Take Five: Will The LowDown Take Five: Will Lee Bass veteran Will Lee is seen and heard by millions of Americans every weeknight on The Late Show With David Letterman, where he performs with the CBS Orchestra. As one of New York’s first-call studio bassists, Lee’s discography spans four decades and reads like a Who’s Who? of pop and contemporary jazz, from Barry Manilow to George Benson. We reveal the top five recordings that have influenced his career. Inf luences ‘The Beatles have always been my main spark,’ says Will, who performs their music on a regular basis with his Beatles tribute band, The Fab Faux. ‘Even though I grew up in a musical family – my mom was a singer, my dad a pianist and well-known educator – it wasn’t enough to Stevie Wonder: turn an undisciplined lazy kid The Secret Life Of Plants into a musician. But seeing The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show ‘I always felt this was a sleeper.

Rubber Soul – was the one where artistic control ‘Even in songs as simple as was really given to the creators of the songs, and ‘Honey Pie’ or ‘When I’m 64’, with they started to go to town in the studio.’ that old school charm, Paul plays extremely tasteful and supportive lines. He goes all the way from being melodic to almost unnoticeable, you know, just right for the song.’ Will’s formal musical education was at the University of Miami, where he studied French horn for a year and then switched Sting: to a bass major. After classes Nothing Like The Sun he would work on bass ‘Nothing says humanity, evolution, and just plain fundamentals, listening not class like the talents of Sting and the production only to The Beatles, but also on this CD. ere is serious musicianship from artists like Stevie Wonder, Jimi all on this project and production to die for.

Will didn’t want too many bells and whistles on the bass, he really only wanted four knobs. We compromised with one of them being stacked, so technically it’s five. We use an old Fender style tone control. I don’t like an active cut control because they’re too narrow, I think a vintage style passive tone control works much better than an active treble cut. Q: Is this the first artist model that you’ve done? Yes, absolutely. I’ve tended to avoid signature models, I think “The players people associate with Sadowsky if you do too many it dilutes the significance of it.

  • WSP 64: Revolution: the Songwriting of the Beatles Stanford Continuing Studies, Fall 2016 Sunday, December 4, 2016 Dr
    WSP 64: Revolution: The Songwriting of The Beatles Stanford Continuing Studies, Fall 2016 Sunday, December 4, 2016 Dr. Joel Phillip Friedman A Note from the Instructor: Through a selection of songs this weekend workshop will explore the evolution of Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison as composer/lyricists as they developed from mere local cover band to arguably some of the most influential songwriters of the 20th century. Our goal is to understand how special and sophisticated their song writing could be on many different levels as the power and originality of their astonishing body of creative work still speaks loudly and clearly today. In some cases we will delve into individual songs deeply. In other cases, we will discuss specifics of harmony, meter, or phrasing by briefly referencing a number of different songs. A byproduct of our investigation will be to find similarities and connections between songs, authors, and even periods. Keep in mind that time does not permit us to cover every song listed. As time permits we will also explore: the roles producer George Martin, the famed engineers of Abbey Road played; the revolutionary recording procedures and techniques they initiated; and The Beatles’ diverse creative influences (including R&B and Motown artists, classic rockers, and decidedly non-rock influences such as British Music Hall, Indian classical music, and the Classical avant-garde). While the course is not designed for literate musicians, some knowledge of the basics of music – e.g. meter and harmony – will come in very handy. But, have no fear! If you are inexperienced or unsure I am more than happy to explain.

  • MTO 11.4: Spicer, Review of the Beatles As Musicians
    Volume 11, Number 4, October 2005 Copyright © 2005 Society for Music Theory Mark Spicer Received October 2005 [1] As I thought about how best to begin this review, an article by David Fricke in the latest issue of Rolling Stone caught my attention.(1) Entitled “Beatles Maniacs,” the article tells the tale of the Fab Faux, a New York-based Beatles tribute group— founded in 1998 by Will Lee (longtime bassist for Paul Schaffer’s CBS Orchestra on the Late Show With David Letterman)—that has quickly risen to become “the most-accomplished band in the Beatles-cover business.” By painstakingly learning their respective parts note-by-note from the original studio recordings, the Fab Faux to date have mastered and performed live “160 of the 211 songs in the official canon.”(2) Lee likens his group’s approach to performing the Beatles to “the way classical musicians start a chamber orchestra to play Mozart . as perfectly as we can.” As the Faux’s drummer Rich Pagano puts it, “[t]his is the greatest music ever written, and we’re such freaks for it.” [2] It’s been over thirty-five years since the real Fab Four called it quits, and the group is now down to two surviving members, yet somehow the Beatles remain as popular as ever. Hardly a month goes by, it seems, without something new and Beatle-related appearing in the mass media to remind us of just how important this group has been, and continues to be, in shaping our postmodern world. For example, as I write this, the current issue of TV Guide (August 14–20, 2005) is a “special tribute” issue commemorating the fortieth anniversary of the Beatles’ sold-out performance at New York’s Shea Stadium on August 15, 1965—a concert which, as the magazine notes, marked the “dawning of a new era for rock music” where “[v]ast outdoor shows would become the superstar standard.”(3) The cover of my copy—one of four covers for this week’s issue, each featuring a different Beatle—boasts a photograph of Paul McCartney onstage at the Shea concert, his famous Höfner “violin” bass gripped in one hand as he waves to the crowd with the other.

    Fab Faux Meet the Beatles New York combo is the greatest Beatles cover band – without the wigs Not your average cover band Photo by: Josh Rothstein One day in early 1998, Jimmy Vivino, guitarist and arranger for the Max Weinberg 7, the house band on Late Night With Conan O'Brien, ran into his neighbor Will Lee, bassist for Paul Shaffer's CBS Orchestra on Late Show With David Letterman, in the elevator of their Manhattan apartment building. "We were going to our shows," Vivino says, "and Will goes, 'Hey, I'm starting a Beatles cover band.' The first thing I said was 'Why? There are plenty of Beatles tribute bands out there.'" "Then I realized he was serious," Vivino recalls. "He said, 'I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the way classical musicians start a chamber orchestra to play Mozart. I'm talking about playing the Beatles' songs and records live, as perfectly as we can.' I said, 'Without the wigs?'" Lee's reply was quick: "Sure." Seven years later, the Fab Faux -- Lee, Vivino, guitarist Frank Agnello, drummer Rich Pagano and multi-instrumentalist Jack Petruzzelli, all of whom sing lead and harmony vocals -- are the most accomplished band in the Beatles-cover business. Since debuting at New York's China Club in May 1998, the Fab Faux have mastered and played more than 160 of the 211 songs in the official canon -- according to Agnello, the Faux's resident Beatles statistician -- and most are complex hits and post-'65 LP tracks the Beatles never performed in concert.

  • Apple Label Discography
    Apple Label Discography 100-800 series (Capitol numbering series) Apple Records was formed by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr in 1968. The Apple label was intended as a vehicle for the Beatles, their individual recordings and the talent they discovered. A great deal of what appeared on Apple was pretty self indulgent and experimental but they did discover a few good singers and groups. James Taylor recorded his first album on the label. Doris Troy recorded a good soul album and there are 2 albums by John Lewis and the Modern Jazz Quartet. The Beatlesque group Badfinger also issued several albums on the label, the best of which was “Straight Up”. Apple Records fell apart in management chaos in 1974 and 1975 and a bitter split between the Beatles over the management of the company. Once the lawyers got involved everybody was suing everybody else over the collapse. The parody of the Beatles rise and the disintegration of Apple is captured hilariously in the satire “All You Need Is Cash: the story of the Rutles”. The Apple label on side 1 is black with a picture of a green apple on it, black printing. The label on side 2 is a picture of ½ an apple. From November 1968 until early 1970 at the bottom of the label was “MFD. BY CAPITOL RECORDS, INC. A SUBSIDIARY OF CAPITOL INDUSTRIES INC. USA”. From Early 1970 to late 1974, at the bottom of the label is “MFD. BY APPLE RECORDS” From late 1974 through 1975, there was a notation under the “MFD.
