Tal Wilkenfeld - Haunted Love - 3/7/2019 - Paste Studios - New York, NY

[@pputnam100]

Her vocal pitch is spectacular, what a musician! Most people see her playing Beck tunes with Vinnie and are blown away by her "chops" but here you realize the musical mind behind it all. Wow.

[@cliffwheeler7357]

Jeff's keyboard maestro Jason Rebello always seems to get overlooked when people praise his band members. He is just as essential to Jeff as Tal and Vinnie. He has won several awards for his jazz performances, both live and his solo recordings.

[@bilyg5689]

Yes. Her talent is undeniable. Her voice is eerily beautiful.

[@bari1348]

Some of her early recordings and videos, I found challenging, as her pitch control did not quite match the ambition of her writing. But now, simply OMG, she is nailing a piece that easily could have been written by Joni Mitchell. Great musicianship. Unfortunately it is hard to buy her stuff. The CD comes out of Japan for $30.00 or more so I guess i listen to a lot of You Tube videos which don't appear to help her financially a whole lot.

[@ClaudineyPerbony]

Love her

[@Tufarock]

Creating something unique in a time where most everything has already been done is an amazing achievement. Well done!

[@beasheerhan4482]

There is so very very much that has NOT been done, musically, Dear Mullet - it is just that imagination, originality and inspiration is at a century low in the culture, nowadays.

@@beasheerhan4482 In ancient Egypt only women were allowed to play music: not because sacred but what they didn't want to hear was the sound of a "becoming-woman" or child, animal or otherwise in men. Women have to become-woman too... Tel does great guitar where that is the voice.

[@TomCPlus1]

This is stunningly beautiful and original music -- lyrics, melody, harmonic structure. There are a lot of hilarious comment-cowboys opining on whether "bass is a lead" and whether she's a singer. Answer: it is, and she is, and better than the randos who fancy themselves as critics.

[@oxcarthabu]

Can the Bass be the lead? See "Cream"-Jack Bruce!!

Very well said Thomas Castle! :)

[@marionodom9585]

Very real and more important...very original. My ears tell me it comes from a different place, somewhere only she knows. Very moved to hear this musician. I will definitely tell my generation to listen. Very refreshing to hear a real artist.

[@loosilu]

@@robertharrison9490 Original and beautiful. The real thing.

[@andreasschneider8556]

A totally different side by Tal: The chord arppeggios on the bass, her vocals (never heard such good vocals from her! it fits perfectly to the song), the chamber music arrangement - very original!

What an incredible talent Tal is

[@winspire1]

So beautifully mood-evoking. Epic song, wonderfully and sensitively performed.

[@TheChaNar]

Wonderful music from a very talented, intelligent and expressive musician. What a beautiful voice...wow...and her bass sings with equal beauty.

[@Gnomaxx]

Thx to Jeff Beck for letting emerge this wonderfull talent

[@robertsnyder1890]

i have seen jeff twice in concert. i have been following this girl for ten years. it is great she is coming into her own.

[@krazykalle4518]

Who is Jeff Beck?

[@rcafiero]

@pete ziriaah No she's not that good. She played with Herbie Hancock, and the world best bassists. But she's not that good. She has been awarded in 2008 as "The Year's Most Exciting New Player" for the "Bass Player" journal. But she's not that good. Probably she was fucking the director too. She didn't fuck YOU!!! And this is the only true thing among all that I wrote above, and this is the reason why you hate her. I am sorry for you.

[@LudvikM]

We'll see when you get to 5th grade. Now go wash your fingers, and brain (or whatever you have up there).

[@LudvikM]

No, apparently you prefer to tell misogynistic lies and call them an opinion. You're the asshole here (and since that's my opinion, you can't insult me back, right?)

[@nelsonsoucasaux2751]

Wow... Bass being played both as lead and harmony instrument, together with a powerful female voice... plus, in some parts of the song, a string section makes its entrance... Well... As a solo guitar player who has been listening intensely to progressive, prog-rock, avant garde and related genres for nearly 55 years, I must say I never listened to something like that... It's TRULY UNIQUE, INNOVATIVE and GREAT !!! One thousand congratulations to the great Tal Wilkenfeld, she's really GREAT !

[@davidj.gaillard1046]

If she could only bend those strings

[@nelsonsoucasaux2751]

Wow, I never could think about that...

[@irawhitlock1084]

You DO continue to take me by surprise; fresh and beautiful harmonies and progressions. It’s like breathing fresh air or treating new flavors you’ve never even thought about. Most music is so stale; not yours. Ty for sharing your creations.

Just amazing. Killer songwriting, great vocals, and we already knew she could play.

[@Tmwmd]

[@Tugend8]

Wonderful and delicious, also smoothy and deeply honest tune of Mrs Wilkenfeld and her musicians. Thanks a lot for it. Love & peace ...!

You beat me to it. I noticed that as well.

[@NandanoBlackett]

Truly beautiful Music and real uncensored comedy go hand n hand! Thanks Tal...oh and thanks Bill Burr.

[@paulwindsor7145]

Amazing! Her musicianship has exceeded her years as a player. I have so much respect for her as a musician and composer. I remember hearing a Leonard Cohen song she performed, Chelsea Hotel, and I think some influence came from him. She has come a long way since Beck and matured into a great songwriter as well. She makes the bass do things I never thought it could do. The song Haunted Love seems to be one of the milestones we all face as humans, sorrow and the blues. I'm conflicted with seeing such a beautiful woman and musician go through the difficult bumps in life, but those things create opportunities for beautiful and expressive blues; she's paying her dues.

[@brianforce3010]

Absolutely beautiful. I never knew Tal could sing, damn. A little Ricky Lee Jones vibe in her voice, but deeper. I like it.

[@MrSopner]

God this beautifull, I don't know how many times I've already listen to this, it keeps bringing me to tears. Thank you Tall.
