The Bass Walk: Abraham Laboriel

  • Abraham Laboriel is one of the world’s greatest bass players according to Paul McCartney. A lot of musicians must agree because he is the most recorded bass player of all time. I got Abraham, Pee Wee Hill & some other great musician friends to record this sort of dueling basses jazz funk grove for me so I could capture on video Abe’s amazing talents. The Bass Walk is a tune inspired by a little riff Abe played on a record in the 70’s that has since been sampled and incorporated into dozens of rap songs.

    Mr Laboriel what a legend! The first time I saw him was with Ron kenoly. Great to see his still alive and kicking! God bless him.

      It's a beautiful bass! I'm sure I've seen Maceo Parker's bassist absolutely tear it up with one of those
