  • if the riaa had its way, i would have never discovered avishai cohen

    fuck sopa, pipa, and acta, and the corporate middlemen getting rich by blocking artists' access to audiences

  • redicilous how awesome it is

  • lol, without seeing the vid, you would've thought that that's a guitar ... likey likey

  • I wish I were double bass......

  • Wahsinn!!!!

  • He is brilliant.

  • My friend was right. Very good musician. Is he also the composer?

  • Man, how did Israel get so many badass double bass players? They have Avishai Cohen AND Adam Ben Ezra! That's unfair already.

  • @yurismir1 and Omer Avital!

    

  • i guess u did't heard about eyal mazig. although he is not a Contra bass player, he is one of the most talented bass player i have ever heard!!!!! and he is also a conductor!!!

  • Beau & talentueux....... Tout pour lui. TY Avishai, go on

  • you are so good

  • Comment removed

  • For a guy that is new to jazz,what would you reccomend him to listen to?

  • @13L4CKV If you like avishai -> Esbjorn Svensson trio ; Tord Gustavssen trio.

  • @13L4CKV Dave Brubeck Quartet with the album "Time Out", Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto with the album "Getz/Gilberto", Duke Ellington Trio with the album "Money Jungle", Bill Evans Trio with the album "Waltz for Debby".

    Hope it helped!

    Sincerely,

  • @KajsSwedishMeatBalls Tack så mycket! ^^

  • THIS IS A STORY, THAT NEEDS NO WORDS!! LONG LIVE MACEDONIA :))

  • I love it!

  • Fantastic, simply fantastic skills...

  • magnifico

  • וואן אוף דב באסט

  • amazing piece

  • Great peace of music, i can hear it thousand times :-)

  • This has sex appeal. It's like a stroll through the town. :)

  • que bueno loco! hace una hora descubri a este contrabajista en el trío de 2011, realmente imprecionante! :)

  • how can you dislike this are you DEAF???????

  • nice song but the old style video effect makes me dizzy

  • I cannot believe this would recive a dislike at all, so beautiful.

  • Ah, Avishai got a bit of his solo from the Oscar Peterson trio song,You look good to me. Amazing still. One of my favourites. I will forever remember.

  • d'obbligo, of course! good night, buena noche, bonne nuit, TULEMOND!

  • Great tune! Wonderful bass solo!

  • when songs like this one have an end, I realize the world just doesn't make sense.

  • this song has an amazing power of looping

  • great music..

    youtube.com/user/foreignaffair­sband

  • This song is the best. Thank you, for posting.

  • i can honestly say that jazz is the most special form of human expression in the entire world

  • @paisteguy799 i beg to differ. they all are, that's what makes humans special. each gets to relate to that art form or music genre that best suits their sensibility. for you it's jazz. ;)

  • @bombitza thats what makes us diverse, but not necessarily respectable, because to some individuals, they listen to fucking lil wayne or katy perry, and listening to talentless acts backed by tons of money is not special, just ignorant

  • Although I love every one of the dozen or so different videos of this song, this version, (Cohen's solo)' is my favorite! i can feel every note and I find myself drifting into some other place... someplace unfamilier yet very comfortable, like returning home after many years...

  • i correct myself jazz is all the music that every day gets better

  • Gorgeous tune. Very hard to pull off relative simplicity without making it seem banal, but gotta hand it to them...

  • Oh my lord - this is good stuff! Breathtaking contra bass solo! Real goose bump piece

  • I"m in wonderland.

  • Mélancolique à souhait... La grande classe.

  • love to hear this song! it´s just beautiful... Tnx for posting the video, ´cause i discoverd avisahi thanks to u!

  • best part starts from 3:08

  • Maravilhoso

    

  • I love finding out about new artists! Shit, without the internet, I would probably be listening to eminem or some other drugged out bum. This performance was nothing short of mind-blowing.

    Thank you uploader,

    And thank God for these REAL musicians!

  • it has the wushhhh of soul wings

  • cool

    

  • they play with alot of emotions and this is what makes it speacil

  • this is gonna sound unusual but the start is like an alternative to 'paranoid android' by Radiohead

  • @RichardNagle100 they do covers

  • the most orgasmic double bass solo i've heard....

  • @BluM0nk

    Agreed. I'm a bass player myself, and even I rarely enjoy double bass solos. But this one is just excellent!

  • The most orgasmic duble bass solo ive heard.....

  • Fantastico!

    

  • ...bro, is Sam Barsh on piano for this gig at The Blue Note - Shai Maestro came later - but you're of course right, that bloody Shai is beyond reality

  • AWESOME....

  • Yofi, absolute beauty! I love it...

  • He's a god: he plays the double-bass like a guitarist!

  • He's a god: he plays the double-bass like a guitarist!

  • He's a god: he plays the double-bass like a guitarist!

  • C'est excellent... j'adore ! Merci pour cet agréable moment...........

  • @MaitlandDesign Yes, you're right,totally addictive! <3 <3 <3

  • Avishai Cohen is simply amazing! I accidentally found his music while listening to Pandora Radio online; I think the song that was playing at the time was called "Arava." After listening to this song, I immediately logged onto youtube to see if there were any songs or videos by him. Sure enough there are lot's of song and videos of him! I was listening to Kyle Eastwood at the time and Avishai Cohen's music was next on the play list! I like Kyle but Avishai is my new favorite bassist!

  • Avishai is great- but isn't the piano melody a little too tedious?

  • @thorkarlsson

    Try "Nu Nu" - there is a great piano solo at ca. 3:00 ...

    And if the piano melody wasn't so basic, you couldn't listen to Avishai's great bass ;-)...

  • @vitaminCpur Thanks! I actually heard them live today... and had a whole different experience... the piano playing was far from tedious... It was fantastic! And the percussionist was even better. Great concert!

  • @thorkarlsson

    If you use to listen to Black Eyed Peas it is

  • Comment removed

  • Anybody know anything about his rig. The things id do to make my bass sound like that...

  • I'm in love... Avishai!

  • brilliant

  • superior

  • i hope to see you soon in italy

    you're soooo gooood

  • Guys somehow i feel like i know at least parts of the melody from somewhere... a movie.. or so... anybody here who can help me?

  • @TheGuzber hehe me too. Can't place it. Maybe this actual tune featured in a film who knows, or maybe it's one of those things that happens with the finite number of notes we use ;)

  • This song never ceases to amaze me. It's pure emotion conveyed through music. Absolutely astounding. 

  • puerto rico please, thats all i ask

  • @zandor16

    Dude where are you from? I'm from Guaynabo and I'm OBSESSED with Avishai. I'm going to see him in Israel on june!

    I wish he can come perform here..

  • Don't be fooled by the view count, all of those are me hittin' the replay!

  • I prefer Shai Maestro, but this is still so so wonderful..

  • Great song...hits the spot ! Thank you, for posting. :)

  • sorry for the trench: "cette cession "blue note" est remarquable à bien des égards. j'adore cette composition qui permet à Barsh d'exprimer sa sensibilité et de faire admirer la finesse de son toucher. Quant à Avishai, toujours aussi brillant mélodique et sobre à la fois. In English:good! Euhh no, very very good.

  • @MaitlandDesign go buy the cd for christ sake!

  • brilliant piece

  • @MaitlandDesign

    I, too, suffer from this condition. It's commonly referred to as the "Avishai Cohen Trio Syndrome", and can last for years, if not treated correctly.

  • 4:54

  • Joder, qué bueno !!!!

    From South Sefarad

  • That was just beautiful!

    I really really liked it!

    Love, Gil :-)

    Israel

  • @MaitlandDesign Same here. Since 2008 I can't stop listening to this.

  • Comment removed

  • For some reason I like this version more than hundred others …

  • Nice.

  • Incredible how simple piece of music can be so addictive.

    Just can't get enough.

    Yeah, really addictive :) it has such a beauty of melody and rhythm, just amazing...

    and a wonderful performance! I love it very much.

    Einfach NIEDLICH ist das!

  • beautiful

  • This is very very good! Loving it.

    I would however LOVE seeign him playing this on an electric bass or maybe a fretless electric bass.

  • j'adore

  • la douceur faite musique. souvenir fait de belles phrases mélodiques, de silences éloquents, de respirations. Une résonance profonde et durable, douce mais si puissante. Merci pour ce dernier morceau, son leitmotiv a du mal à me quitter.

  • I love this. Would love to get a CD to have of my own. Wonderful Bass.

  • the most amazing thing is that he looks like he`s making love with the bass...inspiering!

  • Grande Jazz

  • Oh...

  • @MaitlandDesign

    I totally agree, very very addictive

  • A-mazing!

  • jazz is the only music that every day gets better

  • @litlewing - "the only"?

  • @litlewing - "the only"?

  • @litlewing I agree, although it's in spite of some of the more famous jazzmen, their labels and their pet critics, rather than because of them...this is one fine group though.

  • not realy...but a way to feel...enjoy ...and communicate...o.o...

  • @MaitlandDesign You can get this music on cd. Live at the Blue Note called AS IS. It's killer & is also available as a DVD 

  • Simply heavenly!!!!

  • soo nice. I am looking forward to see them in concert

  • is this on dvd? someone please let me know!

  • more and more moving

  • Beautiful piece!

  • Sublime! Heaven!  Thank you!!!!

  • Voici un morceau qui va me poursuivre au bout de la nuit, un solo de contrebasse que j'ai trouvé génial, des notes de piano comme des flocons, laissez-vous emporter. Je l'ai mis dans mes favoris. Six minutes de pur bonheur.

  • אחלה קטע!

  • Undoubtedly one of the musicians more interesting of today.

    Me encantas, Avishai.

  • The Hammond organ line of "A Whiter Shade of Pale" was inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach's "Sleepers, Wake!" and "Air on a G String", but contrary to popular belief, the song is not a direct copy or paraphrase of any music by Bach,[17] although it makes clear references to both pieces. This similarity is referenced in the 1982 play The Real Thing by Tom Stoppard and the 1991 film The Commitments. The music also borrows ideas from "When a Man Loves a Woman" by Percy Sledge.[18]

  • que clase de musica....realmente me encanta...aun sin letras expresan muchos sentimientos

  • Magnifique!

    Je rêverais de les voir en concert.

  • I know jazz may not often be described as "badass", but this is badass. Thanks for getting me interested in bass again, Avishai. If I could be half as good as you, I would be happy and I could die tomorrow.

  • I hear some famous classical composition in there at around 0:22 and in a few other places. Maybe someone can tell me what I'm thinking of.

  • Never mind, I don't think it's a classical composition. It's "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum that I'm thinking of.

  • Amazing is so good. beautiful song.

  • I play it over and over! They are amazing!

  • This is my second favourite track after Tides. Absolutely love it. I used to listen to this on the train going to work in the morning to chill me out...

  • people, bow! you are in the presence of greatness

    avishai cohen knows his double-bass

  • big up

  • the solo part is so great!

  • amazing

  • THAT was brilliant.

  • 29.11. Praha - Rudolfinum. Jen si ho nedokazu predstavit v takovem honosnem sale. Dala bych prednost nejakymu potemnelemu zaplivanemu baru :-)

  • * nejakemu.
