Hamm ultimately played on Vai’s debut solo album “Flex-Able” (1984) inaugurating a personal and creative relationship that would see Hamm appear on Vai’s follow-up album releases “Passion and Warfare (1990) and “Fire Garden” (1996). Hamm’s ultimate rise to fame began when he befriended guitarist Steve Vai during their time attending the esteemed Berklee College of Music in Boston. It’s easier to relate to the music in a song than the words.” Words can be misinterpreted but when it’s just music you can make it whatever you want it to be. I definitely just let it go and didn’t edit until it was perfect.” I let a lot more mistakes go, really didn’t try to move anything around. I tried to play loose and I tried to interpret.
For this record, I just played and didn’t worry about this stuff. That’s what it sounds like when a guy plays guitar. There’s a great record by Pat Matheny called “One Flight Night.” You can hear fret buzz and his hands sliding up and down the neck. “With the modern technology you can sit there and go through a song until it’s perfect, but than it doesn’t sound like a human being playing music,” adds Hamm. For me, once I have an idea of what the song is going to be about it goes pretty easy from there.”
All of a sudden the idea hit me, to write a solo bass record about my experiences of travelling and how I related to this journal that I found, and bam! That’s when I had the inspiration. I found this diary in this hotel room of this guy who was going through the same thing that I was. “I was looking to get myself together and clear my head.
“For the first time in my life I took a three week vacation at a little beach town in Italy,” says Hamm from his home in Pacoima, California. Hamm’s latest solo album release “The Diary of Patrick Xavier,” showcases the talents of this pivotal artist. One of the world’s preeminent bass players that helped usher in the slapping and two-handed tapping technique, Stu Hamm continues to flourish as a solo artist, sideman, songwriter and producer.
