195. Bill Cantos / World on a String

[@disciple0347]

I am once again blown away by the voice of our king Bill Cantos. However, I miss seeing his face. It truly saddens me and takes away from the moment...

[@disciple022]

I oftentimes will commit to drawing his face three hundred times when I miss him, try this practice and see if that helps for your video watching without his face to mesmerize you.

[@disciple0168]

What I do is taped the image of BILL CANTOS’s beautiful face on half of my device screen. It really helps. I also set my TV to project the LED image of BILL when it goes to sleep mode. I also have his face on my bedroom ceiling and every mirror that I own.

[@disciple0347]

If Bill has the world on a string, then LET ME BE THAT WORLD FOR YOU, Bill. please.

[@disciple022]

OWN ME BILL

[@disciple0168]

BILL. HOLD ME LIKE YOU HOLD YOUR WORLD. Bill.

[@disciple022]

BILL CANTOS holds my world not by a string but a chain of judgment and power. His KINGSHIP and divine right to rule and jam motivate me to reconfigure the essence of my being into his desired image. May we all be blinded in his glory and follow him without question. The world is his. We are the world. BILL CANTOS rules us all. #supremepowertoKBC

[@disciple0168]

Bill Cantos can make a weak and feeble string hold the biggest, heaviest material in this world. I hope that thy humble servant, Disciple 01, a feeble, weak, frail, single strand of string can meet Bill Cantos himself in person and hope that he can miraculously transform me to be able to carry the weight of my life.

[@jjboogie1]

Bill Cantos is a phenomenal musician. Absolutely phenomenal. Go see him live when you can when he's out with Herb Alpert or playing locally in LA.

[@janiscorsair8446]

Bill Cantos is one of the most talented musicians I know. Thank you for posting this.

[@disciple0168]

JANIS! I never thought I would see you here. BILL CANTOS is truly KING!

[@timothyhibarger2568]

[@andyredding9381]

Just that special something when a jazz trio is killing it. Thanks for this!

[@boomerbassmeme]

Oh helll yesssssssssssssssssss! Loved it! Walk that bass Lee! Get it!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Kurtis-Schubert]

Nice bonus today. I only knew Bill as Herb Alpert's piano player!

[@billbernardi7819]

Michael Shapiro is also in Herb's band. Bill did a really cool album a few years ago called "Love Wins".

[@richardramirez3633]

Leeland you are amazing, you tore it up dude!! I had the good fortune to meet Bill back in 2010 when he worked on a christian recording project with me. He & his beautiful wife Mari are both super talented musicians and the sweetest people you'd ever meet... the real deal!!!!!!!!!

[@chrisjelen9625]

What a damn nice surprise...from Dolly to jazz.

[@aggeeriksson]

In Sweden we say ”hatten av” = hats of. It sounds great and it swings👍👍👍👍👍

[@marczellm]

Love hearing you play a jazz thing!

[@roadlizardcu8664]

What a treat! And toe tickling jazz! Can't live like that... liked that little acknowledgement. Thank you for an upbeat tune to end the day... maybe. Lol

[@mrbassslap8930]

Yes, Papa Lee's always sumthin' tasty for the crowd ;) Thanks, Leland! SWAG: that MUG ..... is THAT your piccolo bass? Stay safe

[@WDXash]

These numbers are like little golden nuggets. Real music.

[@romulusremus7537]

Man, that bass Locomotes!!!!!! Damn! That is badass!

[@patriciaburke2401]

Amazing how many extremely talented artists I’ve never heard! Thanks so much for waking me up!!! Take care & God bless.🌹

[@splashesin8]

Thank you❣️ 😃

[@colinness375]

Excellent, Lee :-) Thank you. Piano, bass and drums. Perfect. Lovely walking bass line.

[@steveseim]

The drumming on this is fantastic.

[@dougsamskin7639]

Love how you share such amazing music with us.

[@anthonycook4297]

Just very cool! Jazzin’ it up, Lee. Nice walking baseline runs👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@johnkenna2195]

Excellent!

[@paulafranceschi]

What fun!

[@chasvox2]

Fantastic. I've known Bill for years. Not surprised at all. But WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!!! POWPOWOWOWOWOWOWOWPPPPPPPOW!!!!

[@nicklocicero3974]

Love the standards. I grew up listening to WNEW-AM in NYC, plus my Dad was a HUGE Sinatra fan. It was always a kick at work when my older co-workers would play these songs and I would sing along. They were shocked that the young guy not only knew the lyrics but also the arrangements. Great song, I loved the walking bass lines, I never learned to do that.

[@9martinitime9]

WOW, That was very tasty. Thanks again for sharing. I can never get enough of that stuff.

[@roncastro7195]

Very fun....thanks

[@sharonsislockwall]

Oh LEE! This is absolutely delightful! Man... I LOVE WALKING BASS. Cool to hear you play this style!!

[@jimduncan6478]

Yowzir! My left hand cramped up just listening to the bass line. Thank you.

[@joeabraham878]

That was so good the head of the animal on the window sill was bobbing side to side.

[@kennonmoen4424]

What an emotional roller coaster; Dolly then this!

[@cookscatapults]

Super Awesomeness.......Thanks Again for the Magic

[@PlasticFantasticnz]

Holy cow!! thanks so much for that Leland... its been a long day in the sweeper truck... 5pm Tuesday afternoon... and that has given me a real zing... Nice way to finish the day. I admire how you share all these wonderful artists with us, My Vinyl collection looks a whole lot more refined and eclectic now than before I found your channel. Now to find a recording of Walter Murphys arrangement of "When you wish upon a star" ;-) Have a great day mate. Cliff

[@matermangros]

Love it!...

[@michaelserafino5303]

Another side of YOU Lee! Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.

[@WarwickJaensch]

Great song, toe tapping that's for sure! Thanks for sharing!

[@susanjordan3291]

Thanks for sharing your life stories.

[@themusiccompanyllc6477]

Thanks!!!

[@TheShakyArtist]

Man, feel free to throw more like this at us. You seem to be at home no matter the genre. All the musicians were fantastic. Man, that walking bass! I'm gob-smacked!

[@DaveArmijo]

What an uplifting song! Cool chops! I can picture you walking the boys to this bass line every morning.

[@brentonpaterson7047]

Dig it baby. Is that an upright Leland? How good is jazz piano. You should listen to our Aussie James Morrison playing piano. Pure joy. Thankyou

[@waf3I]

Amazing !

[@kabir7864]

Love your walking, Lee ! Power & swing combined :) What a talented singer / pianist, thanks for the « another taste of the day », really enjoyed it. Wish you the very best !

[@jdavis417]

I feel the dancin' feet commin' on!!!

[@johndczerwinski]

I think this is one of my favorite videos!

[@eaglerayrob]

That was fantastic!! You can feel the groove and energy of everybody live in the room. Engineers did a great job of capturing that moment. In years past when my work would take me to SoCal I used to frequent a Jazz club in Glendale CA called JAX on Brand Blvd. I heard some fantastic musicians play there. This track took me back, looking forward to live music again.

[@JimFothergill]

Haha!!!! Walk-in the bass on a jazz tune!!!! I was waiting for it! No surprise you couldn’t do it, just wanted to hear you do one. Thanks!!!

[@vhm14u2c]

Wow, that’s some complex moving bass, whole song is ‘happening’💕

[@user-kb5gw4kt1z]

That is sooooo badass. Good surprises are the best. Was not expecting anything like that. One take. Unfreakin' believable. Bass was grooving'. Frankenbadass. Great phrasing x 3. Make that four. If you weren't moving to that song, your dead.

[@randyedward1]

Okay, the bass is clearly the most elaborate musical part of this recording, and Lee is all over it...as usual!!

[@ronaldleblanc1511]

I'm Speechless!

[@aminegaming3718]

This is cool mr Leland sklar play jazz

[@artemisXsidecross]

Thank you for this inclusion, on your previous video, I remarked on how Woodie Guthrie and others began my music quest, but before that I was influenced by jazz in my household by such greats as Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Charles Mingus and many more. Music is such a rich field to engage. :)

[@David-pc8ps]

Whoa! Albert is gonna have fun with this one! 😎

[@mrbassslap8930]

Hahaaa poor Albert. :-) No, people like him doing this great job just are amazing!

[@johnpegg6771]

Jazz Club............................ Nice!!!

[@slipperynoodle20]

Too cool for school, man. Throw down more of that anytime!

[@mrbassslap8930]

Agreed

[@kennonmoen4424]

Tom Gorsuch, I’ll second that emotion!

[@vaccarioou22]

Stunning :-) Bill Cantos Bel Canto !

[@dbassman27]

Cool Lee.

[@theCheesemonger]

Wow killer walking lines and feel!

[@steveslate3601]

Sure love to you playing this Lee!! This is Great!!

[@sterlingbeeaff710]

Fantastic! I'll be looking for Albert Anguelo Roselle's notation of THAT part. Thanks so much, you're helping bring a bit of magic to these difficult times.

[@paulwhite8545]

Brilliant love it, great voice

[@royretief2734]

That was brilliant thank you Lee, Frankenstein sounded outstanding (thought you were playing an upright for a moment there) !! Listened to the track three times in succession, made my day. 🙏🏻 Stay safe & much love 🇿🇦

[@sundet81]

Bill Cantos is a total genius. Saw him playing live in Europe with Jay Graydon in the 1990s, along with Joseph Williams, Steve Porcaro, Bill Champlin, Pat Mastelotto, Jay Oliver and several others. Incredible band, but Bill Cantos was a real star.

[@disciple0168]

My friend, you have witnessed the KING HIMSELF BILL CANTOS. He is meant to be the ruler of all mankind.

[@hairnsap]

Nice treatment Leland ! Never heard it like that and I'm digging it 👍

[@philmusgrave3274]

Hoping to see Bill Cantos next year at Ronnie Scott's with the legendary Herb and Lani Alpert. Please Pandemic go away by then for all the entertaining live industry, as l was meant to see them this year in June 2020.

[@chriswalker5979]

Thank you for this little extra. That was wonderful. His piano and vocal styles really remind me of Jamie Cullum, and makes me wonder if he was one of Jamie's influences. Also, love your touch on this one. You've made Frankenstein almost sound like an upright!

[@salcostanza6798]

That was sweet Thank you.

[@wagnerribeirodesantana1651]

Bill Cantos play the piano very well! 🎶🎧

[@47heritage]

[@jamesstenhouse4113]

That was Awesome !!

[@johndaintree]

Love Bill.

[@pamr4040]

Love, love, love this!! My parents had the album, "This Is Sinatra", where I first heard this song back in my youth. This is a wonderful arrangement and a joy to listen to (as well as a plus, knowing who the bass player was!)! Thank you so much for sharing it with us! 🧡

[@robertiles6756]

That was great - I'm still feeling uplifted by it, thank you Lee. Did anyone else notice the nodding dog on the windowsill grooving along in time with the music?

[@wt460]

This is really cool! Beautiful song, great jazz instrumentals (especially the bassist), and a very uplifting fun beat... Leland you just have an incredible range, it is truly amazing! I just love it!

[@philipcacayorin]

Playin' your ass off ! Awesome.

[@mikehudsonrocks9585]

Honkin'! Thanks for this, Lee!

[@LEB52]

Thank you for that little extra swing.

[@oldarchillies163]

Nice... just nice.

[@jimfort9183]

Everyone else is saying it, so I'll just add: Dayum, you can do it all, bruh 😎 One of my favorite songs, too
