"Inner Portrait" is a powerful musical journey that features Victor's unparalleled performance and compositional skills on ten original and exhilarating instrumental and hook-laden funky-fusion, rhythm and blues groove-jazz tracks, all of which display his impeccable timing, taste, technique, and tone, inimitably sophisticated soaring soloing skills, and captivating melodies.
Victor joined forces with a litany of legendary musical talent to create "Inner Portrait," including iconic Santana, Steely Dan, and Parliament/Funkadelic drummer Dennis Chambers, Grammy-Award winning drummer of The Mars Volta, Thomas Pridgen, and the mega-talented keyboardist Ruslan Sirota of the Stanley Clarke Band. "Inner Portrait" was produced by Victor Little, long-time Santana bassist and rhythm guitarist, Myron Dove, and multi-faceted producer/engineer/multi-instrumentalist, Randy Emata, who has performed, collaborated, written and/or recorded with Lou Reed, Bob Weir, Aaron Neville, and Chaka Khan.
"I'm more excited than words can say about the final product," says Victor, who has already been receiving rave reviews from his peers, industry insiders and the media. Continuing, Victor states, "I've been blessed and honored to be able to create and record music with so many wonderful and talented musicians who have joined me in the creation of a project that is a culmination of my dreams."
The pre-release of "Inner Portrait" to the worlds leading bass guitar enthusiast publications, websites, and community has resulted in incomparable accolades. Bassist Victor Wooten, of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, states, "I've been a fan of Victor's bass playing for a long time. Inner Portrait shows that his writing skills are top notch. With a name like 'Victor', how can he go wrong?"
Bass Player Magazine states, ""Little stays melodic and fresh, and shows off a groove concept that does justice to the disc's origination in Oakland, California - home of Tower of Power, Larry Graham, The Headhunters, and much more funky music."
Bass-Musician-Magazine.com states, "Inner Portrait" is an incredible disc� A solid product that grooves hard and is like sonic ear candy� Interesting and thoughtful compositions, absolutely wonderful soloing, a STUNNING cast of players... this is one of the Bay Area's finest playing with some of the world's finest."
"Inner Portrait" can be purchased at fine retail stores and chains everywhere, and online at iTunes.com and Amazon.com.
Victor and his band will be touring from Seattle to San Diego in the spring and summer of 2009 in support of "Inner Portrait." Record release parties in both San Francisco and in the East Bay will be announced in a future press release, and additional Victor Little news and information is available at http://www.victorlittlemusic.com and http://www.myspace.com/victorlittlemusic
