  • Yeah, everyone talks during the bass solo... even the bassist.

  • Wow! I can't tell if you failed at succeeding, or succeeded at failing. But I love it. Great stuff!

  • i just wish we weren't always hoved to the side. we're like the rejects. damn violins think they're so much better

  • that was awesome.

  • @ZappaFan101 - The whole thing is written out until the last minute or so, where the speech is completely improvised. Saw a score of this in comp. class. Totally awesome.

  • What a badass

  • Loved it!

  • Where can I get this music?

  • FAIL

    Wait...

  • Excellent playing - the sound is great. I play bass as well, but it's an electric. The tone these double basses sound so warm and inviting. I gotta get me one...

    Please forgive me, I'm kind of lost about this piece. Is he reading sheet music and reciting a speech at the same time? Or is he reading both the music and the speech at the same time while he is playing? This is a concept I never would have thought of. Very Interesting approach to composition.

  • This was super!
