Alain Caron Live at Java Jazz Festival 2015 

The entire band is simply full of magicians on their instruments

Man that drummer is awesome with an incredible sounding drum kit.

I had a similar experience in Montreal. I was at a bar with friends when my ear caught this amazing music coming from a basement bar nearby. I could not resist checking it out and excused myself only to discover UZEB alumni in full swing. I was floored. $ 4. Admission . One of those rare moments. A number of years later I saw Caron in PEI and met him on break. Gracious and friendly. A world class virtuoso and legend.

That fretless sounding is priceless.

Best bass player ever! Love Alain Caron since UZEB!

The drums... long time I didnt hear a kick sounding so nice... an I am a bass player, I came here to listen to Alain

Once upon a time (at the beginning of July 1981), I went to a jazz festival in Bracknell, Berkshire, England. At 3pm on the Sunday, I witnessed one of the most amazing sets I have ever heard. You may know it, if you have the album. And then we went off to the bar to watch John McEnroe beat Bjorn Borg in the men's final at Wimbledon on the telly. Was a fairly good afternoon.

je suis née en 2002 et j'ai été bercé sur du Alain Caron toute mon enfance grâce à mon père qui était un fin connaisseur et qui m'as contaminé par sa passion virale , aujourd'hui cela me fait toujours quelque chose dès que j'entends Alain faire chanter sa basse et je regrette qu'il n'ait pu entendre ce magnifique concert de ses propres oreilles , j'ai vécu ce concert pour 2 , merci beaucoup Alain ainsi que tes merveilleux musiciens.

This performance is top notch! I can not stop groovin', and being consistently impressed with the level of communication!

my brother victor bailey used to tell me to listen to this guy.

Damn! This sounds sooo good!! Real music,played by real musicians!! I always been a fan of Damien Schmitt,real tight drummer and Alain Caron is just great and creative bass player Good tight band!!

Wow, I didn't know this pierre côté. Great guitarist !

ALAIN CARON THE SUPER MASTER BASS PLAYER !!!!!!!!!!! merci beaucoup pour l’énorme inspiration que votre grand talent a apporter à tous les bassistes de la terre !!!!!!!

This band is one of the greatest group of musicians ever assembled and Alain is an absolute force of nature on the bass!!!

Probablement le plus haut niveau mondial pour un groupe de fusion. L'union fait ici la force absolue! Bravo!

This drummer Damien Schmitt is absolutely great, real tight without over playing. Great inspiration for drummers like myself. Those Mapex drums sound great, the toms are tuned perfect for their sound. The whole band is just tight, A+

the drummer is simply fantastic!

First time listening to Alain Caron and his band. Incredible music, incredible musicianship!

Alain is absolutely incredible in all aspects of bass playing !!! Genius ! Fantastic band & inspiring music !!!

Cool stuff, great band and one of my bass heroes 🎸🙏

Alain Caron is best fretless bass Player after Jaco, The maestro!

One of the things that a lot of people fail to notice is Alain’s flawless intonation and control. He is always in tune. Always. And his control of his tone is masterful. Solid and gritty when he’s comping, and beautifully lyrical when he’s making the tasteful fill or soloing. There’s a lot of players with killer chops that are nowhere as musical as he is. A treasure...

Mono?!? Mais on s'en fout, les musiciens et la musique sont EXTRA! ÇA NE LEUR ENLÈVE RIEN! Après tout, personne d'entre nous avons entendu Bach! LOL! J'suis heureuse de les entendre et les voir sur You Tube! Mieux encore, j'ai vu et entendu Alain Caron et UZEB à Saint-Jérôme, il y a belle lurette! (J'étais la voisine de Michel Cyr, il connaissait çà, un clavier!). J'étais toujours là, émerveillée! J'ai eu de la chance! WOW! J'suis fière de ces gars québécois, talentueux, puis qui nous représentent merveilleusement! Malheureusement, pas toujours (et pas toujours à mon goût) représentés à leursjuste valeur dans leur propre pays! Dans mon pays, on a aussi Michel Donato! WOW! BRAVO, Alain Caron. T'es un ARTISTE que j'ai AIMÉ et SUIVI depuis St-Jérôme! J'lâche pas! J'aime ta musique! Mono ou autres!

these guys are very underrated. barely ever heard of Alain Caron . Thes cats can groove

First time I am hearing Alain play, and buddy, you are a fine musician ! I am a drummer myself, and Damien Schmitt is crushing it. Can a player be so deep in the pocket that it feels like free form playing with quartz clock accuracy? I think this set illustrates the answer. This crew is tighter than a ducks butt yet is so unrestrained it's uncanny. Nice work boys!

damn, that pocket! one the most solid bands I've heard.

Pierre Côté (on guitar) is up the par! And both the drummer and keyboardist. BRAVO!

I'm so proud that i'm able to say that i'm related to alain :)

ALAIN CARON QUARTET Alain Caron (basse), Pierre Côté (guitare), John Roney (piano) et Damien Schmitt (batterie):

Thanks, Alain is great!

I was first exposed to Alain in 1985, the UZEB L'Integral CD sets. It is Dec. 2021 and he still continues to be one of the most influential musicians in my life. His music and talent have brought consistent joy to my life all these years. There is no monetary value you can ascribe to that, Merci Alain!

Merci pour ce super partage !! Génial !!! quelle cohésion basse/batterie !! quelle écoute !!

Amazing performance! Thanks for the upload!

Salut Alain, comme toujours, tu sais nous surprendre! Quel concert! Une fois de plus, l'interprétation de D-Code est tout simplement magnifique! A bientôt, j'espère. Amitiés

i was just 16 when i first heard of alain. a frind of mine hooked me up to him with w cassete of all things called noisy nights with his band called UZEB ! wow. the guitar player was a guy named michel lusson . ill be 50 in a cpl months and have been playing 35 years now. crazy how life is . some players never leave you. one of the most distinctive voices in fusion and jazz and jazz on the bass. underrated .

Such a great work of art, those four musicians are incredible talents ! I have always felt a limitless passion for Caron's style, and he remains true to his reputation and musicality. One thing I find strange tough : why was this video uploaded in mono sound ? We loose all the higly dedicated work from the FOH console team ! Very intriguing. Plus we are deprived of a big chunk of pleasure... no space, no image, no resonance. It just feels weird !

BEAUTIFUL...THANKS!!!

One of the best jazz quartets ever! These guys play together so well they must all have been born on the same day.

Alain Caron Caron is one cool dude.

Damien Schmitt has such great dynamics, is so tight, and is so damn tasteful!

So great to hear.. better than ever !!

edition 2015 ! on s 'en lasse pas ! bravo ! great talents ! merci !

The mix is amazing!!!

Awesome music. Great drumming and bass.

Allain caron is one of the best bassists inspiring..btw thanks for java jazz already featuring the best jazz musicians

Alain Caron .........from Uzeb........another Jazz Bassist Heavy Weight a incredible Player this Specific Band Has Astounding Chemistry Together . Melded to a T Awesome Music ............Seriously WOW !

He is still the best bass player in North America !

This is awesome Fusion music. All these guys are top notch musicians for sure.

Fantastic, wish i could see them live

I love this concert. First time listening to them. I know nothing about music, but it seems to me that the drummer really carried the band in this concert.

Un niveau d'excellence en matière de fusion ! The show must go on

Bravo ! Comme une renaissance. Une performance avec rigueur et souplesse

Está bestial Alain Caron y la banda ni hablar, son unos gigantes de la música!

Never heard of this guy, nice!😎

une tuerie ce concert !!! je l'écoute en boucle depuis des mois

Love this show.

la mejor sutileza de la música folclórica del rock, blus del reggae, del jazz en un solo concierto

Alain Carron l homme par qui j ai découvert la basse...une belle personne.... alors Alain un grand merci de la part du gamin avec qui tu as eu la gentillesse d échanger au Ramier de Toulouse en 1985 ...ou avec UZEB vous nous avez régalés.... Bless 🙏

was there, after missing his show 20 yrs ago

Awesome band and amazing music thanks! :) A special thanks to the sound engineer mixing and eq-ing this live performance to sound absolutely amazing! :)

J'aime votre nouvel album Alain Caron, merci pour la musique bien joué

Good music ! Great musicians ! I love it ! BRAVISSIMO DAMIEN !

Super!! Alain caron et toute l'équipe world sonder full 🎶🎼🎶🎼🎶🎼😀 de gwada

Thanks for posting this amazing, inspiring concert. I've been seeing Caron play live for 15+ years and he usually comes to LA in January for the NAMM show in Anaheim but I haven't seen him booked at any local jazz clubs the past few years. Possibly he lost his endorsement with the company that makes the F Bass. An amazing band with all virtuoso musicians & as a 6-string bassist myself I can't help but idolize Caron.

The rhythm section is awesome, funky as hell!

Génialissime !

I love it. Alain is Great

Great jazz fusion band, each a virtuoso in their own right. Quentessential Fusion. Love the fretless bass

excellent performance....great musicians...

Beautiful!

Blew my mind away!

absolutely amazing concert! the second composition is somehow inspired by early tribal tech.

I think Alain has one of the best fretless bass sounds there is.

very very very good

Pierre Côté is one of the greatest guitar players out there.

He's real good and so is that band!

Love it!

awesome alain caron

Thanks for sharing!! One of the best bass players ever....

Fantastic!

Incredible, they aren't using any click as I can see there is no in ear monitors, but hell yeah , how are these guys so tight. I see Mr Caron setting up the tempo at the start of every song, these guys have a perfect sense of timing, looks like sheer dedication and practice. God bless them !

One of the very few fretless players who can play in tune. He's no Jaco, but he's badass and a cool dude too.

AMAZING!!!

Fantastic, yeah!

Ben Stiller is really a multi talent!

this video is great for programming

Amazing!

Excellent performance

excelente trabajo alain caron

musicalidade de primeira, um jazz gostoso de se ouvir e apreciar um bom instrumental, abraços

Damien Schmitt -Drums muito top! Não conhecia, que legal! Grande batera! Vou assistir 1000x esse show! Alain Caron me surpreendeu com esse batera!
