Decided to search Marc on KZbin, crazy to see my uncle in such a different way. To me he was always "my uncle who plays the bass", and as an adult I knew he was one of the greats, but to see him in such a professional light is awesome.

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

That’s amazing! It’s hard to overstate Marc’s contribution to the bass world and jazz music in general. His music means so much to so many.

[@CindySmith-my3rz]

I was at UNT at the same time as Marc. He was always carrying his big upright bass around campus, and he always had a smile. It’s gratifying to see him get so much love as an artist.

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

That's wonderful. He's a very special person. It sounds like a UNT must have been a wonderful place to study.

[@DANWHIELDON]

From my point of view as a pianist, he is one of the greatest bass players. His tone, his feel- love it. His work with Bill Evans is amazing as is his playing with Enrico Pieranunzi.

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Thanks so much Dan. It was a real joy getting to meet Marc and it's so cool to hear you enjoyed his music as much as I did. His work with Enrico Pieranunzi is so inventive and rich! I love it.

[@jazzbrew68]

His tone is immaculate. Such musicality.

[@francescodefendi3201]

Absolutely yes! What a huge and beautiful sound in his hands 😊😍

[@bassmonk2920]

[@FaceBassFieldy]

That’s so cool! Although I’m an electric player I’ve loved Marc Johnson’s playing, sound & compositions since discovering him in the late 80s’ with Bass Desires. Thanks for sharing.

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Thanks Simon, I'm glad you enjoyed it. :-)

[@caseyryder2119]

El máster saco dos libros de jazz

[@stefansampy6348]

Does anyone know the solo bass album by Dave Holland that Marc is referring to in the vid?

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Emerald Tears

[@stefansampy6348]

@@DiscoverDoubleBass Thanks!

[@chadball4526]

What mic is being used there? U87?

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

I can't remember, but it wasn't a u87. Possibly an M47 or perhaps a replica of one.

[@Radowitzki]

Overpass blew me away! Marc is awesome!

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Same here! I love that record.
