Et joyeux !! Je m'intéresse aux vidéos de basses et de bassistes et trop souvent les musiciens sont très fort techniquement mais tellement vides d'émotions que c'en est pénible. Ici la technique est sous entendue, déjà acquise et ce n'est plus le propos, et cela laisse la place à l'émotion, à la joie, au plaisir de jouer et de partager avec les autres musiciens et bien sûr le public !
