  • I saw her and Jeff Beck together...I am a veteran of the Music scene...She is a great player..and I know Jeff used her as an attraction..still good..

  • very soulful and stirring... drummer is sharp as fuck, as is Tal of course! ten thumbs up!!

  • Have you ever heard of Indigo Kids ???

    She is one of them.

    Thanks God for Tal !!!

  • Great music, period!

  • Tal rocks! I was blown away first hearing this album in '07. and continue to be with every listen. what an amazing beautiful talent. The world needs more musicians, and less computers.

  • Monster band with Carlock on the drums. Basicly Wayne Krantz Trio who are unreal.

    Tai has a very long career ahead of her. Hope to catch her sometimes because I love her bassing. If you want to get blown away check out the Wayne krantz Trio on Yourtube or just Keith Carlock the drummer on this album. Holy shit is he sick.

  • I'm in complete awe. 10 minutes ago I had never heard of her, and this is amazing. This girl is a gift to music. Imagine in 10, 20 years...

  • most inspiring piece I've seen in a while keep up the amazing work !!! its music like this that should be on our radio's and not the the may I call them more entertainers than Musicians but still a real musician appreciates all walks of music but this music really should be appreciated more cause of the time and effort put into something amazing as this thanks for the inspiration

  • what's the time signature? I think it's like 2 meaures of 4/4, one of 7/4, then 2 of 4/4, one of 7/4, then a measure of 5/16... at least in the first part, then I think that repeats or something... or however you choose to divide that up... ? help me oot

  • river of life is not full of all this depression.

  • Could well be the next Mingus,,,,,,,,,

  • Does Jeff Berlin owe child support?

  • She's insane! Although I'm not a big fan of this style of playing bass....but I appreciate her amazing talent

  • i just realized that Tal is just three days older than I am, and she out outplay me in every way possible. except maybe tremolo picking. there is no hope for me as a musician.

  • @iskim86 read your comment and went to wiki to find out how old she is and you know what? she is 1 day older then me! bloody mysticism! thank god I am not a bassplayer=)

  • and for fusion lead guitar listen to nor bucci!

  • quit comparing her to jacobus--she has her own style

  • Such a great piece of music. On my channel there's a video where I'm playing it. Check it out :) Just love that tune!

  • lol loving this chick aye XD she is da man!!! :P wish i could jam wit her heh

  • La première fois que je l'ai entendu sur le dvd de JEFF BECK les larmes me sont venues aux yeux tellement il y avait d'intense sensibilité dans son chorus de basse! en plus c'est vrai qu'elle ressemble à un petit ange venu d'un autre monde...un vent d'amour qui souffle sur le monde de la musique! en plus admirablement accompagnée par un des batteurs les plus intéressant du moment: KEITH CARLOCK (groove, jeu lyrique et créatif) DIDIER D'AGOSTINO DRUMS VIDEOS sur YOUTUBE (voir GROOVE SHUFFLE FUNK)

  • what a little angel..and wonderful musician...

  • im in love.

  • Three thumbs up!!

  • IF she sang, she'd easily have won a Grammy before Esperanza Spalding. They're both great bass players. The point I'm making is that Tal is definitely as good of an overall composer as Esperanza.

  • The way I feel this music.... Tal is definitely playing from that "Inner Space" that only great musicians know how to tap into. She is definitely one great bassist!

  • wonderful

  • Mercy.

  • Tal kicks ass

  • God dammit, I think I love her.

    Simply beautiful.

  • @tiguilherman yeah bro....you just joined the rest of the male beings on planet earth, haha

  • @cyprescrow hahaha... just thinking like the rest of the male beings on planet earth... only loud

  • It seems her imagination in composition is tied perfectly to her ability to play it. Tal taps in and flows - she is remarkably mature in her taste while expressing with pure enthusiasm and joy what it is to make music and art. There is no hype here - Her gift is real so just enjoy it.

  • Is she single? Jk, what talent

  • I am old. I remember Jack Bruce. And I still love him. But this lady kicks ass. Simply.

  • She is great! But a bass player need help like a great guitar player to make it work. When I was 20 years old I would put myself

    thur this to seem cool. I am not cool and I am going away from this mess.

  • Go Aussie Girl woo hoo

  • what a song !!!!!!!

  • Non ho parole... è sublime!

  • Tal is hotter than a pistol,sorry boys,just had to get that outt'a my system there.

  • @USAdude30 yo whatever bro thats not even half as bad as what I would say hahaha.... I would rip that girl in half yo. such talent. pure soul.

  • @killahoekillahoedead Not quite sure how we went from tear her in half to a pure soul but oky doky I guess.

  • Unbelievable. <3

  • I'm in love with your sounds. Thanks Tal I'm live again.

  • Jazz drummers, even average ones, are so much more musical than most rock drummers. Not saying Keith Carlock is average, I just had a general thought listening to this smokin' groove.

  • Great tone and jazz sensibility...gorgeous chicks and basses go together!

  • Comment removed

  • out of everything i have heard about this girl..that shes spossed to be the most amazing new bassist on the scene.this is it?..shes an good bassist but seriously. she isnt a bass god.

  • Comment removed

  • Tal Wilkenfeld with Esperanza Spalding...that would make my orgasms have orgasms...

  • It's wonderful how this says so much, has no lyrics and is so relaxing - all at the same time...

  • i switched back to this amazing bass solo nearly 1000 times

  • I love how she enjoys and supports what the other musicians are doing. I'm sure she makes everyone else play better. That's what a true musician will do for you.

  • Wow! This is one serious young lady. She can stand up with the greats already.

  • Now THATS!! what I call music. This IS real musical talent, she has a gift and she uses it to make wonderfull, creative and intelligent music. There's nothing faked or fabricated here...She is AMAZING!!

  • now this is a bass player

  • wow, amazing, what a sound!

  • Oteil Burbridge, you just have your equal in terms of rolling basses and groove.

  • Amazing talent...

  • Unreal ! What a shining star Tal is . Wow !

  • 5:52 - epic face! love it

  • The more I hear, the more I like. B¬)

  • Jeez girl, you are so melodic... along with everything else, chops, charm! I haven't heard new music that good in quite a while. Thanks for the inspiration!

  • 10 dislikes from 10 jealous peeps lol

    

  • brilliant sound! reincarnation of jaco?! she's great!

  • she ei the best

  • Fein ... sehr fein!

  • Best since Barry Oakely at Fillmore; Whipping post for the youg'ens.....................

  • yea. the bass is better than the saxophone here.

  • Just a plain astounding talent!!

  • she knows...

  • Wow, this is like Return to Forever at their best. I am in total awe of her talent.

  • Tes très bonne bassiste ça fais plaisir

  • Jeff Berlin is god in this type of music.

  • fusion lives and my old ass heart sings.

  • @treyrosenmeyer Is this somewhat reminiscent of Weather Report, Jaco Pastorius, et al? Or just my imagination?

  • Tal defines bass as a tool, not a toy. She blows my mind.

  • 8 'dislikes' from Jedward fans...

  • I play bass since 10 years ago, n still studying music, its not the way how she plays or the technique....cuz I know lots of people that has been playing for even 40 years but cant solo like she does.........., its how u express urselve with the bass.....thats more than technique, thats connection..........u cant really understand when she solo, she speaks........and very nice, not just nice words....but nice sentences!

  • @elfunkeado ... yes indeed... she speaks w/ the bass... beautiful.

  • @elfunkeado

    Well said :-)

  • Stanley Clarke has a daughter i don't know of?

  • @axlxexxx i thought she was Suzi quatro's estranged daughter

  • @axlxexxx I bet even Stanley doesn't know about it....

  • only 8 idiots at this round.....

  • Superb !!

  • How can you start learning guitar at 14, switch to bass at 17, and be brilliant on it by 18? Would it be wrong to suggest that this girl is not only a natural but a genius?

  • Talent and Beauty, simple like that!!!

  • her playing has the good odor. yeeha

  • Amazing Tal...with and equal amazing Keith Carlock on the drums

  • I dig the time signatures.

  • Talented and gorgeous - it doesn't get any better than that.

  • oleeee desde españaaaaa

  • Go you Aussie.

    

  • i'm in love with you bass girl.

  • Tal is the genuine article.

  • Great pure bass sound !

  • To: Mr Yellingelk...Tal's talent is a matter of debate for anyone except the likes of you. Your response to me had to be removed because you lack the maturity to observe common decency. You should stick to the internet because your attitude will someday write a check that you can't cash in person.

  • sounds like stanley! go tal

  • You should be dropped down an elevator shaft. What an unkind thoughtless bozo you are!

  • i want to buy her album!

  • I wonder if that is a short scale neck bass? SHe is very petite and the bass doesn't look that big. I play a short scale bass with a 30 inch neck and it looks about the same size compared to her.

  • I can't speak intelligently about the music, but her tone is nice. She is captivating to watch, with her dear face and the way she gets into the music.

  • Sembra Jacob Pastorius? ( it seems to)

  • I'd like to see her parents record collection, this kid has it all

  • I hope some day I'll be as good as her, but for now, I'll just keep loving bass

  • I love the song, it sounds very beautiful... but it's so hard to figure out. Like that melody that keeps repeating before the improvisation. I'm trying to figure out the time signature... I'm sure the drummer starts out in 4/4 but the bass and sax are playing in different time. And the improvisation part... forget about it!!! Tal is a genius, and very beautiful!

  • At her age and with her talent and work ethic, she could be the greatest bassist ever. including Stanley Clarke and the King of Weather Report. She is young, impassioned and already has a perfect gig with a legendary guitarist who will share the stage. Jeff Beck already has a monumental legasy. But, his greatest gift might be bringing Tal into the mainstream consciousness.

  • @john9944

    Uh no, that will not be his biggest accomplishment. She is very good but Jeff's legacy stands on its own.

  • I can definitely hear some Jaco in her phrasing. But she stands on her own, and her talent is undeniable! I'd love to hear her in a more traditional jazz-setting, perhaps a trio. I first became aware of her through her playing with Jeff Beck, and she impressed me with her maturity as a musician. I can't believe that she's only 23 years old. She sounds like she's been playing professionally for 30 years!

  • Don't post slide shows on you tube.  They suck balls.

    PERIOD

  • @gracoat By your reasoning if no Video exists the music must stay hidden.

  • @Breatherable noo. probalbly muted. all he cares about is his moving pictures:S

    he is bothered by pictures but not quadrillion fake vids online:S

    makes me sick

  • yeah! mr.K drums!

  • IMBECIL

  • I hate this still picture crap I want to see her PLAY!

  • @panhead1219 Yeah, true, but even stills of her are pretty good...

  • The only thing i can say is MERCY MERCY MERCY,,,,What a talent Tal has,, one of the Best Tal is just Amazing...one of the Greats,, what a gift..thank you .. dam1622...for the tune,,,LORD have MERCY,,,,just AMAZING...peace from the ..415...

  • Yes sure ...

    It looks like ppl are listening with their eyes and and judging with their dicks ...

  • Some people are born to born to play and are lucky enough to find the instrument that suits their voice as a player...Tal is definitely one of these!

  • What a song!! Specially the last part, the outro!!

  • Tal had only been playing the bass for 3 years when she toured with Jeff Beck, and Chick Corea in 2007.. incredible amount of talent. 

  • Tal Wilkenfeld first album has some nice beefy playing that makes you smile, she is Jeff Beck's current bass player touring this season..keep an eye out for her if you aren't already...

  • Tal Wilkenfield: bass and vocals

    Jeff Beck: guitar

    Jason Bonham: drums

    AWESOME LINEUP!! I'M TELLIN YOU MAN!!

  • @SuperMetallica83

    my god, what a group that would be!!! Id pay big money to see that

  • ajme, cura je.. bez riječi sam. *__*

    zbog ovakvih videa poželim naučit svirat bass.

  • If a girl's going to play that way, couldn't she at least be ugly or something? -- or smell bad? Jeez.

  • @wusundowma loool

  • @wusundowma now we can only die in shame, because she's suepr hot too!

  • @wusundowma - she sure isn't easy to look at - wait til she gets older - ruff ruff!

  • @wusundowma How do you know how she smells?

  • @wusundowma: Lol, why shouldn't she be easy on the eyes?

  • @wusundowma hahahaa.. and STUPID TOO! 

  • @wusundowma naah... we have to learn to work together with beautiful people. It's not their fault to be beautiful or attractive, it would be unfair for them to have problems with their work because of that. Happily this world is becoming more used to it, specially in arts. I'm glad that such things are happening, the wake-up call is getting to young people. They're following their passion and not their nice faces to get somewhere in life. Good for her and for all of us!

  • @celsius82 - Are you kidding ? The world is becoming the complete opposite to that !

  • very nice ! です.

  • I grew up listening to fusion from the In a Silent Way on up and this girl is really a natural groove rider. man, she sounds so comfortable shifting the gears of the band's rhythm and plays some very sweet, fluid solos, leading the melody at a very graceful pace and direction.

    really refreshing to actually see how much she loves it while she's playing too. and she can rock, which is one of the key ingredients to making fusion what it is. really cool player.

  • @1Delta

    would have loved to see her playing with Miles circa 1969-1970...THAT would have been something!! Her and Jack Dejohnette, with Airto...that would be INSANE!!

  • overtones! never forget, overtones!

  • @oscarian so so x 1000 right :D

  • very,very beautiful

  • Sensational tune! Holy shit.

  • Good video.

  • tal dont be too bashful about kicking out another album in the near future you may be on to something way to go take care and tour a little in the states house of blues or something chicago!

  • Way beyond great. I've seen Jaco, and some other great bass players in person, and this young lady is in the same category. ............

  • @MegaDumbdog

    ABSOLUTLY

  • still the the "Great" there is a very tasty solo on here from the show with Jeff Beck at Ronnies, at the and of the solo Jeff says something to her and she looks up with a smile of pure joy....not because she just blew away every bass player in the zip code, and is jammin with "JEFF BECK" but because she is able to be a part of the creation.....the attempt to make something beautiful.......Go Tal!!!!!

  • good words...

  • To the GreatLoumass.......some get the big breaks....many are fortunate do it for a living....and love it even though Joe from Wal-mart doesn't know their name...and yes many people have great chops and don't make it....and many carry that same attitude that you seem to have....I just saw the one comment but it reeks of misguided arrogance, jealousy and resntment....Tal rocks..

  • what the f*** is wrong with some of you ITS MUSIC if you don't like it go listen to something else! more negativity thats what we need!

  • this is really very good kudos to Tal

  • The beast song on the record, it's verry good bass playing

  • She's well on her way alright...playing with Jeff Beck..HELLO!?!? Good on ya girl..drive 'er!

  • Some people get the breaks MOST PEOPLE DON'T. THERE ARE TENS OF THOUSANDS of gift musicians who can play the hell out of their instruments at age 10, 12, 13...etc..... SOME STEP IN SHIT MOST DON'T. I was kicking ass when I was 13 years old, also. Shit, I grew up with a kick ass player who was singing like Robert Plant and playing guitar like Jimi Page. He was in the 7th grade (Age 11). THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF SUPER YOUNG musicians out there.

  • and your point is what?

  • I want to do terrible things to this girl, and take lessons from her, too! What a badass.

  • She is as beautiful as she sounds

  • I LOVE THIS!

  • Tal is the new joco

  • @dbt07 "Jaco". And she's good, amazing even, but she won't be revolutionizing music anytime soon, I don't think. She does sound kinda like Jaco, though.

  • I love this track, Tal is a wonderful up and coming bass player in jazz fusion.

  • > "Tal is a wonderful up and coming bass player"

    I've heard people describe Tal as "up and coming" for about four years now. She's 24 years old, at what point will she have arrived?!!!! Lol

  • good point! if she was a 'he' she would already be in the 'guitar God' status! but a woman?..well, you know, she's getting there...LOL!

  • lies. there are many great bass players out there that no one has ever heard of. The fact that she's a girl and that she's young and cute is the reason she's almost famous

  • 'lies'?!!! you need to understand the difference between someone stating something they know is a falshood and expressing an opinion that can be argued on. I gave an opinion in a throw away comment to another person on here and you come back with 'lie'?! FU

  • Felix Unger?

  • possibly ; )

  • @xp0ferens Totally agree!

  • Agree...playing with the likes of Jeff Beck and Keith Carlock (one of Steely Dan's go-to drummers) I'd say SHE'S ARRIVED!

  • @BullToTheShit

    yea, she's already here...has been for awhile...shes awesome

  • She is a remarkably talented young woman. I saw her at the Fillmore last April with Beck and will see her again at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 19 when Clapton and Beck perform again.

  • She sounds like she's been playing for 30 years .

  • @skink5150 in terms of hours, she probably has been.

  • Perhaps 909 ben or what ever you call yourself. But when was the last time people cared to watch you the same way they enjoy watching a young brilliant artist thrive like Tal... Hmmmmm....I thought covers were just a standard portion of everyones reporte'....dink.

  • wow, who wrote this song? Who writes most of the stuff she plays?

    such a treat.

  • if this is on her cd, then she wrote it lol.

  • lots of people do covers...

  • that is true.

    i have no idea, maybe just search the song name and see if you can find the real artist

  • Somebody explain to me the time signatures going on here....... great stuff.
