Victor Wooten - Isn't She Lovely?

Music by Stevie Wonder

Recorded at the Northridge Library on January 23, 2010.

Victor Wooten undertook a four day "Library Tour" in Los Angeles. Three of the four stops were in the San Fernando Valley. He performed, spoke about his musical development and philosophy, answered questions and signed copies of his excellent book "The Music Lesson: A Spiritual Search for Growth through Music."

Victor demonstrates looping and how by playing the "wrong" notes musically, they cease being so wrong. Excellent lesson for all artists.

During this mini tour Victor seemed to avoid the slapping and popping that he is widely associated with, instead he focused on melody, groove and outside notes.

The event was sponsored by The Los Angeles Music Network. www.LAMN.com

So so good. Wooten is a magician.

@gastonfg

It is funny you say that, every time I have seen his full show, he has ended with a magic trick. It is true. It is just part of his charm. Sometimes he will make his bass levitate, other times he'll create a tiny flash explosion. It is cute actually.

[ateliwtos]

@gastonfg to be honest wooten is at least 2 magicians at the same time...Hope I can play the 20% of the things he plays one day...
