A lesson in perfection - Freddie Washington

Here's Freddie Washington playing 'Forget Me Nots' with Patrice Rushen at some open air event. He was the original bass player on the recording.

He doesn't let up his concentration for the entire performance, and his playing is so clipped and precise - absolutely brilliant.

Patrice Rushen is no slouch on the keyboard either, as this clip demonstrates later on.

And I love how at around 4.30 she gets the audience to clap along ON the beat - I wonder why ? 😏 😄🙄

Just laying it down like a boss.

On the subject of that, I ran into this on Tiny Desk. Given the reaction (good) of some of the other musicians to things he does he is not a long standing member. However he is totally nailing the whole set, beginning to end.
