This is pure groove from Mcbride.....this is bass playing at its best IMHO.. no frills just groove..some might say,(like me) the way it should be in an outfit like this..

Unique slap solo later on (4.00m) but I particularly like the manicness of the whole piece with an underlying groove the whole way through. I'll see if I can find a few more, as this isn't that high up my list of favourite grooves. I particularly like Herbie Hancock piece 'Actual Proof'. I have a different version by Steve Jenkins but it's just so much more sedate than the HH one.

I love noodling, but there is nothing like the groove..[/quote] I prefer the drumming on the stan clarke video - Steve Gadd is playing with some formidible dynamics and finesse. Eubassix had the ex-Ndegeocello Celinder, I don't know if he's sold it yet. This is one of my faves of Sharay Reed which I've posted before. There's no mistaking that he's playing a bass line rather than soloing, its distinctive, inventive and completely in the pocket, with a great balance between notes and space. I think this is one of the greatest basslines I've ever heard in my life. I've played this clip hundreds of times and the hair still goes up on the back of my neck each time. I've just found another with Sharay Reeds playing on it at a drum workshop being held by Michael Weatherspoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balcro Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 The best for me is Christian McBride. It's clean and understated. Readily accessible to people like me who aren't into what I call deep jazz. Stanley Clarke seemed initially to be playing games with the drummer. Maybe it's an ego thing. Oh well. One question for you jazzers out there. Why do bassists (in particular) seem so reticent to come out and play when it's time for their solos. I know there's got to be a leader somewhere, and it's not the light & shade of the piece, but when Joshua Redman stopped blasting away, in stepped Christian McBride and carried on playing at the same volume as when he was in the background. If I had that ability I'd want to stand up and be heard too. Is it just a case of the manager and the managed or just a jazz tradition? I have 3 Ray Brown albums downstairs and even as a leader he seems to do the same thing. I have to keep reaching for the volume control. Yea, nice bass grooves in general, but jazz bass is so frustrating. Let your groove be heard. Balcro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFW Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) Re. the 2nd Sharay Reed clip. I too can't get enough of it. It reminds me why I fell in love with bass in the first place and is exactly the kind of playing I aspire to.

mcgraham Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 [quote]good stuff.. is that Mike Stearn on guitar??[/quote] It is indeed. I'm not the biggest fan of Mike Stern's sound, or even his playing to be honest, at least the stuff I've seen. His tone reminds me of the guitar equivalent of Jeff Berlin, awash with chorus and reverb. And there's a huge amount of blues in his playing, except I don't feel his tone complements it. Anyway, that's just my opinion. Why is it when someone asks you what your favourite grooves are you can never remember them?! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfoxnik Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 The Meshell Ndegeocello clip and the 2nd Sharay Reed clip are absolutely fantastic! Funky as hell with some real bite to their playing.. Some of the other stuff I find too polite sounding personally, though the musicianship is without doubt excellent..

risingson Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) Meshell's Celinder was amazing, I'd love to ut an order down for one if I could. Tal Wilkenfeld is a superb player. [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=wK03pYCLJho"]Tal Wilkenfeld[/url] Pino Palladino with D'Angelo. [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=m4XI6LXCsH8"]Pino Palladino[/url] And last but not least, (I know he got posted about above, but he deserves another mention), Paul Turner from Jamiroquai, my favourite bass player right now. I met him the other day, he's an incredibly friendly guy and very informative. Stuart Zender is still my bass hero, but it doesn't make Paul anything less than an incredible player.

jmanfunk Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Reggie doing Paul Jackson proud imo. A little self indulgent at times but still [i]very[/i] much in the pocket- But nothing compared to the man himself.
