The singer and songwriter known as Gary Gould has released his latest official single, “Maestro,” featuring Sahib Goldsmith. The track is a pop-styled adult contemporary song with R 'n' B roots and strong, smooth bass lines. It has been proudly published on the Double G Records LLC independent record label. Showcasing precise, jazz-tinged vocals and undeniably sparkling songwriting, “Maestro” by Gary Gould feat. Sahib Goldsmith is easy listening of the highest caliber.

 

Gary Gould is a veteran bass player with experience in several disparate genres. He cites as main artistic influences such virtuosos of bass guitar as Victor Wooten, Chuck Rainey, Richard Davis, and Milt Hinton. His own style of playing on “Maestro” is laid back and spacious, unpretentious and tastefully sonorous, with more attention paid to which notes are struck rather than how many of them at a time. Gould's mellow manner pares down his phrasing so that the bass actually takes the forefront of the instrumentation without sounding overbearing.
