[carliecosgrove]

Total musicgasim.. O John Clayton what can't you do :D

[ap1027]

whoa....

[Cheuhba]

incarnation of the cool !!

[SexOverThePhone1]

THIS IS NOT THE NICKI MINAJ SONG. WTF

[GamerMan57]

@SexOverThePhone1 the group is called Superbass. the song is called "Blue Monk" and this is much older than the song ur talking about. im just guessing that this isnt ur prefered type of music. thats ok. Nicki Minaj isnt really my thing. and thats ok too. so please dont go and judge just because this isnt what ur into. just because u dont like it doesnt mean it sucks.

[4tothepowerofcheese]

@SexOverThePhone1 kill yourself if your upset about missing that piece of shit for this glorious composition. what are you 5?

[MultiGuarddog]

This smokin . !!!!!!! let it ride .

[uprightbassmatt]

Even McBride is impressed with this 05:39

He seems to like 07:16 too.

[teachingfeller]

This is way too much cool for me to handle. I need to go lay down...

[vaniasecca]

Muito bom! Sensacional!!!

[Mamasan41]

Take your kids to hear jazz!!!!

[KillswitchEngage42]

When Ray died, he left his bass to John Clayton. Ray's wife sold it to John for $75,000. He bought it too. Not how Ray intended it, but still an interesting story.

[turixism]

Two words, smoke weed every day

John Riley on drums - what a prize!

[basstheworldbyvideo]

one of the very rare "in tune" multiple bass upright solos

[RYANN36]

Christian McBride is a beast on the upright!!! that solo was epic!

[asianinvasion95]

i just jazzed in my pants

[fiddlercrab3]

Where is John Goldsby? I hear him, but I don't see him...

[nerfkid221]

[DiatonicTelepathy]

Who's playing bass between solos? They're swingin' like crazy!

[Tokugawa17]

john clayton uses ray brown's bass now

[TheSupermonkeypants]

If you play a sexy song on bass for your girlfriend she WILL fuck you. lol

[Lecretois]

Excellent, bien que je préfère la version sans orchestre.

Leur toucher est vraiment vraiment exceptionnel !!

[BaroqueLangley]

My face hurts from smiling at this, truly awesome!

[abonawas]

@BaroqueLangley after i heard this i took the wife and jammed her with my bass......she screamed like a trumpet.....shut your trap bitch...i said.....then smaked her some more......then i woke up and realised i was dreaming........

[nemo227]

You're listening to the very top of the jazz bass talent pyramid here. This is one helluva treat to have these three together. I don't see any ego getting in the way of good music either.

[korndogg524]

i cant tell whos soloing at most parts

[Undercovertheory]

I can't listen to this any more... This sounds so friggin good my heart's about to pop!

[Puparuolo89]

ooooooooooooooooo!jaaaaaaaazzz­!



[KAMMOCK]

The best bass players strive to project enough that they don't need amps- there is no amp that doesn't screw with the beautiful sound of the upright bass. These guys do an amazing job- the fact that they cut through so well given the crappy Youtube sound recording quality is incredible.

[Hidemons]

These people are really super skilled and the double bass is a great instrument but It seems like the instrument needs some electrical help. Amplification or modification of some kind. All the plucking when high becomes really muted and messy.

[gnarzor]

@Hidemons

man, you seriously have no clue... no offense

[Hidemons]

@gnarzor how so? I played upright bass for a long time. All I'm saying is that there should be an inventor or designer to craft a better bass.

[gnarzor]

@Hidemons

fair enough... i'm playing the upright bass too ;-)

i thought you meant the overall sound of the instrument... cause that's what it's meant to sound. many people do amplify their bass via pickups or microphones... (but i guess u already know that)

in this video i guess the bad sound is due to the rather bad compression rate...

again, no offense man ;)

[333deadhead]

@Hidemons no man that pretty much exactly how a jazz double bass sound sound. the high notes are clear but still growly.

[brandondabass]

These guys are gods.

[Eerik39]

not so ussuall, but nov ... black madgick they have a blues , i have listened ray from young boy, noc christian will continue, in same style. theolonius had like it.

[Jordainio]

AWESOME. Whos the drummer?

Band is killin

[chmkla]

@Jordainio John Riley is the drummer.. one of the greatest I think. He's on some of the Scofield and Lovano stuff.. as well as the Bob Mintzer big band.. killin'

[Jordainio]

@chmkla Yeah man, i know John, couldn't tell it was him! Thanks though

[stephencoxbass]

I wish i had had the chance to see Ray live...man, he was good.

[eyeycaptain]

dam

[MrMsubo]

Go for it Bra Ray, you were so great

[MrMsubo]

One can see Ray Brown is in control of the Bassists and the entire orchestra, there will never be the same Ray Brown. Oscar Paterson once described Bra Ray "as a demanding and talented Jazz Bassist of the 20th century who contributed to modern Jazz, and easily noticeable by swinging style"

[JlawTheBoss]

Are all 3 playing flatbacks?

[joshholdridge220Sb]

I don't get it because there is an Organist but sound is clearly not that of an Organ walking bass. It's an upright bass tone for sure. John Clayton appears to be the band leader but none of the 3 are walking during the big band kicks. If John is the band leader, there sure wouldn't be an Organ walking bass most of the time. Anyone know the story on this?

[858jc]

@joshholdridge220Sb John Goldsby is the bassist with the big band.

[kennettsq]

@joshholdridge220Sb  the walking bass is also an upright , right behind CMB in the corner right , look very close!

[redhouse7]

anybody notice when the big band is playing there is a bass player playing but its not one of the 3...wtf?

[88naka]

dude... the first thing that appears on the video is a dude playing organ...

[redhouse7]

dude you are right

i am an idiot

[redhouse7]

o i know dude, i just feel like an idiot for not thinking of that in the 1st place

[Mattytheman91]

there's something so reassuring and charming about the basses playing together, It really sounds like 3 grandads having a good old jam.

[riotgearhead]

Thanks for this. Listening to this makes everything okay.

[steeliedude]

holly crap that was cool

[illsueya99]

Always smiling. Awesome :D

[andreasswarfeld]

genius post thaks the lot !!! this is what youtube be all about

[paulbloomusic]

three of the most swingin' bass players of all time

[TommyJazz86]

1:45. Ray's such a legend, listen to that groove the second he starts walking! And hitting a #11 on beat 2 of the top of the form is GENIUS. Swiped.

[Rythmman1805]

Ray Brown is the Father,Christian Mcbride is the son and John Clayton is the holy ghost

[bassmanaos]

amen brother!

[MrTimmyHendrix]

i guess that would make NHOP Allah

[Mattytheman91]

[edlaksmi]

[maxwellkelly]

Who says too many chefs spoil the soup?

[turbolawnmower]

jazz bassits are better than chefs, they can manage to do the soup just fine.

[foowah7]

Man, you can tell McBride and Clayton have listened to a lot of Ray Brown stuff over the years. Some of the influence is unmistakable.

[gatortail1]

OMG! OMG!

[unibomber111]

Christian has some of the hippest lines today.

[awfulguitarplucker]

those guys kick the ass outta hell with those doublebasses!! never heard such Soul outta these huge crankers!!

[ejlarsonstratford]

from left to right is it christian mcbride, ray brown, john clayton?

[MakeTeaNotWar0]

from left - Christian McBride, John Clayton and Ray Brown.

[MakeTeaNotWar0]

No, you're right. First Ray then John. Sorry

[ejlarsonstratford]

i think i was right. i would know ray anywhere, and i know john is a lot taller than christian.

[MakeTeaNotWar0]

Yeah. To be honest I haven't seen Ray for a long time. Now he is dead right?

[ejlarsonstratford]

for 6 years.

[MakeTeaNotWar0]

Yeah. At that time I was just a little boy... That's why I didn't remember his death said on TV

[HansHx]

Einfach nur geil!

Die Jungs fühlen den Blues !

[andytolman1]

This is just great!

[chop1992]

The WDR Big Band bass player John Goldsby (not shown in the picture) is playing bass on the ensemble sections.

[kennettsq]
