Not many people can boast of having two very different, very successful careers--Wayman Tisdale is, however, one such individual. Tisdale was an NBA star who successfully transitioned into a career playing funk and R&B-charged smooth jazz, and his specialty is drawing forth elegant, guitar-like tones from his electric bass. With veteran aces Lenny White, Brian McKnight, and Kenny Garrett (formerly with Miles Davis) in his corner, Tisdale weaves seamless musical tales that balance tuneful improvisational flair with engaging, confident grooves. THE VERY BEST acts as a nice introduction to Tisdale`s amiable style, compiling the finest examples of his many attributes.
