Hi Chris, you are absolutely right! Scott Lafaro was maybe the first modern bass player. The Bill Evans Record 'Portrait in Jazz' changed everything. In my first script I had Lafaro in it. As I decided to shorten the video I took him out. But he was a genius, a phenomenon.
Nice video and great playing Sascha :) Not taking away anything from the greatness of Hadrien Feraud and Avishai Cohen but an interesting thing to note is that this kind of playing might not even be that recent or "modern". As often mentioned Scott Lafaro really broke out from the standard bass comping already back in the late 1950s. There is a great video on youtube by Cole Davis "Scott Lafaros melodic genius explained". Its mind blowing, more so considering how young Scott Lafaro was and that he had only been playing bass for a couple of years.
Very cool playing and I really dig your tone. It's all a bit advanced for me still, but very inspirational! Do you have any good resources for modal/chordal drones to be used for such exercises?? Thx!
@@SaschaOnBass Yes, I can see how that was not very well worded... I realize that drones are mainly on one note (e.g., C), but sometimes there are chordal drones that drone on a chord (surprise 😁), but those are rare. I was just wondering whether you know of good places to find, e.g., droning dominant chords to practice melodic minor modes over (as described in one of your other videos)? Of course, instead of drones, these could just as well be one-chord backing tracks with drums, I guess. Maybe I'll have to make them myself 🤔 Thanks!

Thanx Man. I am not sure what you mean by "modal/chordal drones". Especially "Drones" in that context.
