Uncle Knucklez from Azrael Block by Greg Rapaport

Poor Uncle Knucklez is an old school hit man with a lot of car problems. Once he gets his groove on though he gets the job done. This tune is a hardcore metal funk tune that has a few progressive twists and turns. It starts off with a filthy slap-bass riff then the tune kicks into gear. This song has elements ranging from odd time accents with diminished arpeggios to semi traditional walking bass lines with jazz fills.

Greg is an extended range guitarist and bassist. His musical focus is a combination of instrumental progressive-metal and jazz-fusion. He currently teaches at U Music School in Croton On Hudson NY.
