Very cool! I love hearing new (for me) approaches to music. Thanks so much for sharing.

Currently listening to a live version of Freddie Hubbard’s Red Clay. One of the best basslines in jazz (which you might remember from module 11) by the great Ron Carter.
George Benson plays guitar on this one.

Speaking of iconic bass lines in jazz… here is “Strasbourg St. Denis” by Roy Hargrove. Obviously, with Feraud on the 5-string. The other bass player is Romain Labaye, and Nicolas Viccaro on drums. I should know the guitar player, but his name escapes me right now…

Labaye’s jazz bass has seen some miles! (assuming it hasn’t been relic’d of course).

They have to look like this! I guess it’s the nitro finish of those vintage basses.
Here is Frans Vollink’s 68 Jazz:

Love Herbie’s piano, but there’s something so compelling about those steady, driving walking bass lines that I find utterly beguiling. That walking bassline intro is fantastic.

Fascinating show of interpretation, process and invention by three jazz masters.

It’s brilliant! I thought we might have had that one before already…
Anyway, this is why I want to be good at music

Agreed. And that Carl Bechstein piano sounds amazing. Pianoteq v8 has a great modelled C. Bechstein DG. So lovely.

So good. I remember when Tutu was first released. I bought the CD, then sat in my car in the parking lot and listened to the whole album straight through. Just an awesome release by Miles.
