Herbie Hancock & Tal Wilkenfeld - Chameleon - Montreux Jazz Festival 2010

[@grod75]

It's great what Tal Wilkenfeld is accomplishing in her music career, being still so young... Playing with some of the greatest musicians alive, like Herbie Hancock or Jeff Beck, is such a great deal... =)

[@bobgiguere2537]

I love the way Herbie Hancock lets her do her thing and I think he enjoyed it as much as she did. This was fun to watch

[@OZRIC1985]

I can't believe that Herbie is like 70 years old here and he looks at least 20 years younger than his age! It's so cool to see the awesome Tal Wilkenfeld playing with him.

[@kennyl2419]

I honestly can't remember a time of being this happy. Thanks.

[@guitarfan01]

Chameleon is one of my favorite grooves of all time. Had not thought of Herbie as a keytar guy.

[@ericboreen4040]

I love watching players have so much fun on stage. Helps the music come alive, it's great.

[@richardprince5758]

Simply Love it When someone Finds Their Bliss,and She has Found it,some people go their Whole Life and NOT Find it,This Lady is Freekin' AWESOME

[@teenaphelps2187]

Happy 82nd Birth-Date today to Mr. Herbie Hancock. Congratulations, and continued Good blessings to you. 🎼🎵🎶🎹🎤🎸🎷🎺🎻🕴️💃😀💞

[@Keithlfpieterse]

Thanks for the upload. The "dialogue" between Herbie and Tal....pricelesss!!!!

[@SuperLuckao]

Yes. Seen her with Beck. Herbie is more her style I think. She's stronger here. Seems weak with Beck, to me

[@Keithlfpieterse]

@@SuperLuckao : Thanks for your response. I tend to agree. During the Crossroads 2010 gig Beck gave her a reprimanding glimpse on one or two occasions. Keep well and enjoy the GOOD music!

[@vistvan62]

-I've almost fallen down of the chair, what a talented musicians and Tal so young and pretty :)

[@duchgo]

i found myself wanting herbie to put a cork in it so I could hear Tel more clearly!!! Good job Tel-I hope I can hear you live 1 day if you ever come to KC!!!

[@Fraeg]

Tal and Vinnie are always a joy to hear. Well Herbie is no slouch, but man just been following random Vinnie and Tal vids, and those two just blow my mind

[@Thundergod-]

+Fraeg Have you checked out Tal and Vinnie with Jeff Beck? 2007 Crossroads Guitar Festival I think. EPIC !!!!

[@RKL1958]

The most renown jazz musician alive today with some of the foremost musicians available. Good choices, Herbie!

[@mikeshrader8651]

Oh yes...Tai is awesome as usual...One of the best I've seen.

[@Countachockula]

Jeez, she has played with all the greats. What an amazing career for such a young person.

[@PersonNatalieMusic]

Funky classic with the talented Ms. Wilkenfeld!

[@washingtondigital6208]

If you needed any proof that Tal Wilenfeld is a musician's musician here it is ! Playing with Jazz great Herbie Hancock .... And just enjoying herself !

[@jasonology]

This was so cool I am literally crying.

[@ulusot]

She is wonderful on stage :-) made me warm inside and smile :-)

[@robmanic44]

We should be happy when any great artist appears on the scene!

[@Aztec1011]

Fantastic, the groove is awesome.

[@BMWHP2]

Thanks for the upload AND for the performance. I probably had as big a smile as you all had playing :) ,

[@gregoryweaver37]

tal is the BOMB she has the funk to be here for them as well as anyone she is the best!!!!!

[@tjmanson]

Thanks shfan42. Tal is The Bomb! Watching her play with Beck at Ronnie Scott's and here with Herbie you realise just how incredibly versatile and technically gifted she is. The review from the Ronnie Scott gigs said she had 'Jaco Pastorius-like melodic invention and mastery of odd meters', and that her solo on Lovers was a 'masterclass of taste, lyricism and feeling.' Her sense of fun can be found on the Macy Gray track 'That Man', and she's genius on Ritenour's album '6 String Theory'.

[@He4venlyBody]

I just luv her! So engaging ..& Herbie's legend, so, yeah

[@lensdarkly]

great stuff, Herbie Hancock, Tal Wilkenfeld & Vinnie Colliutta, 3 of my favourite musos. Tal is the bassist of choice for Jeff Beck, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, not to mention her own band. Vinnie is a great drummer. This clip has some of the best musos in the world, dunno what you whingers are whining about, this is the best there is.

[@graverobber13]

Tal is so sweet adjusting his earbuds. Nice. Great talent here Zappa allumni on drums...

[@crlguitar1]

She just gets better and better every video I clip I watch..... She gets cuter and cuter too!! What a talent!

[@davec7759]

She really is a massive talent, and you're right, she does get cuter every time you see her..

[@malawri6710]

so cute indeed.looks like a little princesse.

[@larspallesen3627]

That's one talented girl, that Tal Wilkenfelt! Impressed.

[@RedVynil]

Cool! She turned up! NOW I can hear her!!

[@AlexandervonGimbut]

I enjoyed that. Almost 600K views, but only 1,523 likes and ??? 41 who did not like it?? Some of the comments below get even worse?? ...oh well; love and tolerance - right? Thank you for posting this @shfan42

[@donlawler9510]

A real fun jam to listen to and watch

[@robertramjam913]

Little girl helping Herbie with his ear piece..who has played with legends like Miles. Tal is awsome

[@whiteguard56]

Saw her with Jeff Beck at Crossroads in Chicago (2007, I think). I was impressed, and my 19 year old (Berklee student) son had to be restrained!

[@donepearce]

Didn't make a minute before I was bored. Her work with Jeff Beck beats this by a mile.

[@moinlabs]

It's sooo nice to hear a bass player playing Chamaeleon and NOT slap...;)

[@AndrewFordMusic]

Well if you are talking about the guy in the video it is Greg Phillinganes who after playing on everybodies record from Michael Jackson to Stevie Wonder to Eric Clapton has spent a lot of time comping for the best and not intimidated at all. I am sure Herbie felt privileged to have him on stage

[@chrisstrobel3439]

I'm diggin that huge Fazioli concert grand in the background ...... THATS where HH belongs

[@robertsuliga9909]

le talent , rien que le talent , un grand merci

[@jlucguitar]

Salut Herbie un plaisir de t'écouiter et en plus elle s'amuse la musique est belle ainsi que la vie avec de la musique et de la musique

[@mondodave]

Love the way she tries to adjust his thingy there... very sweet...

[@dankay2136]

I think I'm in love (again) with Tal!

[@samuelcantley5500]

Love the groove

[@drumsNstuff79]

Tal is incredible! Nice stuff..

[@pineroast]

Herbie is the man!

[@arvt1989]

buen Lunes y aparece la hermosisisma tal wikenfeld

[@solomonfaber8026]

She's not a girl. She's a woman. Respect!

[@collumww]

Talk about in the groove!

[@vonkoopa_bomb8257]

"SIMPLESMENTE A MELHOR BAIXISTA DO MUNDO'' (FEMEÁ)

[@JoeSzilagy]

Along from all that talent onstage, I also love Tal's facial expressions and that fantastic head of hair. Looks even cuter with a bit of eye makeup this time. Damned sweet! Sorry, back to the music!

[@fastone56]

Not only on stage but kickin ass

[@tortillabass]

I just fell in love.

[@MrMftech]

Groovy Tal !

[@rafaszyjer]

kocham ją i już.

[@sosmooth7]

@wowoikowski,thanks for the reply. I wasn't in any saying that Tal Wakenfield wasn't a good bass player,because she is. I was just saying that in the pool of femaled bass players,she isn't quite at the top,yet. but she's getting there.

[@MrPrytania1]

Herbie Hancock was 23 when he joined Miles Davis. That is the way with the greats.

[@germanRael]

TAL is really great !

[@BassmrDK]

I LOVE TAL

[@Josinhalyu]

Maravilhosoooo!!!

[@sosmooth7]

@The lookoutslookout,good comment! Thanks!

[@Chatorisa]

You gotta love Tal.

[@lorenzmuller3542]

VINNIE! I love you, man!

[@brentholman168]

I've died...& gone to heaven,....again...

[@brentholman168]

One of the best bass musicians ever...Bootsy, look out!

[@RundFyrkant]

5:00 wow this is my favorite part. Herbie just knockin it out of the park showin how its dunn. Tal was also good tho

[@WeakenedPIgeon6]

This is a prime example of how music is simultaneously ageless, gender less, and race less, and it is AWESOME!

[@virgult]

@jlebesis Tal is not only a girl, but she's surprisingly young, yet she has a very mature approach to improvisation and songwriting. I've seen really few bass players with her control over the notes.

[@zenbooter]

a bright moment

[@VMiki93]

-I can't understand, that Hanckok 71 years old. Miracle...

[@enkita8234]

With Lionel Loueke on guitar wow

[@KevinJoy7]

@Zappafan1980 She has her own CD's out. Don't know how many though.

[@ngonsainti]

Someone below actually called Herbie Hancock "that colored man" !!! Incredible !

[@Digooification]

Let's Groove of Tal Winkenfeld

[@rmorrone3]

GROOVE.

[@wdchefdave56]

@RKL1958 Absolutely! Stanley Clark and such.

[@kenwillis4998]

Wow dude!

[@biggdadifrank]

To Chickenmanstan music isn't always about peaks or valleys.Anyone can go and do vocal or musical histrionics, sometimes's it's about the groove and Tal is grooving.

[@410bassman]

@Boylefawsitt, you're right. I think it's because the studio original featured a synth bass, not a bass guitar, and the synth sound of the melody in the studio version was thicker, fuller. So the tone of the original contrasting lines was closer than here, where Tal's line doesn't have the "presence" of the studio synth bass and Hancock's keyboard is almost toylike in tone. Big gap between the two tone-wise, so the aural funkiness that carried the rather pedestrian composition is virtually gone.

[@963franci]

WOW!

[@olddudeaustin]

Very good.

[@collumww]

Exactly. People who aren't very very good don't make it past the audition, let alone get invited to play, with the likes of Hancock, Beck, Colaiuta, etc. She's the real deal. In spades.

[@duanecarter7822]

The best

[@adesyarainnabila]

She's great .... Esp. Spalding i luv 2 .......

[@LHondrums]

@drnubian seriously i don't think that vinnie was booked for any other group but herbie hancock at the montreux jazz festival!

[@cjk9013]

@RKL1958 Could be. Hope so. I love her playing.

[@Vyttorio747]

is it Vinnie Colaitta on Drums ? What great line up !!!!!! Thanks MEN . you Have Any more of this ?

[@spanky8473]

Awesome! Do chocolate rain next!

[@alexfattoruso]

Yowza! Vinnie made it all the way to 5:36 before yawning! HERO!

[@drangus3468]

I love that stank bass face is just a universal thing

[@traditionalswiss]

Chameleon reinvented!

[@narutofiles]

She's Got It. Probably one of the best female bassists on the planet.

[@ChristopherGabriel]

Vinnie in the first 5 minutes reminds me of The STIG while racing against VIPs and rookies.

[@23Brettski]

This is more a Tal video than Herbie's...chill out all you haters! Awesome song and performance, no?

[@janinestuart1268]

Immensely gifted child........was she born the day Jaco died?

[@jeronimoverdun]

Dios salve a Collaiuta!!!!

[@sandinikt]

That chic is great!

[@WetSkin6]

"angel bass!"

[@zooby11isbambam]

200,000TH VIEW!!!! WHAT!!!

[@dojomania]

I"m disappointed Herbie didn't do the second part of the tune, that's got tons of jazz in it.

[@GlennMoran]

Jazz hazz Tal's rhythm & soul mama
