz guitarist brought his unique colors, which can also be found through his previous works with George Benson, George Duke, Al Jarreau.
The overall ensemble is based on Randy Cooke's rock-inspired, classic drum sound, but the addition of funk bass lines from Purple Bass lays the foundation for this fusion jazz title - with some inspiration from Will Lee's work as well.
Unam's performance on the guitar introduces a vintage smooth jazz coloration to the track, with inspirations from old-school funk titles.
On the political scene, we're still not seeing signs of a peaceful cohabitation between the powers in place...
There might still be a lot of remaining work to achieve international peace, but we're able to collaborate and exchange on the art scene. Bringing our diverse backgrounds and experiences, we create new music that touches the hearts of people, wherever they're from.
Last but not least, the composer is extremely grateful and would like to pay a tribute to all the musicians, engineers and other stakeholders involved in making this track.
May our music be a vessel for a more peaceful, collaborative world.

Hi everyone!
The single I've been working on for the past year has finally been released!
I collaborated with renowned musicians Randy Cooke and UNam for this single. With the pandemic situation still not stable, we weren't able to work face-to-face... but our mindset towards music truly united us!
This project, combining artists from different cultures and with different music paths, will be a meaningful memory that I won't ever forget.
