Basses tend to get better with age...musically speaking. Met him in passing at Silver Dollar City a few years back. A truly genuine and nice person. It was just a quick, "Hi. How are ya," but; in that short interaction, it was easy to see how good of a person he is.
I love gospel bass. even though the low notes are often a fry-mix, it's all about sound. personally I think it sometimes suits the music better, especially considering you need to project more
Hey Jeff from Goldsboro, N.C. ... From Eddie Price. You also may remember my parents that used to live 2 doors down from Terry and Karen Carter. Thurston and Betty Price. Terry and I have known one another since 1977 or 1978. I was around when The Anchormen was formed.
I was talking to Nic val the other day- he said lotta great guys out there... I asked him if there was a stand out, he said well... '' I knew Paul downing and that guy had a great low rumbling speaking voice, he conversed in d1'' most guys speaking voice don't go down there.
Ok I really want to know your insight on what register he uses because at about G1 it sounds as if he mixes with fry but maybe it’s just his masked technique
Marcello Bass I think it’s probably some sort of chest fry or strohbass technique. But he is really good at the mask technique, so maybe that’s just how it sounds when he does it. But my guess would be it’s probably mixed with fry or strohbass.
@@alebormio4842 Don't mind me, it's just that i've seen this question asked before in videos like this and they usually spark INTENSE comment threads of people arguing about voice types, vocal ranges and the classic "i'm X age and i can hit X note"...
@@alebormio4842 Look, since i get that you are actually asking the question i'm going to give you my OPINION (just for anyone else that sees this😂). I'm a member in the Facebook Group "Octavism, Basstronomy, Choral" which is a FB group for...you guessed it, oktavism. There are all the well known guys there, Thou Yang (Bass2Yang), David Kahn, David Larson, Glenn Miller (yes, the oktavist), Matt Fouch and many more. I'd suggest you join haha. But to answer your question, i don't really know. Some people say yes because: 1. His tone is pretty low naturally 2. He has projection in contra notes (1st octave) that is unmatched by most Basses in Gospel, only Tim Riley, Chris West and other basses in different repertoires such as Thurl Ravenscroft have the same type of power. 3. Some videos or recordings of him speaking or singing off-mic have proved that he actually has the power we hear from studio or live recordings no matter the equipment, meaning he doesn't suck off the microphone to be able to shake the building (Tim Storms, PDK, JD, Nic Val etc. i'm looking at you 😂) Now, some people though say they think he's NOT a Profondo, because: 1. He may have enough power to project contra notes easily but that power lies within the technique that basses like him, Tim Riley and Chris West use to get that projection (Mask Technique), where as Bassi Profondi don't use anything down there to be heard, just their modal voices. 2. The second reason doesn't really matter that much. It's because people immediately disregard Gospel Basses as Profondi just because they are in Southern Gospel or Acapella (microphone usage). Certain voices might belong in certain repertoires but that doesn't mean they might not be a certain voice type, just because they sing different music. So in my opinion, Jeff is a profondo, just not your typical Oktavist or Operatic Profondo like Christopher Purves, Kurt Moll or Joel Frederiksen, but in a different style of music.
I gotta say i'm a little confused. Although Gospel bass singers are good, i gotta say that they are overrated when compared to the modern acapella basses for example where you draw the line between fry and chest and much more. It's like registers have an entire different meaning in a different genre of singing and it shouldn't be like that. Again, I'm not saying that Gospel Basses are bad, i'm just saying that liking Gospel basses because they have a better sound to their voice doesn't make you a musical proffesional, because you are wrong and i feel like it's something i hear too often. Maybe it's offensive, idk.
Interesting point of view. I think I understand what you’re saying. I don’t think gospel basses are overrated, but I do think acappella basses are more versatile in terms of techniques, range, and stuff like that. I personally don’t like comparing the two because of how different they are. I enjoy them both. Everyone has their preferences 🤷♂️
@@colefountain1030 Exactly man, each genre of bass singing has a different way of using the bass voice . In a capella , basses are used to mimic a bass guitar, oktavism uses basses to mimic organs and gospel uses them as lower vocals/Harmony. It is absurd to compare them as they are fulfilling their purpose in different ways. Also it very possible for a single bass to adapt to all do all these styles well. So when you compare basses of different genres , you are not comparing the basses themselves, but the genres of music, which doesn't make any sense. we should learn to appreciate the various genres.
Kinda amazing how clear his C#1 is still

This guy sounds way better live than in recordings , the opposite of other basses.
Reuben Thomas yeah I agree, I prefer some of his live performances over his studio recorded ones
One of the cleanest bass singers that I’ve heard - He and Ken Turner.
also Михаил Златопольский
His bass is really a show of voice. Great video

Nice one. Glad you included the live D1 :))
Love his low notes! Nice video bro!👍👍

Sounds like Tim Riley sometimes .
Reuben Thomas I’ve heard Jeff say that Tim is his favorite bass singer. Sounds like he’s been a great mentor to him.
@@andrew5184su hijo dijo que tim fue su mentor y practicaba con el, ahora que Jeff está en gold city creo es lo que él deseaba

Marcello Bass here’s a cool video where he gets down near G1 during a mic and sound test - ua-cam.com/video/gq_clSd7ung/v-deo.html
Cole Fountain thanks

Why the low notes sounds like fry? Not his low notes, bc it happens with a lot of bass singers.
His extremely low notes like the D1 and C#1 have some amount of fry .
