  Jeff Berlin in Bass Inside Magazine
Jeff's newest release, In Harmony's Way, was half a year old, and so it seemed we were at a loss on what to talk about.
However, Jeff was beginning the European leg of his tour for the album and offered to write a 'Notes From the Road' that he could submit once he was back.
Jeff used all the profits made from this release of his most recent CD to cover medical bills, also another benefit of not having to support a record label.)

Jeff Berlin: The principles are all based on methods of learning that have been proven to be effective for years.

 Jeff Berlin: In Harmony's Way   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
New Yorker Jeff Berlin is in no such shade however, having been voted the No.1 jazz bass player for two years running by Guitar Player magazine and played or recorded previously with the likes of George Benson, The Brecker brothers, Bill Bruford, Pat Metheny and John McLaughlin to name just a handful.
Berlin casts his musical net far and wide: he was once asked to join rock band Van Halen (which he declined), he loves classical music and also holds the unique distinction of being the only electric bass player to be invited to accompany legendary jazz pianist, Bill Evans.
Berlin’s own playing shows boundless resources of technical virtuosity leaving one in no doubt that this guy really is the best in the business on his instrument.

Berlin: I've been playing jazz since the middle seventies, but as a career, I had this reputation as sort of a technically proficient bass player, especially in the seventies when there was only Jaco Pastorious, Stanley Clarke and myself.

 Review - Jeff Berlin: In Harmony's Way   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Their presence is a testimony to the respect which Berlin commands both as a player and as a music educator.
Berlin takes advantage of his opportunity to eschew his instrument's traditional time-keeping role whenever possible, playing lines that would normally be assigned to a horn, a guitar or some more conventional lead instrument.
Berlin is also a creative composer, and penned eight of the nine tracks on the album ("Liebman On A Jet Plane" was contributed by pianist Drexler).

Yes, as with Jeff’s previous releases, it contains music that will be astounding to those looking to hear highly technical bass playing at its finest, but there is more.
With the acoustic bass holding down some of the basic rhythms, he is free to play entire melodies throughout compositions and play with chorus and distortion during a couple of the electric bass solos.
Jeff Berlin wrote eight of the nine tunes with a piano/bass duet version of a Johannes Brahms piece (Intermezzo in A Major Opus 118 No. 2) finishing out the set.

In an era of air-brushed media discourse, the virtuoso musician is unafraid to pointedly tell it like it is: from a commercial perspective, the music industry and music education are in dire straits.
To combat the decaying integrity, artists such as Berlin are choosing to record, manufacture and market their music on a completely independent basis.
The sum of Berlin's vast experiences and philosophies are represented in the focus and uncompromising approach of his new CD.

 Jeff Berlin MP3 Downloads - Jeff Berlin Music Downloads - Jeff Berlin Music Videos
Jeff Berlin is a superb electric bassist, and the music on this CD, although it has its rock and funk moments, is quite jazz-oriented.
On some selections, Berlin is joined by four or five horns playing big band-style riffs.
While the bassist is in the spotlight much of the time (including a duet with keyboardist Clare Fischer on "Imagine" and an unaccompanied "Clinton Country," which is a medley of familiar patriotic songs), he was generous in allocating solo space; there are occasional spots for Rob Lockart (on tenor and alto) and trumpeter Howie Shear.

"Jeff Berlin is a legend of the electric bass.
Jeff: For me, to play the bass without exploiting different musical possibilities out of the instrument that are, let's say, unusual, makes little sense to me. I genuinely love being a rhythm section bass player when I am hired to be this.
Jeff: Practicing with a metronome defeats the whole purpose of practicing because practicing is a fact finding event, not a performance event.

I had heard Jaco Pastorius before (who I still think was the best bass player ever because he revolutionized the instrument), but I was really impressed with Jeff Berlin's tight, technical playing and melodic solos.
Highlights on this CD will be Jeffs' bass solo on 20,000 Prayers and Frank Gambales guitar on Freight Train Shuffle.

Like Stuart Hamm, Jeff Berlin finds himself to be neither a fusion player or a rock player, but rather somewhere uncomfortably in between.
Frank Gambale, on the other hand, does get a fair amount of space to showcase his sweep picking technique in one of his first recorded appearances.
The highlight of this inconsistent recording is "Manos De Piedra" on which Berlin plays a blistering solo that surely padded his already established legend in the bass playing community.

 Jeff Berlin | In Harmony's Way   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Few would debate electric bassist/clinician, Jeff Berlin’s significance among the post-Jaco soloists in jazz and fusion.
Berlin gets on track in a heated flurry on the opener titled, “This Is Your Brain On Jazz” as the bassist infuses amazingly fast and tightly integrated Bop-ish themes atop acoustic bassist Richard Drexler’s rapidly executed walking lines and drummer Danny Gottlieb’s swinging pulse.
Essentially, Berlin and associates impart a festive disposition during these largely high-octane works, however the bossa-nova tinged, “Pale Glider” offers little more than a soothing intermission to the often vigorous proceedings as the musicians reenergize their batteries on the “Tower of Power”-like funk/groove piece, “Reggae Ricardo”.
