Well... just a normal professional camera, we are so spoiled by our smartphones these days... I just looked it up and the first mobile phone with camcorder was brought to the market in 2003 as well 😂
@@Breakbeat90s Yeah, nothing surprising considering that there was a digital camera in 1995 that could produce similar HD footage. And before that, there was also high-quality film-based video which can now be converted to modern digital mediums. Some good examples of high-quality film can be seen in the Beatles' music videos.
I started playing electric bass in 1965 when I was 13 and made a career of touring and recording since 1974. I didn't pick up an upright bass until 1999. That said, after seeing Stanley play an upright as well as he plays an electric, it just reconfirms the man's genius and extraordinary ability. He is a true inspiration to any bass player! Cheers
Magical, and the grandest acoustic bass player on the planet. When it comes to upright bass players, there's SC and then everybody else. No question, he's the GOAT, and always a joy to hear and watch him perform. Imagine this, he's playing a full-sized acoustic bass like it's a toy. Incredible, whereas when the day comes, his bass should be donated to The Smithsonian Institute for historical significance, for there is, was, and always will be only one SC.
@@RSTI191 👏 you have understood very well. it's a human born demon🤘, it's horrible. But a sad reality. go to see a channel of Emmanuel abeté, he explain very well that it .
his face says it all. IM not a religious man, yet His God is playing through him. In school, people have asked me "Who's the best bassist" Its not a competition. I barely could play but the guitarist Paul Zep always had (keep up the good work) id only played two notes. Wherever yer at Paulie, thx
Stanley has such a distinct sound and approach. I'm such a fan of his electric bass work that I sometimes take for granted the monster he is on upright bass. Killer.
One of the supreme virtuosos of the bass, both electric and upright. I once saw him live in London and his solo at that gig actually made cry tears of pure joy.
He's the reason WHY I started to play upright in the first place. He was doing things I didn't THINK upright players can do. Then you got John Pattituchi, Christian McBride, Brian Bromberg, Bunny Brunnel, and not to forget the old timers, Ron Carter, Paul Chambers, Jimmy Garrison, Scott LaFaro, and the rest of the masters of the instrument. Awesome performance!😎
@@squidwardtortillini8816 Why? A pro camera is a pro camera. Lots of films you watch today were shot in cameras made in the 90s. We’ve been really good at this for a long time.
This is the first instrument I ever played!! Man I wish I knew it could be played in such a melodic manner...Those years of orchestral music really dampened my imagination I see....This shit I'm watching is amazing!!!
Clarke is brilliant. My old therapist was also a jazz bassist for over 70 years. Combo performance in Detroit and backing singers. She met Stan Getz, the saxophonist, in a hotel once and I asked her did she Getz anything out of it?
Flats on an ebony board through a big hollow body bass violin. Tone is absolutely killer. Sound is all about the fingers and touch. Stanley probably was playing for about forty years in 2003.
Bill Wyman once said “he was the quietest guy in the room, but the loudest onstage” You see a few brief moments where we slightly smiles, then goes back to the serious look he often had when playing.
And that was on his upright, his little Alembic probably gets even more crazy slapping... Stanley Clarke has been one of my favorites since I was learning to play bass back in high school in the 70's. Yeah, he's still got it!
Soy Contrabajista (Principiante diría yo) y dentro de poco debo de hacer un solo para un evento; decidí revisar internet y me encontré con esto... Me ha dejado sin palabras; GRANDE este músico, indescriptible su manejo con el instrumento, acaba de darme una enorme inspiración, ahora aspiro a algún día poder llegar aunque sea a sus talones.
Shame on me I saw this earlier on You Tube. But I did not appreciate Stanley Clarke playing the upright. I love any musician that can play the upright. This time I guess my mood was different the first time I watched this. I said when it was finished is over. This was wonderful. Thank you Jazz on MV.

I've been playing bass for 42 years and I can't do that....and sadly, I never will. But I still love to play and will never stop. I can play some Jaco and Stanley Clarke stuff, but no way can I play what he just did on an upright bass like that. Guys like Stanley and Jaco are in the upper echelon.
Spectacularly skillful! Amazing display of virtuosity! Stan is still man. Brian Bromberg was the only other bassist I ever saw slap a Upright bass like an electric bass.
I'm sitting here watching and listening in awe & envy wishing I had even a portion of those skills... this generation today hasn't the slightest clue as to what REAL MUSICIANSHIP is as what's being played before us in this very video. This man is telling a story with his fingers through a beautiful instrument without uttering a single word, and it's not just about KNOWING how to play the instrument, but in fact making his audience FEEL it, take it in and making the story he's telling their own... THIS is how you can differentiate the REAL MUSICIANS from the talentless noise makers that we NOW hear being played in rotation on our local radio stations... I'm certain that musicians such as Count, Duke, Chick Webb, Miles, Ella and countless other greats would be proud.
Are we not going to acknowledge that this was recorded in 2003 and looks amazing?
Well... just a normal professional camera, we are so spoiled by our smartphones these days...

I thouth the same thing. I was very surprised when I looked at the year.

I said the same damn thing!! 😂😂😂
@@Breakbeat90s either way it's more rare to see this high quality in a video from this long ago which is what makes it surprising
If you understand what I'm talking about... Thanks God I found it. Thanks God we have ppl like this. Can't express the happiness of listening it.
One of my favourite musical performances. I'll never get bored of watching it.

Spot on Bob.
I started bass just less than five years after you.
I played upright but never as finely as this.
Then again, I'm not alone.
can you recommend some good tab books?
Darn tooting, I'd say you're getting old there buddy

Yep, fell to earth from space in a pod. No human can do that. LMAO WTF did I just watch? Stanley, you will always be the GOAT.
the fact that he did this with his eyes closed...wow
The first time I heard Stanley Clarke (years ago), I was IMPRESSED!
RIDICULOUSLY SICK
One supremely talented individual.
This man is a master
Saw him live years ago twice.
Small club, I recorded it on cassette- bootleg.
The man isn't human..
H
Haha no

Wow my first thought... Thank you.
Stanley has such a distinct sound and approach. I'm such a fan of his electric bass work that I sometimes take for granted the monster he is on upright bass. Killer.
And he's just as articulate on either. The first time I tried to slap an upright I thought I broke my thumb.
Awesome musician
One of the supreme virtuosos of the bass, both electric and upright. I once saw him live in London and his solo at that gig actually made cry tears of pure joy.
his eyes were closed practically the whole solo? AmAzing!

You forgot Ray Brown and Neil’s Henning Orsted Peterson. 😀🍷👍
@@mgjcfp Yep, Ray Brown was the meat and potatoes bass player of that era.
Marc Johnson
@@Mr._Bassman97Definietly Marc Johnson.
It was a poem, driven on the 150w AC. I can only be happy of those who heard it live.
Thanks gods such a man is possible to have among us.
I can’t believe the quality of the video is THIS good! This was 17 years ago!
@@squidwardtortillini8816
Why? A pro camera is a pro camera. Lots of films you watch today were shot in cameras made in the 90s. We’ve been really good at this for a long time.
whoa! what a gifted percussionist this man is as well. and what a remarkable shredding technique!
Stanley's amazing artistry uplifts all aspects of this recorded performance from close to 20 years ago.
I saw Stanley on his 21st birthday in Austin,Texas. George Duke also appeared. I've never been the same after that. Simply amazing! 😀✌
I never have this much to say on any instrument I play. This is poetry thank you Stanley
That's a classic. All Love!
A truly unbelievable artist who has fascinated me for decades.Always puts a huge smile on my face to hear him perform.👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is the first instrument I ever played!! Man I wish I knew it could be played in such a melodic manner...Those years of orchestral music really dampened my imagination I see....This shit I'm watching is amazing!!!

She met Stan Getz, the saxophonist, in a hotel once and I asked her did she Getz anything out of it?
20 years ago I was his driver at a festival.. he was really friendly
The great stanley clarke! Its an honor.
I didn’t even know you could play a bass like that damn! 👏
Very thankful I was able to see Stanley in concert twice. He is total class
Flats on an ebony board through a big hollow body bass violin. Tone is absolutely killer. Sound is all about the fingers and touch. Stanley probably was playing for about forty years in 2003.
The masters can really manipulate the tools and instruments they use just wow amazing.
Wow! That is something. makes a person's day so much better for hearing it and seeing it.
Stunning, made all the better by the collective wincing of thousands of orchestral bass players...
There is so much to learn as an upright player just by watching this ... thanks so much for posting! And thanks SC!
Bill Wyman once said “he was the quietest guy in the room, but the loudest onstage”
You see a few brief moments where we slightly smiles, then goes back to the serious look he often had when playing.
Hand Stanley any stringed instrument and he'll master it. So fantastic, thanks for posting.
Mr. Stanley is exquisite 🤗👏🏾🤩
this is amazing! Love his style and his musicality
the pressure to even handle such an instrument must be intense. The first half was definitely moving too👌😮
And that was on his upright, his little Alembic probably gets even more crazy slapping...
Stanley Clarke has been one of my favorites since I was learning to play bass back in high school in the 70's. Yeah, he's still got it!
Einfach es ist ein Genuss sich das an zu hören..m.f.G

God bless you all 🇧🇷🇺🇸🙏☝️!
I'm just gonna throw my bass out the window brb
lol 😂
What a great great great musician !!
Isn't he perfect! Thank you, Stanley!
When he started slapping that bass i swear my heart stopped
Just remember, Stanley Clarke supplies all your funky needs. 😎

It's wild and honest. I love this feeling, it's beautiful.
Simply undisputed supreme bassist of all...

seeing and listening him from a few steps away did worth for me coming to America
Just awesome! One of the best Solos i have ever seen!
I can feel his emotions on the bass. Really its a philosophy
4:39 ...now THAT is how you slap a bass
How do you slap a Upright Bass with the virtuosity of Victor Wooten?
slappa da bass mayn
The slapping/percussive rhythm starting at 3:55 is NUTS 🔥 masterful
Yeah! It sounds like a goat skin Moroccan hand drum
The G.O.A.T.
The man the myth the genius
Senior maestro Mr thunder thumbs
What a please it is to see you dominating the impossible 🙏
Thank you we bow from our highest self to your highest mastery of self
Still love Stanley in 2019...
Hi
100 prevalence pals West Side Story Andre Previn and Pals West Side Story
band really clouded my vision as to what music really is, it’s an art and not just to play what’s on the page (ik it’s odv but still)
He is the best with technique.
Unsurpassed
Pinnacle of bass playing
Great musician! Great Bass player.
With his eyes closed folks wow I have seen him 3 times the best
I've been playing bass for 42 years and I can't do that....and sadly, I never will.
But I still love to play and will never stop.

So great! One of my hero's
Perfect soloing that double bass!!
Apparently, when this amazing man has a bass in his hands, the laws of physics are suspended.
This can't be real...sooo good.
Beautiful playing. :)
He did amazing ! Even tho it’s in 2003 it’s still very good ! If I did that my fingers would break lol 😂
Also who is watching this in 2023 ? 🎉🎉
This was from his first solo album, Children of Forever. Released in 1973.
The master!! On upright and electric.Perfect intonation
wow blew me away!!!
Masterpiece... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Spectacularly skillful!
Amazing display of virtuosity!
Stan is still man.
Brian Bromberg was the only other bassist I ever saw slap a Upright bass like an electric bass.
just see his depth of involvement ,,,,,,,,pouring his soul in instrument,,,,
How many people here like this and aren't quite sure why...?
Ich rhöre es jeden rtag und isrrt bei meiner lieblings playlist

Double bass. Such an underestimated powerhouse.

Living legend...
This guy is incredible.
I could not believe it was over
Almost 20 years ago. Crazy
"I'll be needing every bass amp manufacturer onstage, and while you're at it, make it two of everything"
I never knew an upright could do that. Is blown away!
Really amazing.. superb artist ♥️✌️

Pure WITCHCRAFT! Stanley is simply magical. There may be someone that can come along and play AS well...but no one can be better!
Living legend.
No man... He's a god.... He used to play with angels with harps ... God sent him down to teach good music to mankind
otherworldly that is Stanley Clarke that upright is Killer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
