Tal Wilkenfeld, Victor Wooten, Steve Bailey, Oteil Burbridge, J.D. Blair

[snowtraveler65]

Tal has great tone and melodic style. Steve Bailey could use a few lessons from her.

[redwards9955]

THE FUCKING BOMB!!!

[lymph4man]

Get those sex maniacs off this site! They know s#@&t about bass playing anyway...

[jrockeast]

she is such a beast..

[NikWestBass]

overkill...Im still waiting on the basses to do what they are made to do.... GROOVE!!! all of this just makes me tired of listening. Love these guys but this is a musical mess.

[MLPCustomBass]

Boring...

[TheDice2008]

bring in the drummers please...this is boring

[Zack2TheFuture]

carl thompson bass? weird looking and sounding.. but i like it better than steves fretless basses

[arock7]

BIG BOTTOM!!!!!

[GaryNull]

The other bass players are saying "awww, isn't the girl playing bass cute".

[dkjayjay]

poor 6 string bass man (you are good) but whenever she is better (learn from that) and she is better - she is much better than you;

[Yontar]

damn, burbridge rips. so much soul.

[bassarelly1]

I guess all you need is a pair of breast and a pussy, oh yeah you need to be white too.. get real show me the money

[terreseco]

@bassarelly1 So all you need to jam with these guys,( or Herbie Hancock, or Jeff beck, the list goes on) is breasts, pussy and a white skin. Ha ha ha, have you even heard her album. You would'n't even last a single bar with any of these guys I mentioned before getting fired. Why dont you show us the money. Back up your comment. Can you even hold a candle to any of these guys.

[sevensecondsdeep]

@terreseco  I agree with you, bro- have you seen "Bassarelly1" s page? He's got NO ROOM to talk... just a rapper who wishes he was more....

[coffeefoot]

@bassarelly1 

[Netspin1]

@bassarelly1 I guess all you need is a pair of ball and a prick, oh yeah you need to be black too.. Compliments! The only resort to the YouTube legacy.

[Netspin1]

@bassarelly1 I guess all you need is a pair of ball and a prick, oh yeah you need to be black too.. My compliments as the only retort to sexism and racism. Better I didn't HAVE to swallow it in the first place to realize how sick it makes me. But that's the indelible legacy of YouTube.

[AlexKalicinski]

CARL THOMPSON

*DROOOOOL

[smje1]

tal and victor



[terrykumar]

They're playing TUTU by Miles Davis. Lol.

[slapit5]

@terrykumar Tutu written by Marcus Miller for Miles.

[SanAntonioBassPlayer]

bailey's bass looks like a carl thompson- can anyone confirm?

[terrykumar]

@SanAntonioBassPlayer it is one.

[aleji0]

@SanAntonioBassPlayer sure looks like it.

[aleji0]

@SanAntonioBassPlayer vw says so at 8:35.

[yogsothoth2099]

less groove and more shred , hahha just kidding , this is great but to groovy for me.

[yogsothoth2099]

less groove and more fucking shred , hahha just kidding , this is great but to groovy for me.

[grisznik]

LOL, Wooten's got a bald patch.. I didn't notice it before, looks funny with his dreadlocks

[beyondalohas]

God i wanna do her

[warcsom]

muito bommm

[KenranThePanda]

Damn, Oteil's part is so insanely good... and it looks like Victor is being very humble :)

[dnjesusfreak]

very impressive, with all of these top notch bass players all up on one stage, and J.D. Blair too!!! i jammed with j.d blair...i failed misersably, but that is awesome!!! :)

[DivineWindOfTheSnow]

You're full of shit, davoh59.

[jbortolini]

heaven is a jam session

[Majik47]

I hate it when people smear Tal Wilkenfeld. It smacks of sexism, really. Try to play like her or shut the fuck up.

[lowstaff]

I have a hard enough time keeping the key players from stepping all over my low end. This group laid it down without doing that! They understand low end! Except Steve Bailey. He just gets annoying sometimes. lol Tal held down the groove though!

[gnisnot]

I don"t get jazz at all...Sounds like a bunch of jumbled mess to me...Just my opinion...I'm not saying it sucks or anything even remotely like that...I just don' t get it

[fjraacno]

steve bailey... what the fuck is he doing? total crap..

[davoh59]

a bunch of fretboard wankers. Not bass players but lead guitarists!!!

[Romans10Verse9]

@davoh59

Is that so? While one of them solos, what are the other one's doing? Being damn good bass players. Just cause you can't play a solo like them doesn't mean they're bad bassists. It means you need to work on your chops.

[earpluggs]

@davoh59 - you should teach them how to play bass then.

[XxDisciple666xX]

@davoh59 woooooowwwww rly? i see youve never done any research into any of these bassists.. listen to their songs, and you wont say tht again... fuckin ignorant loser hahaha

[meluaz]

@davoh59 Oh be quiet you narrow minded fool.

[sirdrakho]

@davoh59 I don't want to use such harsh expressions, but to me, as a bass player, what I hear isn't that exceptional and such. I admire them for being very good bass players, but I like others, mostly those who excel, or used to, in a band, like John Entwistle, Geezer Butler, Les Claypool and so on. This style here is so uninteresting as G3 is.

[MILISA99]

@sirdrakho You're kidding right?

[bassnicola]

@davoh59 ??

[Zuurkool1]

@davoh59

the definition of a guitarist is someone who plays guitar... not someone you think should play guitar... if they are fretboard wankers, you are an internet wanker

[slap70s]

There goes Tal pushing herself on the World like she could even start to compare to the other dudes onstage. I feel bad for Steve though. He is playing like he has his hands tied on that Carl Thompson. Not Carl's best work.

[rehtrem]

@slap70s how could you blame the luthier, especially a top notch luthier like Carl Thompson? I think it is because Steve isnt familiar with playing a fretted bass, at 3:20 he says " it needs less fretts" in a joking way but still he isnt at home with frets.

[inesenthm]

Tal is hot, she plays the bass very well, she's performed with Jeff Beck, Clapton, Wooten, Bailey, Jimmy Page, and many others, and she's only fucking 23.

Unreal. Truly an extraordinary person.

[bemolable]

@inesenthm she`s 25

[magorestes]

@inesenthm and herbie hancock

[Synequanon]

Wahhhhhh Bailey with a fretted bass, that's quite unusual

[sweetshugakandy]

This is crackers62jm writing from his Wife's account...... Christ be mercirul Unto US!!!! This is just Like WHOA!!! DAMN I DONT KNOW WHAT THIS IS!... im gonna go to be and pretend as if i was dreaming.....smh.... im out this aint rheal! ... it's not

[PortelaFender]

Ainda bem q meu instrumento é outro...

[PortelaFender]

Apenas uma pergunta: Por que eu não estava lá?

[LvnAction]

Nice Big Fat Groove!

[JDRMMR333]

I love how Tal holds it all down . . at times -- she is the only one playing. awesome.

[aGeorgian]

You know what; she reminds me of Tiny Tim; only hot.

[drg92asturias]

this is awesome:tal, victor wooten, Oteil Burbridge, Steve Bailey, the first 6 string bass... and all this in the B.B. King Blues Club en NYC.

This video should have millions of views!

[ujnawierzbie]

Damn, in his hands even fretted bass sounds like a fretless...

[DreidMusicalX2]

Too much wasted talent on one stage? I only need one! lol!

[guitarz333]

fuckin A man oteil is such a BADASS!!!!! waaaay too much talent n bottom end on that stage. seriously. the concentration of pure genius could probably warp the space/time continuum. and of course vic is a consumate professional and far too humble. its so refreshing...

[Sarc37]

Wooten is the master, but Tal can hold her own.

[giorgioadams]

MERCY,,,MERCY,,,MERCY,,,, LORD HAVE MERCY,,,, what giants are on that stage,,,,thank you for the Goose Bumbs,, glimmer62... Tal is just amazing...I have no words, just joy to watch,,,, Amazing..peace from the ..415..-;-,,, Thanks Again,,,,

[giorgioadams]

MERCY,,,,MERCY,,,,MERCY,,,,,LO­RD have MERCY ... JUST AMAZING,,,,Thank you....glimmer62. for the Goose Bumbs you gave me Today,,,what Talent is on that stage just LOVE IT,,Tal is just great with the BOYS,,,Amazing,,,,thanks again,,glimmer62... bless you....peace from the ...415,, -;-

[Parvenu333]

This is retarded.

[TheLearningDock]

Wow look at the talent in this vid. I just discovered Tal Wikenfeld from one of our members suggestions. She is awesome and to think just 24 years old and has been around for a while. Very impressive.

[mrbassmasta]

listen to this chic and learn!!!

[fieldinghoward]

I am totally in love with Tal.. damn!

[ezwind76]

Oteil....holdin' court

[Xillaw]

That's what I love about bass players; they can all play in the same place and not step all over each other and just enjoy the low frequencies. Oh, and Oteil just..wow. He took us on a little journey there.

[budaman1]

Great. Oteill's playing really just takes you places. Sunshine, gritty earth, whatever. It's always moving.

[useless987]

"and it may not work" lol

[constantine2112]

Tal looks so comfortable palying along with the legends. Way to go!!!

[Tanks5226]

tal sucks balls

[Chroposnos]

Words cannot describe how awesome this video is.... *_*

[ssab420]

Damn i dont know if i ever seen Steve Baily play a fretted bass????

[ssab420]

Look at Tal playing with the big boys!

[r3ality1]

Ugh... I just can't stand Bailey's playing. Tal is a good grover, but that opening solo was lifeless. Otiel and Vic... love 'em. Having The Regulator pumping the beat never hurts. ;)

[AceInTheWhole94]

@r3ality1 why not bailey's?? he's awesome

[chewingum]

Needs more bass. And cowbell.

Otherwise great vid!

[barillate]

saaarpado como tooca

[mtinbdos]

absolutely outstanding, so good to see some of the greats get together

[526ify]

DANG!!!!

[526ify]

DANG!!!!

[fedalxis]

I love you, Tal!))

[musicmanrak]

I was at this show and it was pure bliss, the whole time.

[wygakyl]

I at least hope there's bass-playing angels flying around Heaven like Tal Wilkenfeld. My gosh, is she not a bass-ripping woman-child, and beautiful to boot. Her smile after a killer solo lights my fire!

[corby36]

sweet CT steve has got himself there....

[carl7waters]

they are all awesome I don't know why people compare musicians its like that old saying about apples & oranges also if you have nothing good to say say nothing

Peace

[Petalittia]

Oteil is simply brilliant!!!!!!!

[KoheletGama]

I love see Tal playing

[newempireblues]

four alphas

[EMTampier]

Steve's bass is out of tune or the intonation is REALLY bad - you can see Victor make a comment to Oteil about it at 2:44

[MendingMedia]

Tal Wilkenfeld

[TheBlahblah39]

too bad didnt go all out. he only directed this majestic orchestra. :)

[bigwm]

Great to hear these guys together, good to see peopl finally looking past Tals' obvious cuteness and HEARING her, great to se the first six string ever made, maybe there's a reason it go superceded by mny other odels...wan't feeling the tone t all. I believe the neck is the same width all the way up according to an AJ interview.

[20AceofBass11]

@bigwm Gah, the tone of that thing is wretched. Its horrible.

[moonmaria]

Aaaaaahh mooore!!!

Is there any other videos from this night, Please let me know! Thank You!!

[jenjis556]

i love tal!!

[march1959]

no doubt Steve is very talented.I just don t care for the style. always seems outa tune.

[Lamresh]

Invite Linley Marthe Bassists!!!

[Zumbiseiro]

Tal... No words...

[Caosderson]

Tal... I'm in love with you...

[kiko1210]

wow men history

[piemelbrieislekker]

Cool! I've never seen Tal play before. I have the Bass Player issue covering BP Live, and it looked great!

[cwphunky68]

The groove she starts @ :43 is almost cooler than her solo. Love the harmonics.

[drawlbag]

Get the DVD of Steve Bailey and Victor, it's such a great laugh and the best bass-playing ever.

[polskydead]

alguien vio alguna vez a Oteil Burbridge tocar algo?

que aburrimiento

[magicalmusic0188]

@polskydead Si, de hecho tuvo bastante protagonismo, y si no le parece aburrido deberia aprender un poco sobre bajo y volver en unos años

[opkuy]

Tal, You go girl !

[Hazafi4life]

if you close your eyes..you'd swear Oteil was George Benson on Bass..

What a line up!........

[bemolable]

@Hazafi4life jajajaja I agree

[opkuy]

Tal, you go girl !

[djlsb]

Tal has the funkiest finger style I have ever heard

[noinwe]

Hate to bust your bubble, but, she's not that good. She is only getting noticed, cause she's a little white girl. Also you must have never heard anyone else on this planet, play style.

[BassicallyChristian]

lets use the term "growing" because she is talented. She definitely has some novelty because she is a "little white girl" but the stuff she does above the 12 fret is scary good and soulful for a person her age...we all wish we could play with our musical elders...

[bimwopbarn]

hate to bust ur bubble, but ur an idiot. ur only dissing her because shes a little white girl, close your eyes and listen shes one funky chick

[mcdeepend]

oteil is the doggy's waggle...the rest follow in his wake

[fender1325]

Tal has a great sense of jumping in and out of time. One minute its funky then it twists your mind then its funky again. and Oteil is a pure genius.

[strattan]

to many basplayers ;)

[rootn5th]

I dont like the sound of Steve's new bass! (sorry steve)

[bostondenyba]

Oteil is freakin loving her!

[bemersonbakebarmen]

is the little girl playing with the jaco pose?

[HammondB200]

Who's on drums

[Virtuosic1]

Off night for everyone???? Without well practiced stretches, its realy rough going here for Bailey and Wooten! Lot of floundering. Really surprised.

[091053JG]

Bass player heaven! I saw Tal a few weeks later with Jeff beck at the Fillmore.

[mrdog66]

To bad Jaco's not around...

[bemolable]

Wooten was gossips about Steve Bailey jajaja

[bemolable]

qu bolas, tal lo hizo mejor que stve bailey

[Changles]

not feeling this unfortunately...

[SurveyofFilmMusic]

Oteil. by FAR the best

[pbrbdem]

6:05. i hate you...

[leeble611]

bass made famous by Les Claypool

[Fretfeeler]

The funny thing about this video is Tal is the glue here.

Truly a prodigy.

[Bassthijs]

I like that drummer!

[bowelrock]

So bailey has Anthony Jacksons old ct 6 string now wow!

[lankybass2244]

Never have I heard a girl play bass..... let alone that well...

[EAbassist]

Its not possible to have that much awsomeness in the same building without the roof getting blown off. Just to see one of them play live would kick ass, but to see them all together. Who ever filmed this was the luckiest person alive.

[caw3112]

OTEIL @ 5:45 MELODY MASTER

[caw3112]

LOL! this is so funny! there are these three BIG heavy male bass players with their BIG heavy asses... then tal with her SMALL ass

[carabata64]

Steve Bailey ES UN MUERTOOO

[bustabo23]

you really should see him with his fretless bass, playing with wooten on their clinic

[omegamon666]

okay tal...jaco styles!

[HammondB200]

haha, no buddy, far from... tal's style is much hipper

[imdefinitelyover18]

LOL! this is so funny! There are all theese BIG heavy built manly bass players with their BIG heavy basses and BIG punchy thick bass sound ..and then there is Tal!! :D This is great. Tal is great! They are all great!!

[PhukkOfff]

I always figured I'd see this kind of shit AFTER I died

[Mjollnir50]

@PhukkOfff my sentiments exactly

[Westlie]

4 bass players...FUCK

[TrackBurnaztv]

Wow @ Tal's and Oteil's solo

[salm37]

wooten is the man but tal is cuter lol

[4rainbowed]

3 of my favorite bassists up there-- though Wooten is (IMHO) the best.. of those who passed on, in the rock arena I loved Entwistle's bass guitar from the Who, and the jazz arena, Jaco Pastorious was the truest virtuoso.

[BillFurlong]

Really cool video. Steve did not seem thrilled about playing that Carl Thompson unfortunately. Then again, last minute grabbing a bass and not having it dialed in and set-up the way you like it can really hinder your performance. He rocks though.

[zawadzkibass]

Tal is Great!!

[ianenderson]

That's funny because all three of those guys are about 5'7" or so.

[formfaktor]

So relaxed. groovin' while they sort out what needs to happen.

[mongoliandude]

Thats so jokes, Tal bounces around like Pastrious on her toes.

[bemolable]

How STeve did to get that bass?

[bemolable]

How did STeve to get that bass?

[bemolable]

How Did Steve get that bass ?

[zecalm22]

Thanks for posting this video. Great sound, grat musicians.Great basses!!!

[JrocBass07]

wow, so sick

[maidoodesu]

To my friend of Greece...ありがとさん...

[DBBSS]

One of the most awesome things that I see in my life, only bad bassist... xD

[funkbeastbasslover]

still cant believe I was there for this! beautiful stuff!

[6bass41r]

werd! i was eatn a nice big steak during this haha

[avidgolfr]

Is Steve still teaching music in Myrtle Beach?

[theroyalpriest]

Tal can definitely run with the big dogs!

[nolobede]

Another reason I like Tal. The guys are getting it together, but she's over there keeping the groove on the move !!!

[roblimusic]

Oh Man!!! That's just magical mayhem... Sheer bliss. You're a saint for posting this one WOW!
