Description
Journey bassist Ross Valory debuts "All of the Above," a 10-track solo album and video series showcasing 50 years of versatile instrumental mastery.
The long-awaited debut solo album by Rock & Roll Hall of Fame bass player Ross Valory is a culmination of over fifty years of creativity. While best known for his massive career with Journey, Valory proves he is much more than just a bass player on this project. For this solo venture, Valory developed a repertory company of stellar musicians, including: Prairie Prince (Journey, The Tubes) Karl Perazzo (Santana) Marc Russo (Doobie Brothers, Yellowjackets) Eric Levy (Night Ranger) Jacob Stowe (Engineer) The album, titled 'All of the Above,' explores a far broader instrumental territory than Valory's work with Journey, leaning into Jazz/Fusion, he showcases his versatility by playing keyboards and guitar in addition to his signature bass across a diverse musical palette. A Multi-Sensory Experience, the 10-track album features a wide range of styles, from the Latin-fired intensity of 'Wild Kingdom' and the romantic 'No One Wins a War' to a partying homage to War on 'Low Rider' and a brilliant reprise of Santana's 'Incident at Neshabur.' Adding a visual dimension to the music, every title on the album has by a video directed and co-created by Michael Cotten and Ross. 'All of the Above' is described by Valory as a true labor of love that honors his extensive experience while pointing toward his musical future. As Ross himself suggests for the best listening experience: 'Turn off your phone, wind up the cat, throw out the clock, close your eyes, and listen to the entire album.'
