[rmoraespinto]

Elvin had this thing with Japan... His wife... and piano players... No one else would play brushes like him - such an amazing power! And such a kind soul...

[frcamachojr]

anybody know what the name of this song is?

[jonnyboy559]

@frcamachojr softly as in a morning sunrise

[jwklbm326]

Elvin could have driven a big band playing brushes.

[olflatop]

I wonder what year this was. Looks like sometime in the 70's.

[MrBassflute]

Not the tv's fault...early pickup technology, through a crappy old Fender bass amp...miked cabs, just what the bass player's putting out...

[JDA315]

I got to reorganize richard's cabinets of sheet music for him 2 summers back. We would sit in his basement and watch westerns on amc while I was working. What a great man

[dsgraham72]

The electronic bass pick-up would account for the 'electric bass' sound.

[conmoto]

Richard kicked me out of his class for talking. And don't ever put your feet on the chair in front of you; he'll kick you out for that too. Scarred me for life. He had brunch with my girlfriend. He didn't hit on her, so I guess he's okay.

@xbassist9x I've studied with Richard at UW music clinic too! And I'm going to again in a month!

[horrorjock6]

Richards my teacher!

[souporsonic]

@horrorjock6 really/...i had a lesson book of his back in about 1980 Steve Davis (coltrane my fav things) lived in rochester. I saw Son House in rochester (someone's livingroom!) about 1972 it was awesome, My blues teacher found him living here retired from the railroad, he taught Muddy Waters, I had Jerry Niewood as a sax teacher in 73 or so, tragically killed in an over iced plane incident, other band members not Chuck though also perished w/ pilot and the rest sad. Jerry was so fn cool!

[Ehrhardt1]

Softly

[Ehrhardt1]

what's this song again?

[blah148]

@Ehrhardt1 softly as a morning sunrise.

[valentynesuite]

elvin....wha a genial drum conception!!!! this is clear genius away from technical bizarre from Rich fanatics

[wetdog158]

@valentynesuite Thank you! I'm glad someone said it before I did. haha

[xbassist9x]

Richard Davis is a living legend and an incredible human being!

tmgray: how long have you studied with him and what year are you at UW? also Do you go to the Bass conference in the Pyle center? I'm from Mad-city and I was fortunate enough to study with him one summer.

[Lasersharp]

Wow. Richard Davis used to be a friend of mine. In 1971 he took me along to different nightclubs in NY where he performed and later on, I accompanied him to the Newport Jazz Festival where he played with six other bass players. This video brings back memories for me.  Thanks.

[tmgray]

Richard Davis is my Professor!!!!

He is The MAN!!!!!

[hejson3]

The bass sounds like a banana or something :s

[utubeissad]

You're right. What an awful bass sound!

[antoniodespenteado]

Sounds almost like an electric bass! Typical tv recording quality :)

[InspectorEbony]

He has such an aggressive approach to brushes!

[vernob]

richard davis makes me want to hear bass, which is a truly spectacular feat. amazing stuff

[PaulMurphyJazzDrum]

thank you for posting. i love to listen as much as i love to play. murphy.

[rogelito]

Elvin could work the triplet in so many ways, using different limbs and different parts of the kit. Truly a school unto himself!

[Safagan]

elvin is magnificant. I am always speachless. As soon as i get more elvin solos from my teacher ill upload them and share them with you...

[Soul74]

Whoah! Holy magnetic pickup tone!
