ACE LIVINGSTON 

The provocative title of Asa “Ace” Livingston’s new full length recording My Metamorphosis is inspired by the multitude of transitions the veteran electric bassist has been going through these past few years both in his personal and professional lives. The colorful mix of buoyant funk, spirited jazz and melodic sensuality he creates on his instrument draws as much inspiration from renowned bassists as Marcus Miller, John Patitucci, Melvin Davis and the late Jaco Pastorius and Wayman Tisdale as it does from lesser known but no less grooving and potent gospel music bassists Joel Smith, Mark Moore and George Moore.
