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
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.
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.
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.
@@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
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!!!
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.
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?
@@Plotani it sounds horrible compared to a flamenco guitar in my opinion. Skill doesn't matter to me as much as musicality. A bass is not a solo instrument, and it never will be.
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.
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
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.
En vous baladant dans les prés du présent, vous pouvez cueillir des bouquets de fleurs folles et improbables, revenir avec de somptueux extraits de ces musiciens sensibles et écorchés et vous dire que vous gagnez parfois du temps à ignorer tant de ces musiques contemporaines redondantes & futiles pour gagner en force et en plénitude 💎🎵🎻
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.
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.
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.
He is not even playing the bass like a bass. A bass is a rhythmic instrument. It was never designed to sound like this. It actually sounds very weak at some points, kinda like tapping on a guitar without distortion. Some parts sound cool, but a bass is not for melody and treble notes and flamenco strumming.
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 just looked it up and the first mobile phone with camcorder was brought to the market in 2003 as well 😂
I thouth the same thing. I was very surprised when I looked at the year.
That's what I'm saying

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
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.
same
I'm just gonna throw my bass out the window brb
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
The first time I heard Stanley Clarke (years ago), I was IMPRESSED!
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.

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..

Haha no

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.
whoa! what a gifted percussionist this man is as well. and what a remarkable shredding technique!
A truly unbelievable artist who has fascinated me for decades.Always puts a huge smile on my face to hear him perform.👏👏👏👏👏👏
Stanley's amazing artistry uplifts all aspects of this recorded performance from close to 20 years ago.
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.
the fact that he did this with his eyes closed...wow
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
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
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! 👏
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!!!
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.
Very thankful I was able to see Stanley in concert twice. He is total class
The masters can really manipulate the tools and instruments they use just wow amazing.
RIDICULOUSLY SICK
Wow! That is something. makes a person's day so much better for hearing it and seeing it.
the pressure to even handle such an instrument must be intense. The first half was definitely moving too👌😮
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?
Well, it looks like an upright bass but is.... SPANISH GUITAR lol!
in spanish guitar the fingers hit with the nail face,reverse.
Exactly hahah remineds me Paco de Lucia and this kind of technique
Double bass flamenco
@@Plotani it sounds horrible compared to a flamenco guitar in my opinion. Skill doesn't matter to me as much as musicality. A bass is not a solo instrument, and it never will be.
Do u mean a classical guitar
this is amazing! Love his style and his musicality
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!

Hand Stanley any stringed instrument and he'll master it. So fantastic, thanks for posting.
That's a classic. All Love!
Just awesome! One of the best Solos i have ever seen!
Mr. Stanley is exquisite 🤗👏🏾🤩
seeing and listening him from a few steps away did worth for me coming to America
It's wild and honest. I love this feeling, it's beautiful.
I can feel his emotions on the bass. Really its a philosophy
Isn't he perfect! Thank you, Stanley!
When he started slapping that bass i swear my heart stopped
Stunning, made all the better by the collective wincing of thousands of orchestral bass players...
Simply undisputed supreme bassist of all...
👏👏👏👏💪💪💪👍🙏☝️
BRAVO!!!...
God bless you all 🇧🇷🇺🇸🙏☝️!
What a great great great musician !!
Apparently, when this amazing man has a bass in his hands, the laws of physics are suspended.
Einfach es ist ein Genuss sich das an zu hören..m.f.G
Still love Stanley in 2019...

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
Great musician! Great Bass player.
There is so much to learn as an upright player just by watching this ... thanks so much for posting! And thanks SC!
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.
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.
Just remember, Stanley Clarke supplies all your funky needs. 😎
With his eyes closed folks wow I have seen him 3 times the best

The G.O.A.T.
The slapping/percussive rhythm starting at 3:55 is NUTS 🔥 masterful
Yeah! It sounds like a goat skin Moroccan hand drum
"I'll be needing every bass amp manufacturer onstage, and while you're at it, make it two of everything"
Pinnacle of bass playing

He is the best with technique.
Unsurpassed
his eyes were closed practically the whole solo? AmAzing!
So great! One of my hero's
3:51 he looks like he is gonna sneeze 😂😂
This can't be real...sooo good.
one of my favorite for 10 years :)
I like it.
Wow Stanley...you are incredible! From jerrye.
People on reddit: "bass solos are boring"
This guy: "eat this!“
If they really love music as they say they should know that not even 1 instrument solo is boring.. ever. So yeah, eat this!
but muh neely
I never saw Neely criticizing bass

otherworldly that is Stanley Clarke that upright is Killer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I could not believe it was over
This doesn't look like it was videoed in 2003. It has a much more modern HDTV look.
just see his depth of involvement ,,,,,,,,pouring his soul in instrument,,,,
wow blew me away!!!
I never knew an upright could do that. Is blown away!
Grande performance!
i love the music
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)
"Simply" the master at work !!!
Ребята,ну как ТАКОЕ возможно..???Это космос какой-то...
