Michael Benjamin plays "Confirmation" on Bass

[TheMarcusjazz]

WHATS THAT BASS????? IM GOING TO BUY ONE OF THAT!!!! PLEASE TELL ME

[LobotomizedZombie]

Amazing how he can make his bass sound like horns!

[Techdrome]

Yes, it's great mate! You play it very precisely!

[haircut999]

Nice! I did this too, on 4-string [a Rickenbacker 4001, as I recall] about thirty years ago.

One of my fave bebop tunes. Keep up the good work.

[thagodfather007]

shit is sick!!!!!

[msadawnf]

Pretty damned good. I played this one for my year 12 music performance exam on my Peavey TL6 in 1988. Go Peavey and go Parker!!

[yeebeascurvydawg]

you fuck up at 0:17 :P

[assholefuckerjackass]

@yeebeascurvydawg what a 'my screen name". really.

[yeebeascurvydawg]

@assholefuckerjackass

likewise my good chap

[dimitar12mk]

IMHO this song is more difficult than donna lee. I can play donna lee on tempo 280 on bass, but i still struggle with this song.

[donnieboy31]

so clean!

[nudeadnation]

just speechless watching you play dude

[Azaan1016]

l LOVE THE BASS CIRRUS?

[franzjoseph88]

Now do it on standup!

[fluidjazz]

er..upright

[getyourbreckerismson]

would love to hear the solo aswell :)

[uprightboy]

definately inspiring.

[BerenDaMeleh]

wow nailed it! and really really great sound

[Jerram89]

cool stuff - now on upright! :p

[HendrixcommaMartin]

Is the walking you do at the end you or a transcription of whoever is playing bass on the actual song?

[ZENSIBLE]

mikey !  GREAT JOB

[fenderforever09]

good job, i know what a challenge this song is

[hahabass]

Yeah, especially on bass. OMG!

[foowah7]

I'm working on it...just got through the A section of the head (at least in the aebersold version)

[C33Four]

This you can share said dots? I can't find it and it would take me a week to transcribe by ear.

PM me if you can ;)

[hahabass]

Charlie Parker Omnibook.

[Dominicthebassist]

It sure inspired me! I've got the dots for it, I just need to learn it now.

Dom

[giedosst]

Nice!

[antobal]

you should keep showing the rest of the song, to ear your walking, there i can see your skills...

well done, my bassist friend.

[Martincer]

wow, you play it cleaer than Bird :) good job.

[havic5]

Good stuff, man. This would definitely be a good one to learn after Donna Lee.

[rotarooter2564]

Cool Vid. I in a Jazz school in little old New Zealand, One of the combo tunes is confirmation so that means everybody has to be able to play it (even bass players). I think it is a better tune than donna lee. good stuff.

[checkster12]

Wow, man, you need to move out to my area for some jam sessions, lol. Excellent.

[HopePoisoned]

heh that was pretty cool good job

[Flemmingdoerken]

I know you said "to this day I have'nt seen anybody pull out "Confirmation" on the bass" almost a year ago, but just wanted to let you know that Marcus Miller did it at Bass Day 06. You can watch it from bassplayer[dot]tv... its really cool

[tomashekt]

nice walking at the end.

keep up the good work!

[schindlerial]

Very inspirational! Wonderful! Good Luck!

[deliciouskisses]

just....wow.

[Ho11owpoint]

I need to learn to play that. It'll take forever but it'll be so worth it. Advice greatly appreciated.

[Sunyveil]

wow... I'm a saxophone player and I can't play along to the bird that flawlessly

[m0sma]

you beat me to the punch on posting "confirmation". well maybe i'll be the first guitar player to post it :D

anyway, bad ass, nailed the head and it sounds like you're pretty damned solid when it comes to comping.

[pacerman2010]

wow ur a god of the bass

[AdrienELC]

Nice one !

Keep groovin' ;-)

[rymixxx]

V nice!

[trb506bass]

eso si es tener todos los shops el jazz es lo mejor!!!

[GuitarArt]

Very good .... 10.

[Govithoy]

Nice job on that! The head might sound a bit nicer up the octave, but you did a great job as it stands now.

[martinchococo]

well done man!

[fernandogonzales]

I enjoy the song very much! awesome

[mcwarska]

this tune is soooo tasteful

[Bass89]

Do you play professionally? If not, you should be.

[nealbowen]

What a great tune. Great job on the bridge section too. That lick over the e-flat min is kind of a booger...now you gotta learn the solo though!

[goldenmonkey133]

love it.

[moonmanmort]

stunning. that was amazing. did you figure that all out by ear? or did you transcribe it? actually, it doesn't matter. it was killer.

[LobsterMassage]

Sweet. Nice Cirrus too. I have one and it's the best bass you can get without paying $6000 for something like a fodera.

[macgre510]

i was expecting you to play the walking bassline the whole time. but you played the head. good job

[BlackJohn]

damn!!!

[breese1]

WOOOOOWWWWW!!! nice man you own i'll give it a 5 on 5! Jazz is the MUSIC
