I just found out who victor bailey is through bass player mag, I got curious and youtubed him and this is the video i clicked on and I am now adding it to my favorites, I got to check out his albums, he's my new favorite bass player

[yimyim5]

i have a friend that starting to play bass after i did, i bought a inbanez starter kit and hes getting a 800 dollar fender jazz....the fuck

[Kazzzzzo]

Out of topic, but hey, what the fuck.

[dixxjamm]

hahahhahaha, I was thinking the same thing,amazing how people communicate and converse...

[arnbassbaritone]

Don't worry about that just keep practicing, and save some money to afford a new one that you want. I can tell you some great basses to buy.

[yimyim5]

thanks but i wasnt really intrested in a new bass i have a decent one from a starter kit, works for me. i find it odd that before you really touch a bass you get a really nice one. Anyways why have a good bass if you can't play it? i shall practice even more :)

[arnbassbaritone]

I'm guessing his parents have lots of money, but either you can use that as fuel. Like I use the fact that when my band teacher asked me what I wanted to do with bass and I said go to the top by playing with lots of different people and have a great solo career, he laughed at me.

[yimyim5]

>.0 that sucks, and yea i was going to use it as motivation to get better :)

[arnbassbaritone]

Well he is a ass, and does not matter now since I have gotten a lot better since then. I take lessons with Adam Nitti since the clown he recommended me to take lessons with was a waste of money.

[Ihatelittlefagkids]

@yimyim5 I would support you but you do upload videos of line rider which is pretty gay...so...fuck you BIATCH!!

[yimyim5]

[claitontesch]

[djlsb]

[emosdieslow]

This is sick nice groove and Vic i actually liked the singing it just made the solo seen more human and emotional. Bailey you the man thanks for pushing the bar. one of Berklee's finest.

[solidsnorkel]

Damn Victor, you don't have to defend yourself. Not only did you play with Weather Report, but Miles Davis! Hey, whatever you play will groove. To hell wit um!

[vicslic]

This is Victor Bailey.Two things.1-Lenny White played his own groove cause that's waht we do.OBVIOUSLY he could play what was on the record.Two-forget my singing I'm not a singer,I'm just telling my story and sometimes I need to scream and shout to do that.Peace Victor B

[myjazzvibes]

it doesnt matter what you do... i love you in all of your totality! The Low Blow masterpiece is one of the records that kept my jazz fusion radio show number one for FIVE years straight in Atlanta.

I'll play this also, if I had it. g

[gbgoul]

Vic - you don't have to defend anything Unfortuntely there will always be naysayers and they can't touch your playing or groove. I'm a bass player also -All Due Respect to you and I loved what you did on Birdland.

[Carlosbassman9886]

bien dicho amigo, Bailey es un maestro

[toofpick151]

One of my favorite bassists. I just dont care for his singing much. Not necessarily while hes soloing, just other times.

[coopdaloop07]

I can hear the jaco in him for sure

[SarciB85]

Can't help but agree there. The black Jaco Pastorius i'd say.

[zanatany974]

oh jesus! This guy is amazing...There are so many goddamn good bass guitarist on earth!!!!!!

[jazwelter]

I took a private bass lesson at his home a few years back, that I will always remeber.

[36index]

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Drummer can't play Omar Hakim's part.....too complex for him.

[tjallingbeestbeest]

I Think that´s Lenny White on drums, he´s great, played with Miles Davis, RTF, Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Freddie Hubbard, Buster Williams, Marcus Miller, Herbie Hancock and many more... i think he´s playing the part he wants to play.

[NOTTOBE2]

WHERE IN THE HELL IS VICTOR BAILEY '

[Kazzzzzo]

What do you mean?

[Kemet09]

Ummm he would be the guy playing the bass in the video... You know Victor Bailey, the guy who played in Weather Report after Jaco left. Not to be confused with Victor Wooten who plays with the Flecktones. Unless you were playing on one of Vic's songs "Where is Paco?" ;-)

[portnoyisthebest]

Then again, I suppose it's difficult for most drummers to keep up with the recordings of omar and dennis.

[tjallingbeestbeest]

[portnoyisthebest]

This is a great video, and I'm glad someone finally put up some vic on here. My only problem is that he leaves out some of my favorite sections of his songs.

[SOLARIOUM]

low blow!!!!!!!!!!!!

[crisbassist]

favorite composer

[Carlosbassman9886]

cool!

[SOLARIOUM]

he plays thirds and fifths?!!!guys atrue bassman.contemporary i think.!

[bassroyalty]

Right, because thats clearly all he knows how to do and why he plays with weather report and is one of the best bassists of our time.

Unless you weren't being sarcastic... then im confused...

[shakabass]

i like his dirty style:)

[abath07]

Peter Horvath on the piano solo.

[tilman79]

his one of my favourites, together with richard bona (though they are very different). i especially like victors timing. his rhythmic feel is very individual.

[sebhartke]

i like victor
