This bass players tone is insane

[@yifengli58]

I really want to know how he play that tiny pop sound without actually popping the string

[@doomraisin]

@@yifengli58it’s a combination of low buzzing string action and right hand technique, striking the string downward near the bridge pickup. He’s really good at it. Notice how he uses the sleeve on his shirt to mute the strings too, that’s slick af

[@kinyatta1]

Great performance! My father Gary King is the original bass player on 3 separate releases. Roberta Flack version. Bob James version. Grover Washington Jr. version.

[@icantdothisagain]

The bass learned how to play 5 strings on that day I guess But yea, I love the bass in this, more feels rather than absurdly fast and super technical composition, I think its modest, to the highest "just right" modesty goodness. Yeh.

I saw Kevin Eubanks live at a guitar masterclass years ago. TIL this day he & Stanley are on my list of the top 10 guitarists I have ever heard in the entire world. Both are absolute VIRTUOSOs of improvisers. They take the meaning of prodigy & the word guitarist to a whole other level. What are great cover & the world is blessed to be fortunate to listen to them honey their craft together.

For some reason this is getting recommended to Braziliians viewers, I just loved it. Amazing instrumentals, bass player killing it.

[@cm-kl2wx]

...and Australians too!

[@MFDOOOOM]

I'm assuming Brazilians have great taste just because there's a few of yall in every music clip of all genres i hop into haha

[@OfficialRedDirtNurse]

You know that Brazil and Paraguay are practically antipodal to Japan - this means that, if you drilled a hole all the way through the earth from Japan, you'd end up almost in Brazil. Coincidence? I think not. Sorry, flat-earthers - you lose.

Less is more 😍😍😍love how they choose being melodic over showing off fast notes

[@DiandraStarShine]

well it's a classic that 'almost demands' that by it's very [original] nature, so makes sense to me as well.👍and so far, I've not heard anyone rearrange this classic song with "fast notes." which, of course, would be fine for those who like them - whether they be musicians or consumers of music, to each their own re: preferences..& this cover by Toshiki Soejima is truly fantastic, imho & probably my favorite instrumental version of it.🎸

[@simonbailey2151]

100%. Beautifully underplayed.

[@bowel_movement]

What a bass player! He knows exactly what to play and when there's space for him to show off a bit. He adjusts his energy so well to what the song needs at every point. All those little responses to licks from the guitarist and keyboardist. That being said, the rest of the band is very tight and tasteful too! A piece of rhythm section heaven.

[@ersinbaro]

Exactly true! 🙌 🌻 ❤️Very well explained thanks for details 🙏

Love how its mixed for the phone too. Thats where I watch most live performances or live studio stuff. Its mixed perfectly for this post-work destress sesh

[@1980JPA]

It takes talent and originality to play this song in a mellow vibe without it slipping into "smooth jazz" (using the current negative connotation). Originality, technique, and just plain funkiness on display here.

1:28 Sweet little piece on the guitar. One thing I've come to learn over the years having listened to many styles of music from Japan (from the 1970s to the present) is how outstanding the level of musicianship is. With that also comes tremendous levels of feeling, groove and pure passion for making music. It has been a pleasure listening to this wonderful piece of music. ありがとうございました

[@macmaccionaodha4711]

The Japanese are a dedicated and spiritual people. That is why their culture superceedes the remainder of the so called educated west. They see honour and loyalty in all they do, including music. If it isnt right, do it until it is. Thats why this is so good.
