      It actually sounds like he is choosing his notes and selecting them creatively. Honestly, I don't think Wooten does that. I recognize Wooten's monumental ability and skill but I really can't say that I enjoy listening to him play. He is all over the place so fast. No real art or soul to his playing. This Cody kid here is an artist/musician.

      @@theTrend7 not just "style" I didn't mean to come to this comment thread to bash Wooten. Whenever I hear Wooten play it sounds like he is constantly interrupting himself. He is just a technical mess of too many notes going in too many directions. Wooten plays like he is deliberately trying to intimidate bass players. This guy plays like he wants to make good interesting music.

      @@craigdamage Your comment sounds very odd to me, 'cze I think of Victor Wooten as a very melodic player, and while he is a virtuoso, it never sounds like he is trying to play complex stuff, it just feels really natural and like he is choosing the most beautiful sounds he can. I mean, I think that the most amazing thing about his technique isn't his speed, but how fluid and groovy everything sounds. A lot of "virtuosos" can end up sounding really stilted and like they are pushing themselves, which sucks particularly hard for bassists, 'cze typically you want grooves to feel relaxed and natural, not tense and stilted, but I never feel like Victor does that, everything he plays is perfectly internalized.

    THE 1st ALEMBIC WAS A BASS FOR JACK CASSIDY OF THE JEFFERSON AIRPLANE
    I LIVED IN S.F. BACK IN 1972
    I WAS 22 YEARS OLD THEN
    I GOT TO KNOW ALEMBIC & THE MESA BOOGIE GUYS TOO
    IN THE 1990s I WAS BACK IN SAN FRANCISCO AND I MET JACK CASSIDY'S BROTHER
    WHO WAS A WELL KNOWN MASTER CARPENTER IN S.F.
    HE HAD SO MANY STORIES ABOUT THE 60s IN S.F.
    HE WAS THE MAL EVANS OF THE JEFFERSON AIRPLANE
    HE DID EVERY THING THEN
    CARLOS AND THE WORLD WAS MY BAND IN 1972 IN SF
    THE GREAT JAZZ VOCALIST JULIE KELLY SANG WITH ME AND PLAYED RHYTHM TOO
    DOUG METZLER PLAYED THE BASS WITH ME AT THE TIME
    GOOGLE THESE TWO GREATS
    CODY SURE HAS A GOOD FEEL ON HIS INSTRUMENT AND HE'S GREAT WITH GALES
    THE KARA GRAINGER GIG THAT CODY WAS DOING WAS STRAIGHT BLUES, R&B & SOUL WITH SOME BALLADS
    ABOUT 6+ YEARS AGO KARA GRAINGER OPENED FOR ME IN PASADENA, CALIFORNIA
    SHE'S GOT SOME REAL GOOD SONGS, A GREAT VOICE AND SHE CAN PLAY GUITAR WELL
    GO AND SEE HER PLAY SOON

    Cody is a beast, in all senses of a good bassist. I mean Erik picked him out of all the bassist at his disposal. As well as being a humble cat, but to say he’s filling “The immortal Jaco P.’s” shoes??? Come on??? No hating again I’d never put him down as a good player, however do I think he is equivalent to Jaco or Stanley, or anybody who 40 years from now us bassist still trying to figure out how he’s doing the things he does? I dig that Norm gave him those props, but Norm you sat next to Jaco and your a real player you don’t really really think he’s on Jacos. Level do you? Really???

Not to take anything away from this Cody kid hes doing his thing and thats cool and you see it all the time ya cant a find a gig playing guitar and so ya pick up a bass and try your luck at that but to my ears I'm just not hearing him doing anything that would wanna make me put him in the same league as top tier bassist and certainly not Jaco.
