***** THE SCORE MAGAZINE | INDIA: UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH MOHINI DEY ... (interview/ read)



This entry into this journal's music/ arts honour roll society, will definitely have to go to Mohini Dey, out of Mumbai, India. An opening video above with tips from Mohini on bass techniques, and a interview with Mohini linked below that. Mohini is just outstanding, period! ... she does it all, and is very versatile and exceptionally creative ... I really catch alot of jazz influence vibes from her music, she is an unconventional bassist though, in my view. The music Mohini sayz she loves is jazz, funk, Indian classical, blues, and fusion. I am a big fan of bass guitar work, I can listen to good bass lines throughout songs all day long, bass just has it's own unique way of setting the mood. For Mohini, it was her Dad, Sujoy Dey, who is a jazz fusion and sessions bass player, who inspired her much, he started her off, seeing she liked music, and it was a music household. Her Dad built her a small first guitar from wood, by hand, gave it to her to practice on, her Dad also done music for hundreds of Bollywood movies ... her Mom, Romia Dey, is a classical singer. A couple of my last full music postings in this journal also featured veteran bass greats, Jeff "JD" Pinkus, and Geddy Lee. There are many bass players I love throughout this journal's music/ arts section too, probably my all time favourite bass player, I would have to say was Gary Thain of "Uriah Heep" ... Gary is the one who got me so interested in examining bass in music as a kid, around 1970, and drove my love of bass work. Mohini started playing bass in 1999 at age 3 ... by age 10, she was already performing live, and in the studio ... she has played with and for just about everyone in India, session and live, and now starting to hook up with others in the west, and wants to move part- time to America, because of so many she wants to work with here too, and many here want her. She also has a few years compiled of her own music/ compositions, that she just has not had the time yet to produce and release, she is a DIY hands on musician, and likes her studio to be in her home ... and she has been very busy working with others. Today, she is one of the most "in demand" bass players for artists ... if she wanted, she would not even have to tour, she could make a very good living just doing studio/ session work ... but she likes being out in the field and doing live stuff.

I wanted to mix up the work here, I opened below with some Indian fusion, with an excellent selection of individual artists she is working with, also featuring India's well known violinist and composer, Abhijith P S Nair. The second video takes a different direction, and she is doing studio work with Gergo Borlai, Gergo is excellent as far as drummers, this song is called "Day by Dey". The next piece I chose was just some outstanding solo bass work at a NAMM booth earlier this year in Anaheim/ LA. To close out, yet another direction and style, covering bass for a song by neighbouring Nepal metal rock band, Underside, the song is called "Disconnect". Wishing Mohini an exciting career, and a long and fruitful journey .... excellent job, Mohini! ... Enjoy!
