Bireli Lagrene Live in Paris Jaco time !

[@Carehuea]

BAAAAAAAAANG..... That's the sound of my jaw hitting the floor... I knew Bireli loved Jaco but this is unbelievable..

[@stackingswivel]

No question , Brireli can play better than most top tier bassists...a freaking monster....

[@mattfoley6082]

Unbelievable. He touches on several of Jaco's go-to riffs. How am I just discovering this today? Bireli is amazing.

[@pierreherve8189]

Bireli a tout digéré de Jaco. Le rythme, les ghost notes. C’est au dela du talent, c’est du pur génie. Merci bireli !

[@michaelmccowin298]

The quality of this awesome performance is a testament to how high Jaco set the bar. All he is doing is quoting Jaco in as many ways as he can think of and he never runs out of material...

[@pierreherve8189]

Bireli covers jaco than no one. He played with him one year ( i think) and because is his like a sponge he can ( because of his vituosity) reproduce the main licks of jaco. On the improvisation side he his from another planet. Most of the bass players can learn a lot him. Absolutely fantastic...

[@harrylado]

Remember Bireli toured with Jaco. Live in Italy is the cd. Super musicians.

[@Stephan_Blanc]

30 years ago now , this CD gave me the love for the electric bass !!

[@J3ffLebowski]

He's not "a guy", he's The Guy. Since '90 never stop to be surprised & excited listen at him. He can play Jaco.

[@MrMjp58]

I saw him live in early '85 - a gypsy jazz style guitar concert. During the interval, as I walked down a corridor in the theatre I glanced into an open doored room to see none other than Birelli staring back at me clutching an anonymous bass guitar on which he was performing technical marvels - as here, [unplugged]. That moment will stay with me forever.

[@JFmK-sh5nh]

This is officially an all time favorites video/performance now. What a fantastic tribute to Jaco from Bireli!!

[@runtheriver3670]

Man Jaco be proud of that! What a hommage

[@ChuloDavidcito]

Wow. That's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Bireli is a genius guitarist. So I'm watching this, having been attracted by Jaco's name, hearing his lines, sound, harmonics and groove, before slowly realizing that was Bireli playing that bass?? What will he do next? Maybe win the 100 meter dash in the Olympics? :-)

[@angelinelim5365]

Very brilliant with very high sounding quality, makes one's day totally mesmerized.

[@Barabasse31]

Un vrai tuerie, j'adore je crois que je vais arrêter la basse après ca!!!!!! Quelle claque....Bravo et encore bravo...et un grand merci....

[@nycgtr]

Simply amazing, playing music for Bireli is like breathing! To be that articulate and melodic on a fretless bass, not even his main instrument. What can't he do? Really inspiring on so many levels!

[@Earendil234]

He was definitely paying attention when he played with Jaco!

[@chungiemunchin]

Yeah.......this cat definitely knows Jaco.........I hear cats like these guys and I MISS JACO SO MUCH!

[@martin5780ify]

Belle hommage, merci pour cet instant magique. Bravissimo Bireli .

[@djfobtronics]

been a fan of bireli's guitar playing for a while, but man he is really showcasing the "spirit" of jaco's playing style here! nice!

[@FredPallemLeSacreduTympan]

incroyable! TOUS les plans de pastorius passés à la moulinettte!

[@AntonAmadeus]

Seeing as this guy played with jaco, he obviously knows what he's doing. He learnt the tricks of the trade... but to say he's actually a guitar player (and a bloody good one at that) ...well, this is just fucking awesome. He gets the treble(y), punchy, snappy notes perfectly. Absolutely brilliant!!

[@MrMjp58]

As well as all the other glorious attributes he makes such a clear and ringing sound.

[@LeeBarry]

He sounds more like Jaco than Jaco. At first I thought "that's a nice inlay fretless--I've never seen that one before. Then I realized "That's not Jaco!"

[@javierandresmesa]

Awesome!... pure flatwounds color... beautiful!

[@polkzoo]

This is a reflection of how deep his musical consciousness is that he can do Jaco playing like Jaco. To say he has woken up his musical mind is an understatement but that is what he has done. Once open he can take it anywhere he wants….to cool. His technique matches his musical mind and and he is an experiment in the universe.

[@heldersufiano2816]

we that love JACO..... ok it reminds jaco we know we can hear it is not JACO....THE SPIRIT IS NOT THERE even the tecnique does not equal match JACO,s ok he tried

[@melibass]

birelli jaco ehat else we want ????!!!!!this man is a genius this guy is THE MUSICIAN ¬¬!!!!!!11

[@paulpasmanian]

and for your information, Biréli is "not" a bass player...!!!!! he's one of the greatest manouche/gipsy guitar player

[@bernardroullet2939]

Nevertheless, he picks up and plays an electric bass guitar at 3'30'' and on...

[@joemacfern]

imagine if he played bass!!

[@aaaaanton1]

Would have made Jaco proud indeed!

[@melissuccia]

birelli est un GENIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sibeliusbass]

Já era fã desse cara como guitarrista, agora então...pirei! grande Bireli!

[@daddyfunk13]

he tears it up on guitar and bass no problem

[@helioabreu3]

Quel surdoué ce mec!

[@edgarboy69]

FREEDOM JAZZ DANCE!?!?!?! holy shit-best ending ever!

[@JTBasstronic]

+mats sawatsky Yes, sounds awsome

[@marcelo200863]

QUE ANIMAL!!!!!!!!!! IMPRESIONANTE!! TANKS

[@tauheke]

FILTHY I say... filthy music. Its now forever in my all time favourite.

[@melibass]

THE GUY IS A GENIUSSSSSSSSSS MY TWO FAV NO 3 AL DI MEOLA BIRELLI PASTORIUS TWO IN ONE NOWWWWWWWWWWWW

[@Ozoneum1]

Jaco got a better tone out of the bass. And he invented that style of playing. Still...hats off to this guy. No small feat to imitate Jaco that well.

[@GerrybobDillon]

Ah, it,s Bireli himself! Just twigged he`s a bass player too!! Awesome!

[@MethenySco]

This is just musical theatre, with Bireli starring in the lead role.

[@GypsyFly]

damn his killing it ,theyre good

[@andrus9000]

Beautiful!!!

[@GerrybobDillon]

I know that now , I am fairly new to his music; an incredible musician! no disrespect intended!

[@Coach49217]

Jaco is the greatest but it's safe to say Bireli is a better bass player than Jaco was a guitar player.

[@prestonparish]

get that man some roundwounds!

[@paparock22]

Far out !

[@asdi234]

Would’ve been nice to see him team with zawinul at some point..

[@javimiami92]

And Zappa.

[@sikkinixx75]

Heritage.

[@VictorD90]

great.

[@kddrdel7404]

Almost like jaco but, better:)

[@joemacfern]

3:32 Hey for god's sake keep playing there!!!

[@taglegar]

¡¡BIRELI GENIO!!

[@tellarjj]

So good so far !...

[@DarioCasatiBassista]

he plays as jaco wooow

[@mladenrankovic8403]

BRAVO......!!!!!!!

[@rogermichou8654]

Bireli channeling Jaco through third eye chakra

[@JAK0449]

Ahah great!!! You right. In fact I'm pretty sure Jaco had a over active third eye, open for sure! Too much intuition, connection, and was a spiritual guy as well. Most of so called "mental disorders" are in fact person who have superior Chakras very active in a society based on lower Chakras. I started bass 20 years ago and have a kundalini awakening for 2 years now. All those geniuses in music are very active on all Chakras, but a lot of them are in dis balance. Crown is too closed, by their ego, third eye too active, maybe open. To be a very great musician you must be in the now and in the inside. Every millisecond you go out of your inner side or out of the now you will at least play very medium way, at worst totally destroy and out of groove/tune /tempo... This is real man, Chakras are real, they are first glands in the material body, but it s all real. And before my kundalini I was intuitive bug not very spiritual and unaware of thus, Chakras etc.. But this kind of music is, among lot of other things, what helps me to have a consciousness awakening. I was friend with Ingrid Pastoriys and she always told me jaco was connected Niw I understand. You re joke was funny but may have some kind of truth behind. Jaco, like Bob Marley, where very aware of esoteric stuff

[@rogermichou8654]

​@@JAK0449 I agree with you with opened chakras correlated to music greatness. I'm pretty sure Both Hendrix and Zappa too had wide opened chakras. It's impossible to compose so many masterpieces without being connected to descent level spiritual world. Also it is obvious that a super genius improviser like Hendrix who made extremly groovy and inspired solos, was really connected to the other side. In total contrast we have guitar heroes like Vai who are great technicians and good composers but whose the music don't feed my soul (energy) 1 tenth zappa, jaco or hendrix for instance do.

[@flavioangelini861]

Who si the sax player?

[@traillezat]

steu claque!!! bordel de claque !!!

[@JTBasstronic]

BRAVISIMO!!!!!!!!

[@donpiano2]

played with and took lessons from Jaco

[@stanleisenring1449]

Freakin great, but as to what I see here, Rocco and Lenny Pickett from T.O.P. could equally hold their own pretty evenly, talent wise. Rocco is not quite there in some aspects, but Lenny is one sick sax player! I'd love to hear what drumming Dave G. could lay down in this piece!

[@gilouseb]

Freedom jazz dance (Eddie Harris).

[@redskin133]

not human

[@Tylervrooman]

wow......

[@bluezabec]

Ouah!

[@GerrybobDillon]

Pardon my ignorance, but does anybody know who this amazing bass player is??

[@hugomermin182]

Gerry Dillon it is birelli lagrene à french manouche guitar player

[@Musikermomo]

How is this song called? (theme at the end)

[@Oroonie]

It's Eddie Harris' "Freedom Jazz Dance."

[@Musikermomo]

@@Oroonie 8 years ago 😂👌

[@Oroonie]

@@Musikermomo Sorry for the delayed response (only 8 years)...

[@Asdrubale01]

Free Jazz is hard to enjoy

[@aaronamccoy]

that sax kinda kills the vibe

[@AntonAmadeus]

Is Bireli playing flatwounds here?

[@jubuthehutt]

Probably not

[@osmarokuma]

No, the bass of doom is owned by Robert Trujillo (metallica). Any other is a replica.

[@drewjeers3301]

It doesn't sound like Jaco to me but it sounds pretty damn coo

[@Tylervrooman]

im about to be late for work...

[@pierre-andrefave9512]

So? late or not?

[@NeilRaouf]

IS THIS THE BASS OF DOOM WITH A DIFFERENT NECK?

[@hugomermin182]

nope its a replica

[@marguitvaldez4792]

Neil Raouf, the bass of doom as been rebuilt by Kevin Kaufman with a veneer of tiger maple in the body.

[@NeilRaouf]

Marguit Valdez thank you Marguit! Cheers

@93bookman

[@lilarenasguibe]

:( Jaco

[@Dacarjazz]

Bireli's from another world.... Awesome! But who are the arseholes who disliked this? Pop music fans perhaps!

[@wolfgangrolock]

Bireli a bcp aidé Jaco afin de redevenir Jaco Bireli est comme un imitateur genre Laurent Gerra mais en... PASTORIUS ?!?!?

[@yourownrisk]

Almost as good as Jaco but better :)

[@buefyYT]

a bit.. TOO jaco. I love it, but i'm having trouble hearing this and not hearing blatant jaco licks

[@aldious1010]

That was the point! It's a tribute haha

[@Pupparen]

I love it but Jaco didn't play like this. He knew when to be silent, a much greater understanding of rythm.

[@traillezat]

steu claque

[@AKingOfBass]

Good but not in the same league as Jaco. Depth of sound, time feel, accuracy of execution, musical conception not on a par. Jaco had the ferocious intensity of the geniuses of the music such as Parker and Bud Powell, the compositional output also.

[@jubuthehutt]

Like when Jaco played drums...

[@osmarokuma]

u mad?

[@guitarreilly]

admire the musicianship but im sorry but aint a solo instrument, not for me anyway

[@samhpsn]

Admire deez nuts

[@aroulleauxdugage]

Ca me dégoûte ;-)
