"Why Is It" by Yellowjackets 

In this video, Dane Alderson plays one of the best bass solos ever. Sound, tone, rhythm, tensions and releases. All was flawless.

Старички продолжают изумлять удивительной свежестью без нервозной суеты и вульгарных понтов. Изысканная пластика, реальная мелодичность, запоминающиеся темы, своя фирменная колея в жанре, где, казалось бы, трудно открыть нечто новое. Привет из Героической России ;-)

The greatest Jazz quartet on the planet.

I give up. These guys should rule the world.

3:52 OMG Dane Alderson is a bass demi-god

Honestly, it’s hard to be this clean. Beautiful music.

Whenever or wherever you play you lift the art form ever higher. Thank you! For me, Bob Mintzer is the ultimate arranger/composer/saxophonist.

Venturing into Tribal Tech territory with the palette coming from the bass solo on this one.

May 26, 2019 performance. Thanks for dusting this off. Dane, you are amazing. Thanks for being in Yellowjackets.

Cannot wait for you all to come back to Holland at the Boerderij. Thank you so much for your greatness in music! I Love Y'all. Happy New 2024

What a journey of musical explosion..outstanding playing and feel. West aussie bassplayer Dane Alderson nailing it!

Masters!! My man Will, you guys just can't stop getting better, right?? Wonderful, thanks for posting this! Cheers from Italy

Reestablished my fanaticism for this band. Lifelong fan!!! @ Will from yet another Will... Bless you man. I am formerly a drummer at Allen Temple in the Bay Area and your mother was, and always will be, one of my favorite persons ever.

WHOA!!!!! As always.

I knew when my vote for Dane Alderson brought him in 3rd at the Wangaratta Jazz Festival Bass comp, in 2001, he was destined for a great future. Bravo Dane!

Fantastic 👌🏿 I have so many Yellow Jackets albums. I also hosted the late Ricky Lawson here in 2010. Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿❤️

YELLOWJACKETS BEAUTIFUL NICE SMOOTH GROOVE JAZZ MUSIC 🎵🎶🎷🎸🎺🎻🥁🎙🎤🎧📯🎹

The main person of this band is the drummer Will Kennedy ! Forget about " Yellow jackets" without him !!!

You guys are MFer's I love you all and have been inspired by you since your first album, yes I said ALBUM. You have all been an inspiration and I have seen you numerous times at Birdland in NYC. Thank You Larry Del Casale

Le jazz à une formule il faut que tout soit coordonnées et je pense qu'il faut avoir un certain répertoire ou une référence une croisade ça t explose va décortiquer good vient chercher 😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉

What an incredible group of truly amazing musicians.

Very nice feeling with this "up tempo" a bit faster as usual... Russel F., you are a great one with a uncommon sense of increasing de tension during solos. And add a little synthe of the bass is also refreshing the piece... Many thancks for the emotion and the pleasir to listen..

Alderson is my favourite bass player of his generation...soooooo cooool

Woooooooo! Dane is a complete monster.

Will just luv how play Those dynamics it just blows me away 🙃

Out of this world ....I say no more

Nailing those syncopated conversational sixteenths, like musical auctioneers in a bidding war for fate of sonic truth!

You guys just continue to amaze and inspire me! Thank you so much for sharing your Gifts, and GOD Bless!

wao..wao wao wao...impresionante ese solo de bajo...wa wao wao...i haven't hearted a solo bass like this one....wao wao wao....impresionante.

Insane bass soloooo...!

TRUE Masters of their Craft!

I guess these aliens dropped down from one those recent spaceship visits! Just awesome!

Time for fresh apple pie in the new old world! All the best from Amsterdam. HNY.

Dane Anderson is Britness star found by Bob Minz. Thank you and Great Secses for yours!

The last guy was right. Dane is probably the best bass player alive right now. This solo is the ultimate. But the band are also the best at what they do. Why does this video have so few views?

Yes, I'll take two tickets, please!

Exceptionnel groupe !! À part le réalisateur qui pendant le chorus de basse, nous montre le pianiste et le batteur. C'est vraiment ahurissant d'incompétence...

OMG ! what a level of bass solo !

Fabulous..

Wooow, fantastic..!! what a group.. Jackets Forever..!!

Awesome!!! 0:29 Russell tribute to Keith Jarret???? Amazing. Will Kennedy, you and your playing looks every day younger and fresh!!!

Will, thanks so much for posting yet another awesome performance of one of my favorite YJ tunes. You've got a new subscriber. P.S. I've been listening the hell out of some Jackets XL, BTW! - the live concert, the Mack Ave official individual tracks, and now I'm finding the individual WDR version of the studio recording, allowing all the visuals of the band(s).
