Alain Caron - Slam The Clown Live 

Technique impeccable ! L'aller-retour du pouce , c'est génial et le double slap ... wow ! Alain , un des top sur notre planète ! Pour l'avoir vu en show , croyez-moi , c'est super clean ..

one of the most underrated bass places out there today... ALAIN CARON is awesome... NUFF SAID!

F basses are unlike anything, anywhere. vocal, powerful, sweet, raw, anything. once a person gets his or her mind around one, they cannot be limited.

Jean St-Jacques is a monster keyboard player. I saw him with caron, cusson and don alias somewhere in the mid 80's in Montreal...wow.

This guy is amazing man. i wonder how he can play such stuff so cleanly and with so little movement...

DR Alain Caron;composer and bass player. To be this good took a whole lot of hard work and dedication . He was great bassist back in the 80,s with UZEB, but now he has become a composer /arranger as well. Check his big band arrangement of this song with six horns, awesome. That instrument that looks like a xylophone , is a controller, called a mallet cat.

He just makes it look so easy.. Unbelievable.

Just buy that DVD, it's absolutely awesome... Real Great Great Music!!

What a monster bassist and composer!

Man, that bass solo following with sax was just too much!! Amazing.

His slap bass style is so tasteful it's really not dated sounding for the composition. It's more like really good muting of notes for staccato emphasis.

THE MOST UNDER RATED LEAST MENTION BASS PLAYER IN THE USA

Saw Alain & Uzeb in a small Toronto club back in '81.Maybe 30 people (including Oscar Peterson)that nite & they sold their records at the door. Mind Blowing then & still now. Very fluent players & i'm sure Al gives huge props to guys like Jaco & Stanley still to this day. Great Chops!!

I was fortunate growing up in an area that valued the bass as much as the guitar. My first guitar teacher was a bass player learning the guitar as he was teaching me. I studied with him for one summer and during that time I learned about 12 different scales. So in just 3 months time I was playing the major scale, pentatonic maj and min, harmonic minor, phyrigian and phyrigian dominant, melodic min, lydian dominant, diminished, dominant scale, dorian, natural minor

Excelente la técnica en ambas manos!!!! :D, por eso es Alain Caron, es uno de mis ídolos.

Alan the monster,bass!!!

A true unsung hero of the bass guitar, l love marcus millers slap work but he aint a patch on this guy, the playing the writting hes the whole the real deal.

Best bassist EVER!!

24 people are deaf, or dead. How can any one give a negative rating???

impresionante este tipo. Técnica, sonido, arreglos impecable. Salve!!!

Alain Caron, sì signori, ..un FENOMENO!

I didn't know Ray Romano could play bass. Sorry, couldn't resist. I just discovered this guy and he really amazing!

ok ok ok i have been a Uzeb fan for years and a Caron fan till the end of his Career all i can say is that ive Scene them many times in Montreal as Uzeb and ive Scene ALain Caron many times aswell they are Prodogies in their own right Awesome players and True God Given talent

It sounds like Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec

Te gekke sax, great

I think the guy meant that it was a bad-ass groove, a very very good one. If that is so, I do agree that this is one hell of a good song.

Muito bom!!! Parabéns!

would be cool to see Vic Wooten, Steve Bailey and Alain Caron play together ... or either combination!

what the fuck is a malletkat? that sound is ridiculous i love it!

Impecable performance!!!! BTW does anybody know the name of the concert?!

4:30 to 7:33 that was fucking insane

it's fucking amazing

when i listen to this solo i always realize that i m so poor in playing bass

@JohnLMcCoy we have come a long long way from that my friend!

6弦エレキベースの第一人者ですな

the drummer is called Simon Langlois... And he's pretty good...

ayoye!

No, his basses are F basses, a canadian luthier you can check out his website! pretty nice (and expensive...) basses!!!

woooooow... Ö_ö NICE!!!!! xD

Anyone know where i can find a tab or score for this?

T'as raison en tabarnaque!

WHAT?! Is he also playing with his pink?
