Return To Bass - 2009

Jamie's first official release is a bass oriented solo instrumental album.  The material covers various musical genres and styles, yet retains Jamie's "don't bore us, lets get to the next bit" approach to composition.  The album was released independently on 9th Nov 2009.  To purchase a copy or to digitally download it, please go to www.cdbaby.com/cd/mallenderjamie or alternatively click on the picture above.

CDBaby describe the album as "A bass guitar oriented fusion, crossover, progressive, instrumental album featuring a mishmash of genres, time changes and mood swings with a loose Sci-Fi B-Movie feel - more musical journey than virtuoso showcase, nevertheless displaying impressive chops."

Jamie has this to say about the album," In making "Return To Bass" I have ignored every formula in the book, every critic with an opinion of any kind and every opportunity to make it more commercially accessible. I have skipped from one genre to another and spliced musical styles together, always avoiding the obvious route. This album was not written to please anyone but me. Each track expresses how I felt at the time of recording, and goes on a musical journey that I enjoyed taking. It was not recorded to make a lot of money, or to make me famous. This album is my one finger answer to a music industry that needs a good old shake by the throat, and to all people who are happy to be spoon-fed manufactured music."

All instruments on "Return To Bass" are played by Jamie himself.  He also wrote and produced all tracks.

The album is available on Amazon and for download on i-Tunes.
