some about HIM:
Well, he's a bass player. A MASTER bass player. In the most heartly
way. I think he's one of the most booked and renowned players of the
planet. Simply because, especially when he likes what he's playing
he gives the music the gift of THE FEELING. He is capable of giving
magic to the songs simply staying somewhere in the background but
yet being essential for the song. You just can't ignore him, you can
recognize him since the very first note.

some BIOGRAPHY:
Pino Palladino was born in Cardiff, Uk, in 1957 and took up classical guitar when 14 years old. He moved into bass at 17, after getting into Motown players like James Jamerson and Jaco Pastorius. In the early 80s he collaborated with Jools Holland, and his popularity as session man became clear playing on "I assassin" by Gary Numan. But maybe all pop music lovers know or should know him by his wonderful works with the soulful voiced Paul Young, with whom he performed along all his albums with highlights like "Wonderland", "Wherever I lay my hat", "Love of the common people" and the gem remake of "I'm gonna tear your playhouse down". He participated on a everyday growing number of records, all with a common fact: good music.
