ABOUT

Chadleigh's Bass Lines Reminds One Of Mac Mckenzie When He Played With The Genuines. Ctijf 2016 (Cape Town International Jazz Festival) Chadleigh Gowar's Bass Interlude Was Sublime As He Deftly Led Us On "A Little Walk Along The Beach With A Sea Lion". Our Songbook – 2017 (Live Show/Concert) Chadleigh Gowar Is Probably The Most Underrated Bass Player In South Africa. A Few Years Ago He Released “Mr Africa”, The Title Track Of A Three Song Ep . Chadleigh Proceeded Straight Into His Unique Style Of Bass Playing With The Afro Rhythms Of “Bobby”, A Song Dedicated To Long Time Friend Brandon “Bobby” George A Synth Player Who, Along With Christan, Dustin Julius, Jason Sampson, Jason Ward And Chadleigh Were The Original Line-Up Of “The Comrades”. The Audience Shrieked With Delight At The Opening Lines Of “Mr Africa”, The Title Track Of A Three Song Ep Released A Few Years Ago By Chadleigh. I Have Also Never Heard Chadleigh Play His Bass Like He Did Tonight Because This Time He Could Shine As A Soloist. Arpeggios, Octaves, Slaps And Pops, Riffs - All Played Flawlesslessly. Bass Heaven!
