VULFPECK /// Joe Dart Beastly solo @ Ancienne Belgique

I was just going to trim the video to have it at hand for future study. And then I got carried away with Premiere. Hope Jack doesn't mind.
Btw if you're reading this it means you're a curious person so may I convince you to be curious for a bit longer and check out a fellow Vulf fan's band? It's punk rock! It's in Spanish! Adventurous!

[@randomcoffeetable777]

Most jazz fusion, prog rock, and prog metal audiences will be able to do that, almost everyone at those shows are musicians and most likely music nerds as well.

[@firstname_rene]

really enjoy that this solo style is very indicative of a groove-oriented player versus a soloist ripping into some melodic adventure. There's still great musicianship but it's very grounded like an upright player solo featuring a chord progression in a jazz setting.

[@redford4ever]

True. Actually it's not really a solo. He's still playing a bassline on repeat. It's all in the variations

[@henriquemicael2271]

This inspired me to pick up my bass and enter on a deep depression because I can't play even 10% of this

No technique is "wrong". The only technique that's right is the one that works for you. Me personally, I play with more of a 'Marcus Miller'-style slap technique, but that's jut me.

[@mikex4941]

What makes joe great is his timing and muting which is spot on

[@57sitruc]

Its like Jaco is back. Love Joe’s playing. Such a great band.

[@mcos6]

Joe is not a bad bassist. But he is not Jaco

[@EpicStuffMan1000]

@@mcos6 joe could definitely play like jaco, but his favourite music/role is the side dude bass player (as opposed to jaco the frontman/writer), as he has said in interviews.

[@mcos6]

@@EpicStuffMan1000 I think that people who say that Joe Dart can play like Jaco (or even come close) have a very shallow understanding of who Jaco was as a musician and the level he reached with not only his actual playing but his conceptualization of the role of the bass in music and his understanding of music itself. Yes, Joe can play some funky grooves and make the crowd go wild with his bass solos, but he has not achieved a mastery of the bass, or contributed to any sort of musical innovation on the bass, to the level that Jaco did during his lifetime. I am not saying in any way that Joe is a bad bass player. He is very skilled at what he does and he is the perfect bass player for a band like Vulfpeck. In this sense he is a great musician; he fits his musical context very well. I just think that people don't always realize exactly what they're saying when they say things like "Jaco is back". I don't mean to come across as a Jaco fan boy. He was not a perfect man or a perfect musician. I just think that, yeah, Joe is pretty groovy. But to compare him to Jaco would be like comparing Slash to Allan Holdsworth. Are they both good? Yeah. Could Slash ever hope to reach the level of musical understanding that Allan does? Maybe if he devoted the rest of his life to doing so, and even then probably not... although I respect Slash for what he can do, he is not on the same level. So it is with Joe and Jaco.

[@MarioAtheonio]

@@mcos6 I think they're just talking about the style of this solo. Which, come on, this is VERY Jaco-esque!

[@jasonz1771]

@@mcos6 your coming across as very snobby and if somebody doesnt agree with you then they obviously dont understand to the level you do smh. People always talk about Jaco and his influence yet every bassist I talk to about influences mention other bassists before Jaco. The ones I hear the most is Larry Graham, Flea, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten, Paul McCartney, Geddy Lee, John Entwistle, and Cliff Burton. Jaco was very influential to a much more narrow crowd. At the end of the day, music is art and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There is no best, just preference of those experiencing that art. I'm a bassist aswell and I personally prefer the playing of Larry Graham and Tony Franklin over Jaco or Victor Wooten. I dont care if it's simple or complex, I care about how it sounds and feels. Complex/technical = harder to play, it doesnt necessarily mean better music. Music isn't a competition, it is art.
