Tal Wilkenfeld - The river of life

[@cjk9013]

Thanks for posting. Just when one begins to think that this world is filling up with disrespectful worthless youth, then a gem shines forth.

[@castlehilldude]

Clearly, one of the finest bass players in the world! Very easy on the eyes as well!

[@Claude1Rochon]

I love the subtle comment. just LOVE it. TAL is a beauty in the works

[@Take5Geri]

Tal is new to me....and I can't stop playing her videos. What an excellent musician ....and she's so new compared to the others who came before her. Looks like I'm "Talified". . Wishing Tal the best in her career. "Great lady of bass" .

[@davidtapp3950]

She was Jeff Beck's bassist for years. Another Aussie made good!

[@ER-me1ii]

Tal stole my heart. I mean that in the least creepy way possible. Such a talent.

[@WinstonGuitar]

It's fascinating how, in her live work with Jeff and Herbie, she "leans in" when she plays, hunkering down to show that she's part of this awesome collection of musicians. But now, with her solo touring, she's up front, standing tall and I'm sure, a little bit proud :)

[@berndjungmann5600]

She,s everybodys DREAM , WHAT A TALENT

[@Philla12]

"Respect " for your talent is coming Babygirl,The haters will be silent now.Play on ,play on...............Love this chart............

[@jsm355]

KILLER !! There is a future !! I'm listening ...

[@hutchfromba]

Unreal ! What a shining star Tal is . Wow !

[@stonepolismusic]

Some people are born to born to play and are lucky enough to find the instrument that suits their voice as a player...Tal is definitely one of these!

[@washingtondigital6208]

An intelligent piece of music and it allows Tal's talents to shine through. Go Tal !

[@giorgioadams]

[@12fitzmacdeoson]

Awesome Tal

[@doogie249]

Wow, this is like Return to Forever at their best. I am in total awe of her talent.

[@drablaze06]

I love how she enjoys and supports what the other musicians are doing. I'm sure she makes everyone else play better. That's what a true musician will do for you.

[@davidboatwright5701]

she wrote all of this as teen, she composed every song on this album

[@rg2027x]

Tal rocks! I was blown away first hearing this album in '07. and continue to be with every listen. what an amazing beautiful talent. The world needs more musicians, and less computers.

[@jakeenan]

She's such a wonderful musician.....Jaco Pastorius and Jimmy Haslip just flow through her like water. Highest praise indeed.

[@tonytyrone88]

what a song !!!!!!!

[@nolobede]

Im glad she is contributing her already present genius to the jazz scene. She is already a favorite of mine due to her ability to funk, fill and run with it when its time. Hope to hear a lot more from her.

[@joeldenis3477]

Very good musique very gold plaint!

[@amandadavis5437]

so beautiful I am in tears

[@pizza4man]

It's a bad week if I don't listen to this piece at least once.

[@radu0gheorghe]

It's wonderful how this says so much, has no lyrics and is so relaxing - all at the same time...

[@rnr5682]

very,very beautiful

[@LesActive]

Today's goddess of bass.

[@curvball12]

I was a professional player for 10 years and a public school band director for 36 years... Tal, you and just a few others show me the joy I felt when the music played. Thank you is not enough when I watch you perform. 😀

[@1stSaintsFan]

I love the Tal, The Cut and man nice video..Kept my grizzled music veteran self looking...

[@vinstrumentals]

Who are the 12,(most likely jealous) musicians who disliked this? This is some of the best music I've ever heard.

[@newsiemen4u]

this girl is just the total package!

[@lopezb]

great tune! and such happy music. just what the world needs...

[@peterthomas5922]

Tal, the stuff you start at the 5:18 mark is so solid, could not be done better. Great lines, hit me on an emotional level. Thanks and sorry they pay you so crappy for the great work you do.

[@mccakb01]

Wow! Great musicians playing great music - never gets old. Let's not forget to mention Carlock's ghost notes keeping this thing moving. Nice.

[@vhugoxgnu]

I just can't stop listening this song

[@terrybrookman]

No words..Breathless...Kick ass, well some words!

[@091053JG]

She is a remarkably talented young woman. I saw her at the Fillmore last April with Beck and will see her again at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 19 when Clapton and Beck perform again.

[@cybertooth49]

I look forward to hearing her 10-15 years from now.

[@ashnoyatrushanyan6599]

She has captivated me!

[@outoworkdreamer]

what a little angel..and wonderful musician...

[@EixtremeDrummer]

TALented musician. Fantastic.

[@GENESIS0389]

i love this girl

[@garymorrison4139]

THIS is the reincarnation of Jaco. She has single handedly put her instrument back on the right track. Go Girl!

[@clapton79]

but correct English grammar and spelling do exist

[@garymorrison4139]

My post uses 'reincarnation' simply as a figure of speech. Hyperbole aside, women are being accepted in the profession as standout performers in their own right,by some of the best players. As the gender issue fades, it would be encouraging to many, who will never get the chance to realize their potential until the obstacle of poverty is addressed. A more just society would benefit everyone.

[@angelmagistris28]

OMG! Such a lucky day: I found a person with absolute truth!!!

[@garymorrison4139]

Women are establishing themselves as superb performers and finally winning the acclaim the deserve. If you need to be disabused of the notion of absolute truth, consult the comedy skits of Bennie Hill.

[@angelmagistris28]

Oh well! My comment is related to the rammar one, not yours. I think as you are.

[@untold_beast7409]

Great music. Didn't realize Tal was an aussie, not that it matters where she was born but it shows again that spirit of "If you want something bad enough..."

[@renethibault4238]

Tal you are genius of the Bass!

[@68lukka]

very very very goooooood!!!!!! a new star for the jazz!

[@mosiprop]

She is marvelous.. so happy to see a young bass player with her talent and musical savvy be so enthusiastic and passionate about her music.. a big fan for life here !! ;)

[@drumslessons.greece]

Amazing Tal...with and equal amazing Keith Carlock on the drums

[@gregoryweaver37]

[@gregoryweaver37]

[@HPHSGermany2010]

Thanks for posting. Wilkenfeld is one of the most amazing bassists around.

[@davidl8ly]

Just a plain astounding talent!!

[@gunnarerikryen7719]

I love You Tal. You are the very best bassplayer.

[@JYIKONA]

A clear twang of South African jazz. Very exceptional talent beyond X-factor scenarios.

[@bluesborn]

Tal's playing really pops in a visceral way yet doesn't lack in the brain department either. Fabulous tone to top it all off. Wow.She's a rare one.

[@tinman5680]

Keith Carlock is one bad ass drummer and perfect fit to Tal's style i saw him with Steely Dan a couple years ago.Holy crap

[@ajadrew]

I love this girl...

[@DahnBsongs]

Love everything this Lady does..........

[@Markgr122]

Keith Carlock is a monster times two!!! What a band

[@bmxcanada26]

She is a bass godess! Wonderful stuff!

[@scottmollan8904]

Tal... ladies and gentlemen... is the REAL deal. I been playin' 40 years... an' I can't play like dat...

[@simonzauels]

i switched back to this amazing bass solo nearly 1000 times

[@nogoogleplus]

What a great feel, she deserves all the gigs she's getting!

[@goliasfriend]

I'm in love with your sounds. Thanks Tal I'm live again.

[@sangielissa]

Geoff is playing great piano. Filling in and leaving no empty in betweens. Got a great all jazz solo goin' on, also. Fine music!

[@vincentm614]

Not only is the bass playing wonderful, but the compostion is great too! And you dont always need to slap or use altered tunings or 2 handed tapping to be a great player. Just talent and a wonderful imagination can take you anywhere!

[@karimrifaat9911]

Vincent Mouzon ok now

[@MrChasalopolis]

That was refreshing. I love Tal. time to get back to work.

[@ainahainas]

It seems her imagination in composition is tied perfectly to her ability to play it. Tal taps in and flows - she is remarkably mature in her taste while expressing with pure enthusiasm and joy what it is to make music and art. There is no hype here - Her gift is real so just enjoy it.

[@greatsilentwatcher]

Nice post. The jazz in this is really fun to listen to along with the visuals.

[@davidhavard5202]

Wow......she's great!! I love the bass guitar....had a copy of Mark King's 'Influences' years ago......this is right out there in a great musical space.

[@SuperBick1]

First heard tell of Tal last night as I flighted over the "Live at Ronnie Scotts" with Jeff Beck. Well the flight has lasted about 12 hours and I have mature both musically and spiritually...WOW!!!

[@AnotherMusicLover2]

None better. Genius. Truly genius.

[@LucianoSetti]

Non ho parole... è sublime!

[@pippodevitis9586]

Simply wonderful...

[@davidboatwright5701]

she is only 19 when she did this and also she joined Jeff Beck right after she did the album

[@SilfoNeves]

Keith Carlock is like a God on drums...

[@loopfish]

soooo awsome...

[@KarlMart62]

She’s amazing. The loveliest, most talented and skilfull bassist ever.

[@Ironclad35]

I love this track, Tal is a wonderful up and coming bass player in jazz fusion.

[@nveeeee]

So much talent and still so far to go.lucky us. far, Far beyond the average and mundane.

[@357murph]

Wow Tal is incredible

[@kg7aronny]

Amazing bass player with the right sound. Also the drummer, Awesome! A tight rhythm section...

[@jazzfunkybass]

most inspiring piece I've seen in a while keep up the amazing work !!! its music like this that should be on our radio's and not the the may I call them more entertainers than Musicians but still a real musician appreciates all walks of music but this music really should be appreciated more cause of the time and effort put into something amazing as this thanks for the inspiration

[@mattster693]

Outstanding composition! I enjoy this very much :)

[@alanmcmanus8824]

You're a beautiful young thing and a child prodigy that makes me melt when you smile or when you're making those great bass runs! The river of life is your shining hour, but I still liked your work with Beck the best! I'm a fan!

[@greatvanzini]

Hard to believe she's already 30. & if she's 30 I must be,,, let me se,,, Oh my Gosh!!!

[@maryalbert8404]

I am learning the bass, and I want to a compliment to this wonderful musical instrument... I am trying to learn Tal's technique.
