bubinga5 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) Awesome funk from George. And the upright great Christian McBride. His funky fretless playing is just superb especially the solo. No lines on that Atelier Z... Edited October 20, 2018 by bubinga5 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Yeah, this video is great. Very relaxed playing That triplet phrase from Christian during his solo at 5:13, Marcus used to use it occasionally in his solos. It must be some ‘In’ gag....

aguacollas Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Christian McBride, the reason I recently bought a maple fretboard fretless I didn’t really need. 😋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Saw Stanley and George Duke years ago in the 80s at the Manchester Apollo. Great show... Phillip Bailey from EWF guested and sang 'Easy Lover'... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) For me it knocks the f**k out of "how do you play a fretless" argument. Play em how you wanna play em. Edited October 20, 2018 by bubinga5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Stuff, once again proving that there is (or can be ...) humour in jazz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And was James Earl “playing bass” for Stanley Clarke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medpb Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Just beautiful..... George Duke always smiled when he played, he just emitted goodness. It must have been a total pleasure to do music with him. What an amazing human being. A complete master musician totally comfortable in his craft. Stunning !

chris_b Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Nice. I liked it. Beautiful bass sound as always from Mr McBride. Good to see that guys at this level can also have timing "issues" when playing stabs over a drum solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drax Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Adjusts amp mid Havona solo, then totally nails it. There’s a man comfortable performing live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
