Richard Bona- Solo from Zawinul Syndicate

[lonhillyer]

Sick!

[gonzalorosvela]

se le cagaban de risa o me parecio a mi?

[lenoloc]

The sound of the player comes first from his finger or the player tonal approach. If you give this guy the ugliest sounding bass , he will still get the same tone.Yeah! the magic of fingers

[JasonLeonPike]

great

[jimbosos]

bro's playin faster than his mouth can scat!!!

[yairoka]

To be honest, he sounds like a monkey (I don't like that crap)... but he's awesome playing the bass

[mikaelstoneface]

Hilarious. At 1:37, Richard is saying to the audience, "Maybe you'd be better suited to a red neck bar where the musicians play behind chicken wire and play C-D and G all night."

[Mr081057]

De la confiture aux cochons! Bourrés à la bière et dotés de la sensibilité d'une poutre...

Avec quelle classe Richard BONA leur répond!

[pukika88]

that made me upset! iwould be pleased to hear him playing this... what's up with that audience?!?!

[mikaelstoneface]

Freakin' jerks! I saw this show live at Catalina's in Hollywood and it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. This audience has no respect. No respect at all. I totally think Richard stopped this one early.

[silveretto]

looks like zawinul is quite good at finding the worlds greatest bassplayers :)

[bigwm]

What an ignorant crowd!

[Iloveofrahaza87]

Yes, in fact, the face of Zawinul shows, that people are too noisy for such a nice song, and Bona's probably fed up ...stops, and starts with a fast solo, trying to change the situation. That's what it seems.....

[grazer770]

this is exactly the same model as marcus's bass before he(marcus) modified his.

[hallunath]

thats a fender '75 and not a marcus miller model(for details look at the potentiometer)

[gr00veN1k1]

Right. Marcus's model is replica from '77...not '75 :)

[kazamamaster]

To users looking at this video, THAT IS NOT THE MILLER BASS.

[ysfgrz]

noisy, disrespectful,audience....

[taviswardlaw]

Joe's face at 1:10 says it all. Such a shame truly great artists can be so under appreciated.

[marieS184]

super je suis fan

[drewhrt2]

this is hilarious, does he have something wrong with marcus? even though hes making fun of the crowd its still pretty cool

[ajwolf]

ahahah! I don't know what this is supposed to be, but it's good and it's funny. He has the miller bass, and he's even dressed up like Miller. Then he seems to get pissed of by the audience, who is just chatting while he's performing this expressive, sentimental tune. Then it seems as he would react by stopping the tune and by starting jsut playing fast runs on the neck. as in "You just want fast solos. i'll deliver that crap then! Foch youuu!"

[Davegewitsch]

Thats exactly what was happening right there!

Same opinion.

[tristenrh]

Sounds like he was "under the weather"...

[DMCpro6944]

The fodera sounds much better than the fender!!

[dennishemstra]

Do you have any information about the year this clip was made? I must say his singing has become sooooooooo much better, but his musicality was always stunning.

[GuilhermeBaixista]

Essa gig era do Miller, mas como não pode ir mandou o Bona de sub....dizem q ele deu autógrafo como o Miller e tudo !!

;)

Abç !!

[morgadobass]

nose que le habran gritado del publico pero despues de el solo las risas se dejaron de escuchar y los aplausos le dieron la razon al señor richard bona, una gran leccion!!!!!!!!!!

[MRDRB]

he is one cool mother fucker!

[zzoda]

Bona, really very good. I think he was upset by the audience.

Some stupid audience didn't know what they listen...

The late Joe Zawinul knew it, maybe...

[shakabass]

i'm surprised

jazz bass sounds like his fodera

i'm sure now that sound comes from his fingers:)

[blkbassplaya]

@shakabass i agree

[80sRule]

He looks like Marcus Miller with this hat.

[tristenrh]

That's the Marcus Miller signature bass, maybe he was trying to dress like Marcus for fun.

[romainlabaye]

yes i 'm sure Richard has got a big sense of humour. It's a funny guy!! Lol

[m0rtem]

this song is called Dina Lam.. if anyone is wondering

[DrShrinker]

I was wondering, in fact. So thanks for the info. Is this tune on a recording anywhere?

[m0rtem]

yup, it's in Bona's album called 'Munia: The Tale'

[DrShrinker]

Thanks. I've loved this tune since I first saw Richard perform it in '96. Can't wait to check out the "album version."

[fusionbassist1]

very interesting as people say. Thanx for uploading.

[rastacahit]

Hey This is great ! He seems very young here ... Also interesting that he played fender :D

[mikemcgibney]

Wow, haven't seen bona play a 70s jazz w/maple neck & bell cover like that before! thanks for the vid.
