"Cause we've ended as lovers" was composed by Stevie Wonder and released in 1974 on ex-wife album "Stevie Wonder presents Syreeta" (Motown). The song was covered by Jeff Beck as an instrumental version (dedicated to guitarist Roy Buchanan and thanks to Stevie) on his album "Blow by Blow" (Epic Records) recorded in October 1974 and released in 1975. It is said that Stevie gave this song to Jeff because of "Superstition" which was co-written with and for Beck in 1972: after finishing the song, Wonder decided that he would allow Beck to release his version of the song first. At last, "Superstition" was released first by Stevie in 1972 as the "Talking Book" album lead single.

[@louisaccardi6808]

Now this whole group is tight and responsive to each other. Amazing arrangement of this song. The drummer was very sensitive and used excellent sound dynamics as well as the keyboard musician. Each member of this group is a great player as an individual, but more importantly was how they allowed breathing room for each other and for the song itself. They were so relaxed and just let it flow out. Wow, amazing how it all flowed together.

[@glen7695]

Everybody here is locked in to the overall groove and feel. Sensitive playing throughout. The drummer's brush work is beautiful; nice shift to sticks as the intensity grows. The bass player's solo development is very musical. The piano player creates nice textures and adds very interesting rhythmic tension when he has his space. Tom Ibarra is very melodic as usual. He blends long note phrases with dense lines; by doing so he creates a memorable solo. Where do you buy the CD/MP3/ album?

I am so glad I hung in there,... Wow! Tom has amazing technique and dynamics! My heart was breaking seeing him changing a string prior to the song,... for any of you that have played out live, there is nothing worse than that feeling... good grief! He introduced the song with such precision. Holy, Bass Solo! Great video to have on KZbin!

[@p6x2]

I am a "B" series guitar player, but I always have two guitars at my gigs; just in case I break a string, as I know the audience will have very little patience with interruptions. Not withstanding the owner of the place telling us that we will not be welcome a next time. Such is life... but I believe Tom Ibarra could leave for a bathroom break in the middle of a solo without having anybody getting irate.

[@bcummings2187]

Listen .....my heart breaks not at all ....because this is one of the best versions of this song......ever. He was meant to have broken that string.

[@JamieLebish]

Thanks you guys! This is a wonderful rendition-Great playing and tasteful. Keep it up!

[@smoothjazzprojectdominique7875]

Très belle version de cet titre d'une énorme sensualité à mon sens, avec un solo de basse puis de guitare magnifiques, super mis en valeur par le batteur vraiment top! J'adore ce quartet de Tom.

[@ricktangora9413]

Actually, this tune takes some finesse to weave through while trying to do something different since it’s been done to death. Especially considering his age, he had some good ideas and sometimes bit off more than he could chew. Besides, when improvising you know that there are times when magic happens and you do something really great, then the next time you play you wonder if you’re ever going to play anything decent again. At least that’s been my experience.

[@kuleebaba9014]

"..bit off more than he could chew." Really? Which part actually?

[@rockers2rockers616]

It's amusing that people obviously know a little about bass to make the comment that Bassist Romain Labaye isn't playing fretless even though your ears say he is. I'm not sure but I think Jaco Pastorius was the first to remove the frets from his bass and fill the slots with an epoxy. The rest is music history really. Great sounding band BTW.

[@keesketsers5866]

Before the electric bass, there was allready the classical standing (fretless) bass.....used in jazz alot.

[@PeterCaudwell]

I was just about to say 'bass player stole the show' and then at 10 minutes fireworks started. This is the first time I've heard Tom. It sounds like there's a Bireli Lagrene influence in his playing. Un chef-d'oeuvre, Merci beaucoup.

Ibarra is from the South West of France. I am guessing, from the name, that he is of Basque origin.

Quelle belle basse pour commencer. Le piano, j'laurais aimé plus Rhodes et swing, c'est juste mon gout. Belle sensibilité et proximité de son et d'esprit de Pat dans cette reprise par Tom. J'ai beaucoup aimé ta partie. Quelle belle basse ensuite où j'aurais attendu des nappes blanches, mais bon, c'est juste mon gout. Le 2ème chorus de Tom, s'écarte de l'esprit de la compo originelle mais pourquoi pas. Il y a de bonnes variations d'attaque mais trop de notes non ? Ensuite je suis perdu. Pour finir on se raccroche au train et ça va mieux à mon gout. J'ai bien aimé. Merci les gars.

Boxif atomique : même pas 600 vues... Jouer ça derrière Jeff Beck et avec ce feeling, c'est juste prodigieux. J'ai du écouter l'original de Blow By Blow quelques milliards de fois et si on m'avait dit qu'un "gamin" pouvait s'y coller avec une telle musicalité, je ne l'aurais pas cru. Je n'ai pas vu et entendu un jeune guitariste aussi talentueux depuis que Bireli cotoyait Jaco : Tom Ibarra sera immense, vous pouvez me croire...

[@laurentrosemain1699]

Je partage complètement ton avis, c'est prodigieux, il y a tout: le son, le lyrisme, la technique, le feeling, l'interplay avec des musiciens du même niveau, une vrai humilité surtout chez Tom, c'est un très grand... Depuis le début je ne comprends pas que personne n'ouvre vraiment les yeux, je partage, je vais le voir quand il passe sur Paris mais cela suffira t-il à ce qu'il décolle avant d'être découragé ? On a envie de lui dire: "Barre toi fils, va jammer à N.Y.C., tu as finalement tellement peu à perdre ici que ce ne sera pas négatif..."
