This young man has it all, a great feel, time, great solo ideas. Always in tune, has total command of the instrument. Bravo!!! Bob Sachs - professional bassist in Las Vegas

[@TautologyTechSystems]

Great tone, great intonation, great playing. Jealous. Back to practicing.

[@doyouliekbass36]

Not only is this ridiculously good, but Mike Clark!! Man, this is awesome.

[@jantoreeriksen]

His pitch are maybe the most perfect one I've ever heard on doublebass before. Good luck in life, Daryl

[@JoaoPaulo-mn3kc]

Muito lindo, parabéns!!! Emocionante!!

[@bustabass9025]

When I was in eleventh grade I played trombone. The band director wanted me to switch to double bass. Told him to forget it. Fifty years later, and I'm trying to learn to play the double bass. Who knew?😕

[@TheRealNewBlackMusic]

OMG this kid looks like me when i was playing my brand x fender precision copy that i bought from the pawn shop in 1974. man it's uncanny. he's way better than i was though. this kid is amazing. makes me proud!

[@5magilla]

I refuse to believe that he's in the 11th grade

[@ziruini5071]

This is some good music

[@jackhanan2872]

Excellent!!

[@michaelmcdonald3057]

If I had not watched the video I would have sworn I was listening to Eddy Gomez! Excellent performance! I hope after ten years you are still at it!

good stuff dude!

[@teelurizzo8542]

Damn, all tunes great, but really impressed by the last two the Shearing tune, that's a difficult head at that tempo and the Monk ballad at the end was really amazing the maturity in the soloing, plus in all track the great intonation, clarity and time feel.

[@stevejohns1135]

Thanks Tee That’s my son Daryl He’s been playing Conception for years He’s now on Immanuel Wilkins two CD’s

[@teelurizzo8542]

@@stevejohns1135 Thanks for the reply I'm gonna check it out, all the best.

[@m4x358]

Hi Steve. I became acquainted with Daryl by listening to Immanuel Wilkins and became a total fan! Discovering all this earlier stuff is a delight. As a young musician I cannot help but be inspired by his music.

[@bassliner50]

Yes indeed!

[@qthemusiccc]

I was not expecting mike clark actually to be there

[@Chris-kr3vz]

Nice !!!!

[@jaredislversteindrums]

yeah daryl, #swag

[@cnrbsmth]

Guys intonation is crazy good

[@hahabass]

And he knows not to do too much. Check out the way he ends Reflections. You can see him think about one last note or flourish and stops, and thinks better of it. Less is more!

[@basschannel8685]

Tru' bass. So good!

[@kenkim1441]

What brand is ur necklace?

[@RC_Cola2020]

Damn that old dude can sure play funky drums

[@christopherevans8732]

He’s the drummer…. Off of the album that tune is from, “thrust” by Herbie, mike Clark is one of the innovators of linear drumming. Do a deep dive on mike Clark and Paul Jackson, thank me later

[@cesarvivas3253]

I clicked on this video and when it started i said to myself, "who is this scrawny little kid? Can he hold a double bass?" Here I am, blown away. Im impressed as hell, son. I look forward to hearing where you go from here.

[@jd5683]

Yep. Give out personal info on youtube. I haven't heard that good of an idea since lawn darts.

[@danielbarrios3028]

He's auditioning for the Grammy Jazz Band. They make you give all of your info in the description and in the video so they can contact you if you got in

Daryl grew up kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4PKe5-Po9F9ea8

[@FahadBrunei]

is there a particular genre of this jazz? like with the bass and piano?

[@MrOhWhatTheHeck]

It's normally called a jazz duo, but this could refer to players improvising on any other two instruments. don't think that there is a term used exclusively for double bass and piano jazz.

[@lowtone9]

It's not a genre, just a format and a very common one, the piano trio. Don't forget the drummer!

[@Funmodescondidas]

its a trio the genre is like a bebop

Hi Itravail, Daryl is on one of New York Times 2022 Best Jazz Recording with Immanuel Wilkens Blue Note release 7th Hand and recently has been performing with Indie Rock Star Mac Demarco

[@ltravail]

@@stevejohns1135 Thanks for the reply. Shortly after wondering what the precocious kid is up to now, more recent videos started popping up in my YT feed. Thanks again for the update. I take it that he's related to you and that you're rightfully proud of the young man.

[@thinkbigize]

This kid is extremely good, but you can't really hear him! Need more mic on the bass.

[@klausmelem]

Fantastic Playing on Upright Bass and also on electric Bass. Gold in Olympic but not one bar that goes to my heart.

[@ELBassodegrande]

Very nice playing. Could have used more volume or be real nasty and beat your pianist and drummer into submission to playing softer. It can be done but you won't win any long lasting friendships. Best wishes.

[@ELBassodegrande]

Addendumb: When I said you needed more volume I was listening through the computer speaker - wrong. I casted the video through my TV and home stereo and the volume was fine, perfectly attuned to the double bass. You have long fingers, long arms and are tall - all you need to play fine double bass and you play fine, as do the pianist and drummer - fine work fellows. I had forgotten about that George Shearing tune -- I'll put that in my tune list. Shearing doesn't get the praise he deserves from jazzers sometimes.
