All the people complaining about the intonation kind of miss the point. I actually like the fact that the intonation was not "perfect" (whatever that means).
The bassist made certain intonation choices to give his playing personality. If you really have doubts about his ability to hear and play pitches, check out how smoothly he transitions into harmonics (between 3:05 and 3:30) -- transitions which require exact pitch.
Intonation is just another tool in the player's box.
Big sound. Nice touch. Intonation will take care of itself. I don't think it works the other way around. Players with spot on intonation but who lack a feel for the instrument and music generally rarely acquire nice touch and a big expressive sound.
great dude!!! the pianist got to play a lit less and expresive, I am pianist and i also play the contrabass. i can play both parts, but i more pianist that contrabass player. Job job Boys

the vibrato could be used without it being as wide. It will fix some intonation problems

it was pretty good
but you need to hold your notes for full value and the high notes where off
but good job

You were really bad intonation and the trill was very bad. The pianist did not get a chance to express herself.
