Will Lee: “A groove is a groove is a groove. If it feels good now, it’s always going to feel good!”

If you’re looking for some fresh music, made by a virtuoso band, but never self-indulgent in nature, check out Look Up!, by Band of Other Brothers, the quintet of James Taylor and Toto keyboard player Jeff Babko, Steely Dan and Sting drummer Keith Carlock, Dave Matthews and Bela Fleck sax player Jeff Coffin, Keyon Harrold guitarist Nir Felder, and bassist Will Lee, for whom a couple of credits won’t suffice as there are literally thousands of them. 

Lee is best known for a third of a century on primetime TV with The Late Show With David Letterman, where he held down the low end from its first line-up in 1982 through to Letterman’s retirement in 2015.
