This is my conversation with Colin Bass (Camel, Steve Hillage). It took place on 7/3/2022 from his home in North Wales.
During his over five-decade career (and still counting), Colin Bass has worked in a wide range of musical fields with a diverse range of international artists: most extensively with British prog-rock veterans, Camel (1979 to present day), and ‘world-music’ pioneers, 3 Mustaphas 3 (1985-1992). He was also a member of British guitarist Steve Hillage’s Band (1975-1976) and has appeared as bassist on albums by top Malian singing star, Oumou Sangare (‘Ko Sira’ 1993), Zimbabwean Mbira Queen, Stella Chiweshe (‘Ambuya’ 1988), Nigerian percussionist Gasper Lawal (‘Ajomase’ 1980, ‘Abiosunni’ 1985), and Senegambian kora masters, Dembo Konte and Kausu Kouyateh (‘Jali Roll’ 1990), amongst others.
He has released three albums under his own name (‘An Outcast of the Islands’ 1998, ‘In The Meantime’ 2003, ‘At Wild End’ 2014) and a series of three albums recorded in Indonesia between 1992 and 1999, in the guise of his 3 Mustaphas 3 persona, Sabah Habas Mustapha. The title track of the first, "Denpasar Moon", became a hugely popular song in Indonesia in the mid-1990s, and has been covered by over 50 Indonesian, Malaysian, and Japanese artists.
His most recent release is a collaboration with keyboardist & composer, Daniel Biro (‘Still’ 2020)
Meanwhile, in the role of Record Producer, his creative input can be heard on albums by The Klezmatics (USA), Sambasunda (West Java, Indonesia), Maija Kauhanen (Finland), Etran Finatawa (Niger), 9Bach (Wales), Krar Collective (Ethiopia), Joonas Widenius (Finland), Stella Chiweshe (Zimbabwe), Alhousseini Anivolla (Niger), and Tarika (Madagascar).
