I'm impressed that she's playing so fast, yet not walking on the rest of the instruments. It's one thing to play fast, it's another to do so in a way that organically fits in the song.

Professional jazz musician... She could play in any funkband with the best in the world

Man I feel you on this one, as a fellow bassist my mind is blown, she is incredible! Sometimes "fast" doesn't mean "better," but in her case it is so beautiful

The thing about her that makes the fast playing so palatable is you can hear and feel the simple melody she outlines with accents and dynamics. It’s 100% in the dynamics. She Also always remembers that fast doesn’t need loud. Fast rythm and loud sound is so much stimulation

The notes are also really clear, which helps because fast playing can become muddy really fast, and I hate that. I know that's a low bar, but some guys get really tryhard when they buy a five string bass.

She's magnificent. She really lives and loves the Greatest Instrument Ever Devised and it's just amazing what she's already capable of. She's only going to get better and continue to blow our minds. That was the 1st 5-string upright I've seen. Hm. I have nothing at all against basses with more than the usual 4 strings... however... I just plain ol' love the 4 traditional strings and have never felt a need for more. The Bass is already perfect as God made it, with 4 mighty strings.

Unpopular opinion but I tend to agree; I see a lot of these type of clips of female musicians and a seemingly disproportionate number of them seem to be wearing skimpy tops or sometimes it looks like they’re just wearing a bra. Which is unfortunate really because a lot of them are genuinely talented musicians but their talent seems to be overshadowed by the amount of skin showing.
