Godfather of the contrabass guitar, and innovator many of the technical features commonly found on many modern style bass guitars. Big respect to you Mr. AJ.
Check out the old eyewitness project stuff with Steve khan . Nominally Steve’s band but a j reigns over all of it . Manolo badrena and the Steve’s are , of course , incredible on them as well . His voicings and the crazy contrabass runs just blew my mind as a young guitar player .
I particularly find Tony Grey even more impressive technically (my favourite Hiromi album is still "Spiral") though but I agree that Anthony Jackson sound is so unique and distinctive and he was even more amazing when he was younger playing with Michel Camilo. My favourite performance of Anthony is precisely in "One more once" Michel Camilo album, he was a beast back then.
@@BlueGlimpser Anthony Jackson is the reason I push myself so hard despite only starting now >50…Played bass a long time but never understood how important reading music can be…I don’t know where I heard. Bassist say it but they described a rest as a palpable piece in the music…simple as that and music sounds different than it ever did…never too old to learn…despite my traumatized brain…
WE would go to every gig. I love AJ. He is one with the instrument. Recorded on 1,000s of albums & hits. Has conviction & beliefs on the bass that are self evident. You would be hard pressed to find someone that has the same love, knowledge,expressiveness,amazing rhythmic concepts, and kick ass mentality on the bass guitar. I can promise you this man will not be duplicated.
Intriguing and exceptional way of accompanying on the bass like very few. I say very few because likewise Abraham Laboriel is also known for his unique accompanying and improvisation approach but as a bassist myself I like to listen more to a certain melodic approach when it comes to soloing, only some bassists like Pipoquinha, Feraud and or Malaman to name a few, truly exhibit this kind of approach on the bass. Nonetheless, Anthony Jackson is legendary in his own way. He has set a footprint in jazz music, his works can be heard on many fundamental (if not, pivotal), modern popular jazz recordings. Yet i lean more to the melodic bebop, avant- garde fusion language improvisation approach. What for example Pastorius does in his solos on havona or Donna Lee intrigues me very much more. A lot of math but also a lot of feel.
@ 1:16 Hiromi gives Anthony and Simon a look about the break that's coming up. @ 1:27 She gives Simon a look that says "Yeah. That was okay". @ 1:29 she makes a mistake, and Anthony notices and gives her a look that kind of says, "Oh. So you play like that? Really?". Hilarious. I always wondered why his head popped up at that spot. This is how the top players talk trash during a performance. Phenomenal musicianship
Whatever the musical status quo was, Anthony was never satisfied with it. He innovated electronics, amplification, bass lines, instruments, techniques, you name it. He belongs at the forefront of bassists, along with Jaco, Jamerson, and Clarke. For innovation, I'd put him at the front.
Some Christians have a bracelet they wear that they look at when they get into a moral conundrum. It says "WWJD" (What Would Jesus Do?). I'm going to get one that I can wear on gigs that says "WWAJD" (What Would Anthony Jackson Do?)
Yes. In taste and execution nobody can touch him. But there's no better example of the qualities that every bassist should aspire to, wouldn't you agree?
11:49 pm from Hiromi's Move album ua-cam.com/video/zEF8a0zvzfw/v-deo.html She also recorded this song in Silver Lining Suite album in piano quintet format ua-cam.com/video/kQ6g7OO0QVk/v-deo.html

1:16 is so inspirational. That passion. I can feel it
Anthony sees so much deeper into each musical situation he is in. Virtuoso is not enough to describe him.

I wish he led his own band. I want to see and hear him featured for an entire set. I’d go to every gig.

I second the motion, he has all the tools, musicality and the facility.
@@ericcollins1824 Crossings and Live in Köln are outstanding examples.
Right On!!
I'm sorry Mr. Jackson i didn't know you are a fucking LIVING LEGEND like that.
The man is a pioneer and i have no absolute clue.
Anthony Jackson is probably the only bassist that could play with Hiromi…she’s insanely amazing. What a duet/duo.

Stanley Clark was actually one of the first to put Hiromi on ...
Don't forget Simon, a musical genius on drums 🙌
Hiromi also enjoys having Hadrien Feraud in her touring band.
The Electric Bass G.O.A.T Anthony Jackson 👊🏿🖤
I love that this band has been going for so long. So totally original. And only 1 Anthony Jackson!
Truly like no other. One and only. AJ!👍🏻

Well said!
I was glad I got a chance to see him play live I thought that would not happen
Real deal
Soo wonderful, my eyes rained and the forrest of my spirit grew.

What a nice thing to wake up and see! AJ rules !
Simply phenomenal!!
Talk about a full sounding bass! Every note is like a ton of bricks
incredible bass musician. of all time. thanks antony
Just outstanding, perfection.
The sound on the Nord at 2:34 reminds me of the intro sax tone on Funkorama by Eddie Harris.
The mother of invention Hiromi elle est le Zappa du piano. 40 ans de 🎹 ceci expliquant cela ☀️ merci d'exister et de nous faire
Du bien

Best drummer Ever!
Yes! I think that's Steve Smith from Journey.
@@KenChawkin bro, the one and only simon phillips
@@6onxza you're right. Thank you!
Strange thing... Immediately, when I saw playing in the first clip, I thought of "Mr. Rogers and the Bass Player (Firesign Theatre). Anyone else?
Amazing
The king !!!!
Holy! This was amazing
The last one with the BiG bass string is superb ❤
Thank you!
His playing is faultless...and the tone! Wow!
True genius
Hello Sir! Thank you for this beautiful material! Please could you share us a link with the whole show? Thank you! Have you very good day today!
thank you very much for this video
HECK YEAH‼️ THANK YOU👍👍👍❣️
Awesome!
Yes Sir 🙏🏽
Great players
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Now she has Hadrien Feraud.. His melodic approach will continue drive her to new heights.
Love to see a pick player workin' it.
He only uses a pick for tone. He plays just as Bad ass with his fingers. I wish I could do that.
Where can I find the full video of the concert?
Some Christians have a bracelet they wear that they look at when they get into a moral conundrum. It says "WWJD" (What Would Jesus Do?).

Chances are that none of us can play whatever Anthony would do…
Yes. In taste and execution nobody can touch him. But there's no better example of the qualities that every bassist should aspire to, wouldn't you agree?
Como se llama la tercera pieza que tocan ?
"Margarita!" de su album "Move". Tremendo temazo, me encanta!

@@BlueGlimpsergracias 😊
Thank you for this amazing post! Whats the name of the first song please?
I think is "Now or never"
Thanks!@@BlueGlimpser
Anuone know the last song.s name?

@BlueGlimpser thanks so much! ♥️✌😊
I didn’t know he played with a pick.
He plays with either fingers or plectrum, depending on what sound he wants.
first song?
Anthony Jackson and Bobby Vega get a pass on playing with a Plectrum
Along with any other bass player that wishes to use one.
@@FortyHurts nope
idk to be honest that sounds like a experienced bassist practising his scales..
Wow! Please publish the venue and date of your next gig! I can’t wait to hear what you’ve got to show us all!
I agree. Just some moderately fast picking scale warm ups. It's not too bad though
Why play such a expensive bass if you are going to make it sound like a wood table?
Better question is: if you can make your wood table sound like Anthony Jackson's bass why aren't you on tour?
I don't like that Sound for a fodera bass. All the rest very nice, armony, rythm, scales, impro etc
@juanpablopatino7707
The mids are really strong and makes this sound like a souped up P bass. For some of the their songs, I think it would have sounded better with a bit more sizzling highs. But that's just me.
Maybe it was the amp set up?
Still sounds good in this setting.
Dude has one of the purest tones on the planet.
Music aside, that is one ugly Barbapapa bass.
That nass player ia overrated.. i dont know why people see it so good, in my opinion he is plain....
I agree! As a person, he is selfish and arrogant 😮
Listen to the album Rendezvous Live by Michel Camilo. Then try and play along with Anthony’s lines… You will see why he’s so well revered. He’s an astonishing bass player. One of the GOATs
Because playing with michel Camilo y hiromi is not an easy thing…
Simon Philips,só a nata.
sux he should play som gojira
