Benny Rietveld Bass: Latin Fusion is Q Up Arts’ amazing collaborative collection with Santana musical director and bassist Benny Rietveld. The bass lines are offered up as 16bit 44k WAVs (Waveform Audio Files), for creatively sparking song-starters, jamming, or just getting going with new bass ideas.
As musical director and bassist for rock and Latin American jazz fusion-pioneering musician Carlos Santana for 25 years, Benny Rietveld is clearly no slouch when it comes to navigating the fretboard’s lower regions. Résumé registers playing and recording with many more musical greats, including Miles Davis, Sheila E, John Lee Hooker, Dave Matthews, Rob Thomas, and Michel Legrand, to name but a notable few. He also features in concert video performances with Santana and Miles Davis and on live network TV shows such as Letterman, Dancing With The Stars, Jay Leno, Jools Holland, and George Lopez.

World Class Engineer Bill Malina recorded Benny.
Still better, Benny Rietveld’s bass-playing prowess was duly captured for Benny Rietveld Bass by GRAMMY Awards®- and Emmy-nominated veteran recording and mix engineer Bill Malina at his California studio in Sherman Oaks. His exceptional engineering and production credits are almost endless, transcending genres to encompass the likes of Van Halen, Ringo Starr, Santana, Lady Gaga, Pitbull, Flo Rida, Quincy Jones, Katy Perry, Charlie Wilson, and many more Platinum-selling recording artists. As such, both Benny Rietveld and Q Up Arts are inevitably in good hands here.
A former composition major at the University of Hawaii, Benny is the recipient of 8 Grammy Awards and 3 Latin Grammy for his performances on the Santana albums Supernatural and Shaman, playing on the hit songs Smooth, Game of Love and more platinum hits.
The multi-talented Benny has also scored films, including Brooklyn Rules (starring Alec Baldwin), written multimedia music for video gaming publications, released a solo CD entitled Mystery of Faith, appeared in the 80s cult film Krush Groove and on the hit TV series Breaking Bad, and is a part-time writer on staff of the Herald De Paris.
