What are you Practising? - Legends of Jazz Bass Q.1

[@AroldoLuvisottoNeto]

Geoff, the Double Bass community in the entire world cannot thank you enough for what you're bringing to us in terms of this instrument. Outstanding initiative! Thank you! Cheers!

[@adrienpeyronnel170]

+1 this video is amazing. Geoff you can be proud of everything you bring to us, I'm impressed and thankful.

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Hey Aroldo, thank you so much! I really appreciate your support :-)

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Thanks Adrien, I really appreciate that :-)

[@rayjpfeiffer]

Can't agree more!

[@paulandrew5791]

Concur completely

[@philstutely5010]

I thought this would be a special video when I read the title. Ron Carter's response hit me especially hard. It takes a lot to admit that it's tough to organise our thoughts at any time and I think he's a legend for putting his thoughts and feelings out there so honestly. Music is important, practice is important but being kind to ourselves is essential if we are to get back to playing music with and for others. Thanks DDB and the legendary Ron Carter. Stay safe.

[@bobsabin]

Ron Carter?

[@philstutely5010]

@@bobsabin Yes! Thanks.

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

His on at 11:42

[@RonCarterBassist]

Thank you for those kind words Mr. Stutely!

[@joshmcdzz6925]

Bob is just so inspiring.. been following him since the Marsalis days.. Ron had me in stitches..

[@DirtleTilbury]

Everyone on this was incredible regarding inspiration.....my mind fell apart at this Brian Bromberg jam tho...... 'see' 13:54 to get the chills

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Agreed! That's such a special moment.

[@chadball4526]

Embarrassed that I’d never heard him before, but Brian Bromberg. Wow! What an amazing touch and sound he’s got. Checking his work out now. As always, Geoff, thanks so much.

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Hey Chad, I'm a huge fan of Brian Bromberg and would recommend you check out his albums Wood and Wood 2. They are INCREDIBLE! Plus, you wouldn't believe how many hit records he's played on such as Michael Buble's record with Fever and Moondance. If you listen to the bass there are some seriously hip lines happening on that record!

[@EJHDad]

BB is a monster. His insights were very thoughtful as well. Great stuff.

[@chadball4526]

@@DiscoverDoubleBass ...listening to Wood now. Wow. Thanks for the tip. Looking forward to the next video.

[@stringmatrix]

@@chadball4526 I got to know him as an electric bassist first, he is also a killer on electric. I saw him live in a fusion setting in the 90s, one of the best concerts of my life.

[@chadball4526]

Stringmatrix hey man. Checking that out too. Btw...really enjoying your videos on micing and bass tone.

[@thewordnerds]

Chuck Israels: “Unfortunately there’re not that many reasons to play all the time.” Man, it was really reassuring to hear that sentiment from a master of the bass. Lately I’ve been feeling burned out by practicing with no prospect of playing with other people. At least I know I’m not the only one!

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Agreed. I really do hope it's not too long before we can all get back out there.

[@BIGBOTTOM32]

That was f__ing AMAZING! Thanks for putting that together for the DB community, Geoff!

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Thanks so much! I loved putting it together and I'm so pleased you enjoyed it :-)

[@edwardeatmon325]

All the guys are my favs but damn Brian Bromberg makes a bass start testifying 👍🏿

[@philcassel]

I didn't like the vibe of his playing ... maybe because it's the only video where the guy chose to show off his huge house in the background ....

[@johnljspiro]

Dear Geoff, congratulations for putting this together and congratulations to each one of these fantastic musicians for sharing their wisdom with us. I had been making fairly good use of all this extra time but recently I have been feeling disillusioned. This was just what I needed to get back on the horse. Looking forward to more videos in this series.

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Many thanks! I'm really glad you enjoyed it and the next videos are due very soon. Best wishes, Geoff

[@rogpalmer]

Thanks for the inspirations. I've just picked up my bass after about 30 years. It's become frighteningly big in that time, my hands are weak and it hurts - but your channel encourages me to keep at it.

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Thanks for watching Rog. I'm sure it will get easier, but it can be quite uncomfortable at first. Stick with it and I'm sure you will make great progress. :-)

[@dieg0o0s]

one of the most inspirational bass videos I have ever saw. VERY THANKS for this content!

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

You're welcome Diego! Thanks for watching :)

[@stephenpwilson1930]

This was great. My bass has sat for on its own for quite awhile and this has woken us both up. From me, myself and my bass XXX thank you

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Awesome news! Enjoy your music and thanks for watching our video :-)

Thanks for putting that together, Geoff - inspirational stuff.

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Thanks Jonathan, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! :-)

[@cpaterso28]

Great stuff! Good to see all these bassists. To see them in situ, and hearing about their desire/need to keep their chops up. Really liked Mr. Hurst's recommendation of a drum groove rather than a 'nome. Thanks to you, Geoff and to all of them!

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Glad you enjoyed it :-) ....also I agree about Robert Hurst, he's such an inspiring artist!

[@StephaneBihan]

[@russelldougherty3054]

What a great idea! I'd love to see things like this even when the pandemic is over, especially hearing them identifying their own "deficiencies." The only downside is I realize I'M not practicing enough.

[@lowtone9]

Which bass is John Patitucci playing? The top looks very unusual, doesn't look like spruce at all.

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

It's an old Italian bass made by Gagliano. John talks about it in a future video.

[@eliseoborrerobass]

Thanks for the video, it's very interesting; however, Patitucci makes me laugh with his "advice" play an ostinato for not 3 mins, not 5 mins but 10 mins. (who has that kind of time?) No offense...but, are you crazy John?

[@learnmusic488]

I would be “practicing” my spelling..

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

It’s spelt differently outside the U.S. www.dictionary.com/e/practice-vs-practise/

[@learnmusic488]

Discover Double Bass Oh well what do you know,... I guess I just “learned something” 😃
