The Chicken (Pee Wee Ellis)

[@heathfiebert5454]

Abraham is on a totally different level. He is a joy to listen to and watch.

[@SimonBrisbane]

He is wonderful but he paid no respect to Jaco’s right hand sensitivities in this song. Alas that’s his prerogative but it did rob the song of it’s original dynamicism.

[@leoweisberger4874]

@@SimonBrisbane Jaco’s version is great, but he’s not the original composer of this piece. Pee Wee Ellis is.

Yeah, man, funk fusion is genuinely pretty amazing when played by folks that are truly exceptional at it. And these dudes are.

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

@@lildae24I don't know that it's 'black' music anymore, is it? I mean, obviously credit where it's due (there'd be no jazz or funk, at least not as we now know it, were it not for black musicians), but I think anyone of any ethnicity that can play this stuff faithfully has respect for its origins which are many decades in the past. Does music not equalize us all? There appear to be at least three ethnicities represented in this combo, and I feel like they all absolutely killed it.

[@PrimeTime345]

@@The_sinner_Jim_WhitneySir, you are mistakenly believing that racially charged comment was somehow made in good faith. It wasn’t. He’s just here to poison the well and ruin the social cohesion of American jazz culture. Disregard people like this and never argue with them.

[@joshuachang5210]

@@lildae24isn’t the idea of black instead of various African ethnic groups a product of them moving (even though mostly involuntarily) to the americas, therefore the “western” hemisphere? Of course the term western can be stupid but if you in turn put it as American civilization then it sounds more riht

Es un bajista conocido mundialmente, Abraham Laboriel, mexicano, originalmente fue instruido en la guitarra clasica, (de hecho es concertista clásico), Laboriel empezó con el bajo asistiendo a clases en la Berklee School of Music en Boston, consiguiendo la licenciatura en composición. Grabó y trabajó Henry Mancini y con grandes y diversos artistas. Hay muchos grandes intérpretes de bajo en este mundo, pero hay uno, y sólo uno Abraham Laboriel. Abraham fue galardonado con un Doctorado en Música por el Berklee College of Music. Abraham Laboriel se adhiere a la fe cristiana y considera que "la música es un regalo de Dios y es un concepto que le pertenece a Dios"

Love the bassists keeping the funky jazz and doing a little lead on his own, he's geeat. Guitarist was great. Everyone was. You'll go from a Steely Dan R&B to, a jazz funk and then throw in some funky and jazzy blues. You just took me on a ride i will need to take many more times. Must download this masterpiece.

[@kavemankarl2588]

@@daveking4974 He certainly is, that's why I find it strange that of the four only Laboriel and Ruiz are well known figures on the fusion music scene, having played with the likes of Lee Ritenour and Simon Philips. There is here on youtube a video of the fabulous rendition of Ritenour's Rio Funk with a much thinner Laboriel at the bass. I think it was filmed at the Montreal Jazz Fest either in '91 or '93. Lots of energy in that performance.

[@ewokwarrior2656]

As a bassist, the drummer was awesome at being the song glue for the band as they soloed by holding down the beat but also those accents he threw in were perfectly placed and to me enhanced not only the beat but the whole of the musicality of the piece. By that,, I mean, it was like he was talking to the band with his drumming.

Got to meet Abe 40 years ago after Lee Ritenour and Friendship disbanded. His group, Koinonia, played a free gig for the UCSD Fellowship of Christian Students in the Mandeville Auditorium at the behest of our Pastor, Ray Bentley (may he rest in peace) when our church was in its infancy. I hope Abe is still joyfully poppin' and slappin' dat bass. I heard his son, Jr. has played with Abe's circle of LA studio musicians.
