It's basically a couple of Charles Mingus Riffs Right? At least the part from 0:55 is.

[bassist1627]

Someone with ears!

[bassist1627]

and tone def is a possibility

[bassist1627]

Thelivingdream is completely right. it IS a blues, there is nothing free form about it. And he absolutely does start in blues form.

[dtonbassist]

man i was reading this guys article on bass guitar magazine and he is indeed awesome. never thought of the upright bass much before that article but now upright bass is awesome. wish i could afford one

[asshead27]

he is an absolute force in the upright bass world. his tone and feel are really inspirational. his sound is so authentic. i would love to study with him one day.

[waynejazz38]

i was there for this clip! amazing player christian mcbride! just a wonderful experience.

[freckleface409]

nope i think its "better get hit in your soul"

[d2theutchgold2]

Yep it is

[lilkrissy123]

Both wrong, he's playin free form, I heard him quote Haitian Fight Song but didnt hear better git it in yer soul but that tune's usually way faster so i wouldnt recognize it at this speed

[xthelivingdreamx]

All of you are fucking idiots.. Its just a fucking Blues.. Tone deaf assholes. Christian is the shit.

[lilkrissy123]

first off, I'm not tone def. he ends in the blues but doesnt start in it so it cant be a strict blues form and I was just talking about tunes that he quoted so fuck off

[sean33313]

@lilkrissy123 Hey dumbass...... TRANSCRIBE THE FUCKING SOLO. and you'll totally know its an fucking F blues! even in the beginning

[sean33313]

@xthelivingdreamx Thank you! God.
