Alain is one my favorite bassists, for sure. Because not only he has chops, I love his composing skills. As a bassist myself, we tend to write more cool compositions because we are very critical in our role as a bass player. We won't accept nothing less.
Unique, ce gars là maîtrise son art. Je l'ai vu live plusieurs fois à l'air du temps dans le vieux Montréal tant avec Uzeb qu'avec son band et à chaque fois j'en fus renversé!
Alain Caron is one of the best bassists, anywhere, not just in Quebec. There are alot of great players but not many that have there own voice on their instrument, Alain Caron does.
I love Alain Caron! My bass teacher showed me a play-along transcription book for the album "PLAY" (which includes this song) and I fell in love with the music immediately. =) However, I doubt he's the No.1 all round bassist - I'd like to hear him play The Glass Prison by Dream Theater. :P
SAAMIAM99....Those are my exact feelings...The reason he is my favorite at the moment is because, try and think of a bassist that plays all those styles equally as good as the other. not STANLEY OR JACO OR VICTOR to begin with. I also ;like Tom Kennedy from WECKL. Alain is the man .
PHENOMENAL!!! Thanks for the video!
I'd like to see those 3 dislikers!))))))))

Alain is one of my favourites...His playing has inspired mine for several years. He's an amazing musician and not only a great bass player

The connection between Alain Caron and Paul Brochu is obvious: they create exceptional grooves, and they make it all look so easy & relaxed.

Growing up where I did, UZEB used to play here quite often. I was lucky to catch these guys live a few times, really amazing muscianship.

This man is a god. If you think his slapping is good, you should see/hear him play fretless.
