Adam ben ezra is great no doubt. I am sure those of us who know flamenco see it as: if you have a level like Adam ..before you call it flamenco study it. That is what many are afraid of because its a whole universe (complex if you arent born with it) to discover. Avishai Cohen loves flamenco but rather prefeared to make an aproach with sefardi (ancient spanish jewish music). Check out Carles Benavent.
So true, he actually introduced it in the70's but he was ver cautious at that time. Many traditionalist would not accept it. Paco de Lucia did and also brought the Cajon from Peru. What a time isn't it?
I've been playing double bass since 1987 both classical and jazz, after hearing this man I am utterly blown away! I play percussion as well, although I do some percussion on the base, not nearly at this man's high level of skill, and I never once gave a thought to using my feet in addition to my hands! Also, that is my favorite way to record, a few good mics well placed into a good old real to real tape recorder. Call me old-fashioned but that's the way to record. And again sir what I saw in your performance was nothing short of a work of genius! God bless you and keep sharing your tremendous gift with a world that desperately needs the joy and amazement of music. If you are a teacher your students are certainly blessed to have you.
Unnamed Player if you don't like it why couldn't you just not watch the video or just go on with your day? Instead of disliking someone's art. I don't believe wishing the best for someone else's craft is cancerous. Attempting to be an edge lord in the UA-cam comments is cancer sir.
They way he builds suspense is very nice. It reminds me greatly of some sort of movie soundtrack in the desert. He added the perfect beat and scales to make it sound like that. Very impressive and sounds great.
Everyone listening must need headphones to hear the Spanish Flamenco translated into their own native languages? Wonderful technique and performance. I will now go look for more music from Adam Ben Ezra.
You know you're witnessing true art when you see it at feel like it was so interment it wasn't even for your eyes or ears to experience, and yet there you are, in a small crowded room. He's tapping that bass so much it makes me feel like he and it should get a private room ❤👏
By far the best stand-up bass solo I've ever heard and I saw it too was put on by PBS and it was Max hediguer who is Claude Bolling bassist he lovingly called his eyes and I can't find that bass solo and I guess I'll have to live my life with only seeing that once but he is by far the cleanest and fastest stand up bass player I've ever seen and I've seen Jaco Pastorius and I've seen Stanley Clarke I've seen everybody and then as John McLaughlin is to guitar this guy Max hettiguer is to stand up bass , no one's really close and he plays one note with one finger no slapping no pounding on it just notes 64th triplets up and down the neck thank goodness I got to see it once

If you ever think an instrument is "boring" you just haven't seen someone play it right! This was just stunning!!!
this is why they call it upright? 🤣
What a genius of a man
Wow, a person with a million didn’t even get 3 likes. Wow. Well I’m here to give you 2 :)
This genius just born one time every 50 years
Adam Ben Ezra has become one of my favorite bassist. His compositions are beautiful. Plus, how do you do that many things at once?
rythm man but still cannot hear the flamenco...
Cesar Fernandez I get inspired by influence, but yeah the bass is not really a flamenco instrument.

When I see Ben Erza immediately put a "like". He's a wizard. I began to treat the double bass differently.
How can people dislike this like even if you don't like that style of music that takes amazing talent and practice. Absolutely beautiful.

This needs more views
By far the best stand-up bass solo I've ever heard and I saw it too was put on by PBS and it was Max hediguer who is Claude Bolling bassist he lovingly called his eyes and I can't find that bass solo and I guess I'll have to live my life with only seeing that once but he is by far the cleanest and fastest stand up bass player I've ever seen and I've seen Jaco Pastorius and I've seen Stanley Clarke I've seen everybody and then as John McLaughlin is to guitar this guy Max hettiguer is to stand up bass , no one's really close and he plays one note with one finger no slapping no pounding on it just notes 64th triplets up and down the neck thank goodness I got to see it once
My jaw was hitting the floor on the beat...
this guy's phenomenal...
Excellent.
I'd like to see Adam Ben Ezra, Don Ross, & Andy McKee play together!
