Under the name UCCELLO PROJECT, Steve is joined 'visually' by J.F. Uccello and by Kathy Uccello who plays 'twin mandolin' with Steve on 2 songs. Also featured on Symmetria: editing/mixing/mastering by Universal Audio veteran, Tim Prince. Symmetria is all instrumental and contains 14 songs (53 minutes) featuring a myriad of bass instruments.
Steve Uccello is an Upright and Electric Bassist, multi-instrumentalist and composer. He's a versatile musician who authentically approaches each style he plays. Steve has self-produced two solo albums, the recently released SYMMETRIA, an instrumental bass-centric journey comprised of 14 songs, and the 2006 release, Polar Vision, a vocal-psychedelic-folk-rock album. Studying under the world-renowned bassists Stan Poplin and Ray Drummond, Steve was the first Jazz Studies graduate from CSU Monterey Bay in 2005. Steve plays regularly with The Monterey Bay Jazz Orchestra, with whom he was a featured soloist at this year’s 52nd Monterey Jazz Festival. Steve Uccello has shared the stage with artists such as Steve Lawson and Joe Craven. Uccello was a featured guest at the 2009 Mandolin Symposium, working closely and playing with David Grisman and Mike Marshall. He has toured and/or recorded with the unique singer/multi-instrumentalist Dayan Kai, Kerrville & Telluride winner Keith Greeninger, singer/environmental activist David Grimes, Jazz composer Kirk Danielson, Spanish Nuevo Cancion artist Juan L. Sanchez, and Italy based Gospel artist Nehemiah Brown. In October, Steve will be playing solo at the Y2K Loopfest in Santa Cruz, California.
The first video below is the live looping version of the 8th song off SYMMETRIA, Chiral. At the online bass academy, Learn The Low End, I use this song/video as a vehicle for an instructional video that teaches the texturing/arranging techniques I use in my live looping arrangements. You can purchase this course, along with other courses that I have created (such as '5 Tips To Gain Intimacy With The Double Bass') at Learn The Low End. You get to keep the lesson for life! It includes this complete video, and videos of each song section broken down into 2 chapters with 8 parts total, complete with hand written transcriptions, and arranging advice that could be used on any song, not just this one. Please check out this amazing new online bass recourse, which puts students in contact with top-notch educators for a fraction of the cost of one private lesson, it's very interactive and convenient.
