I saw Stanley Clark in a concert at the Ronnie Scott's in London. He is a one man band! I had listened to both Marcus Miller and Victor Wooteen both excellent award winning musicians. Now, when these three are together playing, it is simply fantastic! Even a dog will dance to this music!!! The best living jazz bassists on scene playing together. It is pure delight for the soul!
Jazz is such a voice for one to express the inter soul, and when the soul wants to let loose, watch out... The journey could take you places you wished you could stay. Talent pushing talent to the roof. One instrument many voices, saying something different but interesting. Hebrews at the Gate. 11/21/2020 Greenville, SC
I've always liked Marcus Miller's playing, and always will...but my man Victor...Dayum!...that's some funky playin' right there starting @5:55-6:29...his timing is perfect!
Three of the best bass players in the world. This is from a creative perspective and precision standpoint. I know there are good bass players out there but these guys take it to another level.
How do you get three basses into a mix that totally kills it? You get the three best living bassists in the world on one stage at one time. I have truly died and gone to heaven.
It is great music. I saw Stanley in Milwaukee 1986 summerfest..Jazz oasis. Every show he would feature different players...they killed it. Was so awesome.
@@masonsimpson4296 Stanley is sort of an outlier if I said that correctly. I need to research him more. Not a fake but not a hands down genius like Jaco or perhaps even Marcus. But.... Something else. Interesting.
If y'all didn't stop criticizing Stanley's playing! they all have different taste ,it's the essence of the tour,,besides Stanley arranged 90 percent of the effort, stop the hate and enjoy the show,you won't see this type of talent on stage to often..
I L♥️VE Victor Wooten !!!!! I saw him at an afternoon performance that he was playing, with his original gig with Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, in '94 @ the Toronto JAZZ Festival . I got chatting with him after about the bass and how I like Bass focused bands, with a hard, crunchy sound, " you know, plucking & slapping the bass..." He was such a kind, generous man ! [ I was pretty young and clueless and provincial ]. I had so much fun talking to him, I wanted him to write something for me, the only thing I had on me was a book I was reading called " Storming Heaven." Turns out, I was pretty embarrassed when I found out that he's the Guy for that style of Bass. This was a real groaner for me
Larry om not racist i dont hate black people far from it i have listen slot to Black artists Jimi Hendrix Billie holiday Nina Simone ma rainey Coltrane miles Davis Stanley Clarke Donny Hathaway stevie wonder and others
I'm sorry I missed the SMV tour. I've never seen Wooten live, and I'm blown away by his mastery of so many distinct styles. You can hear the unmistakable influences of his stage mates, plus Larry Graham, Louis Johnson, Jaco Pastorius and others in his playing.
@@marjiecarmen5623 ---- thank you for letting me know.. I actually looked into who he was after watching that video. I knew the name when I read it and that he's played with Spyro Gyra and Earth Wind And Fire, James Brown, as well as other great jazz and progressive musicians. I've heard him play before but never have I seen him before this video. I am a huge fan of drummers. I have five very good friends who are drummers that I've known since elementary school and two have made a great living playing with very well known bands and another one has played on multiple albums as a session player. I was a drum tech for one for a couple years. Marjie, do you play?
@@13_13k Derico has been with victor for a long time. I was not aware that he played with those folks, now I'll have to ask him ! Yes I play Bass and know the fellas.
Why are the 541 idiots with the thumbs down, even listening 2 Music, If you don't like this you might think about the condition of your soul...This is soul moving, and total love to my spirit,,,,Priceless
It feels almost like Marcus is getting overlooked. He doesn't seem to have the flair the other guys do. He just sits back and grooves, and doesnt really show off. That said, he doesn't need to...dude is a fantastic bassist.
@@mohammedtayebnaili6209 - You're right. Marcus is always calm and non assertive. I've met him several times in smooth jazz cruises. He's extremely tallented -- even thats an understatement
It always amazes me how every bassist finds his own “voice”: Imagine this : You closed your eyes and Les Claypool, or John Entwistle, or Flea walks on stage and joins in. You’d recognise it’s him without looking.
Iam Rock/Metal guy 🤘 But no matter the genre of music i like once i see greatness specially in music i have to give them credit. This guys are some of the best bass players ever walk on this earth! Legends!
