You say it’s not about the chords, these were added, but don’t the root notes come frome these chords?

thanks for sharing it

I played that bass and indeed has magical qualities.

Or, put a couple of dot stickers on there. Is that cheating? The notes don't care.

Great video!

Nothing wrong with Simandl. It's just another set of options. Simandl also crosses over to electric well. I studied with it when I had access to a DB, and used it with my electric studies too. But mainly for reading. I think a player who practices well, is going to end up exploring more than one method knowingly or not. LOL It's not really something I am ever conscious of at this point. I play 6 string electric now mainly, and have to know even more pathways, and more options that are available . Knowing more options is always better, even if you don't use them frequently. Cheers.

Not true; both Mingus and Oscar Pettiford were not only using the upper register of the bass, but they were AT LEAST as virtuosic as Lafaro in that upper register. Actually, Mingus was a virtuoso in the upper register BEFORE Lafaro. Yes, Mingus's linear/soloing language was different to Lafaro's, but it was EQUALLY virtuosic in the upper registers of the bass BEFORE Lafaro.

buenisimo que compartas esto!!

Dig the sound of the Yamaha silent bass - am thinking of getting one

"Old Joe Clark" is the tune he plays on 80/81. "American Dreams" is not really related to that tune to my ears, probably more a melting pot of all the folk music that was in his head. I too share a deep appreciation for his work, deceptively simple but deep at the same time.

Don’t look at your hands!

Wow, that sounds kinda like a way guitarists see scale shapes across the fretboard, very cool

I'm going to call them the "Art Blakey's so great" and the "Cole Davis Bass" fills.

Would like to see what you're doing with your right hand to interject those triplets into your bass lines.

wassuup

yeah nice triplets! you should make a video on polyrythms 3vs2 and 3vs4 bass lines for solo bass!

thanks for the lesson, i apreciate

He trying it out best of luck for it good

Do you like to do that with a pianist an a drummer a live?

Hello mister Davis, excellent.

You're one of the best in the bass game, Cole. Thank you for the low down guidance.

Great insight and playing, Thanks! I will say, though, Gary Peacock was doing similar things around the same time; completely unique approach, of course. La Faro left us too soon. I don't think Bill Evans ever goy over it.

Cool! I love that tune 🙏🏽

Love this song! Also love "Watermelon Man." The world needs more fruity jazz.

Bill and Scott play like a tenor and bass opera singers - each singing their own parts simultaneously within the same harmony.

At 17 years old I went to Kolstein Music to buy my 1st Bass. Sam Kolstein was there and Imet him as well. It was at their home (Before Baldwin, Merrick). I saw a BASS behind the glass and Barry told me it was Scott Lafaro’s. I had no idea who he was. How naïve. I listen almost Village Vanguard album a LOT. I am blown away by what LaFaro was doing… all blind to the average ear, GREAT analysis my friend. Matt J Charlotte NC

I've been playing upright 20 years and still don't think like that on the acoustic fingerings, but yeah they are life saver especially when you have a fast walking bass line. I think I saw some videos of Ron Carter also teaching these fingerings. Something I will start practicing more.

yeah nice fingerings to dive in

oh my goodness you have a fantastic sound what strings do you use ?

bro...

Thanks

I have the same impression, so much of Israel Crosby's playing on Poinciana seems to foreshadow Jamerson, almost to the point where you could say Poinciana is as representative of Jamerson's style as of Crosby's... What Crosby plays on the C7 at 5:26, for example, with the repeated/ghosted notes, or the way he often leans on the 6th of the major and minor chords. They both used the right hand first finger exclusively, which might account for some similarity in phrasing. By the way, on the A7 chord in Poinciana, it sounds to me like the note on beat 4 is a tom and the bass plays on the and of four.

It would've been impossible for Jamerson to have recorded it on 'upright' bass, as according to Standing in the Shadows of Motown, he was so drunk when he cut this take that he had to play lying down!

Bass Allah

Does work in electric bass????

❤

Nice but I like it on gut strings ... also what about the right hand and sounds Paul got? Hmmm picks up bass starts to practice! LOL Thanks got the grey matter pumping.

That “flex” was bad ass… nice.

Amazing.

I love LOVE that line. And played fast like that is just AWESOME! 🔥 🔥 🔥

Bravo. The use of harmonics is fantastic. Up there with portrait of Tracy. Thx for posting this.

I agree that listening to singers like Frank and Ella and Billie and Sarah and Tony etc. is one of the greatest things we can do, and also singing along with them and leaning the lyrics too. You don't have to be a great singer, just an amateur and it's great ear training and really adds to your musical skills. In addition, it really helps to remember hundreds of different melodies ---- just think of the title and the first few lines and you'll have it. Lastly, you don't mention that Sinatra sings behind the beat.

Love it!

Wow

Great hands!
