Speaking of which, you have to get one of her partners in groove, the Da Vinci of drums, Vinnie Colaiuta. He’s playing with her and the great Jeff Beck. Awesome that you’re interested in music & you play guitar? Thanks for all the awesome interviews Lex. 🍻

Thank you for sharing your experience with grief. It's something we all must face in life. I'm working on my journey with loosing my 17 year old son 2 years ago. I agree with you that as hard as it is, you have to sit with it and experience it in order to process it. Loosing my brother and father 2 years prior prepped me in knowing how to navigate such a huge loss. I don't get out much, so it's comforting to hear another souls journey through this test in life. Thank you for sharing your experience. It helped PS It was my dad that introduced me to Jeff Beck. .. my parents loved music and have gifted me with that love. I believe in the magic that surrounds all of us... it's real. Thank you for giving it a voice for others to hear❤ Much love to you 🙏🤍

I met her at the NAMM show about ten or eleven years ago and she was SO damn cool. She was at the booth of a boutique bass amp company. She had a long line in front of her waiting for autographs and she continued patiently signing them long after "last call" was announced. I was one of the last dozen people to meet with her - about 45 minutes after the last call announcement was made by by her handlers. ...and she still treated me like I was the first person she'd met that day. (I also got to see her perform with Jeff at one of the epic after-parties that night.) I still have her autographed picture hanging in my music shop here on the Big Island of Hawaii. That year I met Eddie Kramer, Phil X, Vinnie Paul, Jim Root, Billy Gibbons, Robby Krieger, Rudy Sarzo and a bunch of other guitar legends, but I still consider my short meeting with Tal to be one of the highlights of that trip. They say "never meet your heroes" but after 30+ years in the industry, I've only found that to be half true. Some of the most down to earth and humble people I've met have been legends like Tal.

If you haven't seen Jeff Beck Live at Ronnie Scott's, its a MUST-WATCH regardless of what kind of music you enjoy. Tal, Vinnie Colaiuta, and Jason Rebello back up some of Jeff's best live work ever captured on film. Joss Stone and Imogen Heap stop by for some guest vocal spots. The who's-who of music royalty are in the audience. The laughs, the smiles, the banter, the solos....its epic.

I have questions about some of the interactions between Jeff and Tal. Questions like "What so funny" (at various times including the way Jeff ended Brush With the Blues at 2007 Crossroads) & "What was going on with that table at Ronnie Scott's during stratus? Was it just that they were groovin' or a pick up suggestion? That guy was cute and Tal's eyebrows did that quick up thing" IDK.
What an amazing person. The world needs more people like her
I've seen and listened to a lot of podcasts, but this might be my favorite episode of all time. I was tearing up at the end. The conversation and the music at the end somehow pulled the right strings in me. Lex, Tal, i love you. The world needs more people like you.

I'm loving her confidence, she's really cool. Another great conversation
Its a real jam when the artists you love are also thoughtful, articulate, humble, and funny. Her last line about watching you play chess with yourself was a great cap to a very fine episode. Thanks for giving the world more time with Tal.

Only 14 min in and so impressed with her total beauty, deep wisdom, transparency, intelligence, openness, and I can go on and on. She is a pure, beautiful expression. 😊 Only 15 min in and one of the best pods I've seen in so long.
I think anybody can appreciate her bass playing, it's just spot on! But I'd never heard her speak or sing before. I'm even more impressed. The advice of practicing in your head vs with your instrument is something I loved
I already loved this channel but now I love it more. Tal is one of the world's premier bassists in my opinion.
An absolutely iconic performance with Jeff beck , she is an incredible bassist. I was surprised and thankful that you interviewed her!
Here we have a very subtle and sophisticated intellect. So much more than just a gifted musician.
Tal auditioned for my band when she was about 17. She came into the room and we thought it was going to be rough because she looked like an out of place kid. And then she absolutely KILLED IT. We were all laughing after the first song finished because she blew away the 20 bass players who auditioned before her. We had a spec deal with a label so it was a 'join the band' type gig that didn't immediately pay. We offered her the gig but she needed to finish music school first and was really looking to make some needed money so she had to decline. We told her best of luck, keep at it and she'll get somewhere for sure. A few years later I saw her playing with Jeff Beck and texted the guy her brought her for the audition. I asked if he remembered if her name was Tal. He said yes. I said dude, she's playing with Jeff Beck. He said, well, we knew she was amazing. She was an amazing player, super nice and gracious. So happy for her.
Lex, hell of an interview! ❤ Music is a substantial part of our everyday lives. More episodes like this! Thank you❤

What an amazing musician Tal Wilkenfeld is! Her greatness is not only her creativity and talent with her music, but it is that she is able to recognize what's real and what's play through her spiritual practices. I'm glad to learn about her in this episode. Thank you Lex for this beautiful addition! Love it a lot.❤
Tal, I always thought you were a great bass player and your first CD just floored me. The maturity in your playing the compositions...and you were so young. It is wonderful to find out a little bit about who you are as a person. I loved this interview. You are thoughtful, quick and wise way beyond your years. You will also be somebody's mentor, I'm sure of that.
When I watched the Crossroads Festival performance for the first time, I was surprised by how confident, relaxed, and mature of a player Tal was - especially given her young age. I'd be terrified to be in the same room with Jeff and Vinnie. She was like "Right on. Let's do this." Lol !!! Inspiring.

@@pant0sand0hat No, actually, but he was the first musician that came to mind. Weird Al has always been a bit out of the mainstream, and didn't have big success until a couple of decades into his musical career. I think Lex could draw some serious discussion out of him, as Al is a bit light-hearted in shorter formats. Al is 64 now, and in his last concert tour he has been reflective in his commentary and song choice, and I think he has stuff to say outside of his stage persona.

This is the most random collaboration but such a joyful one! I have listened to Tal for years and was super excited to see her appear on Lex's podcast.
I LOVE what she said about Confidence and Trust. I am often put off by what many people refer to as “confidence”. Only because it does NOT feel like confidence to me. It feels like insecurity armored with false bravado. Trust feels like a much nicer term to fill that space.

The Ronnie Scott's gig makes me cry. Great solo there too, Tal.
I was at the 2007 Crossroads festival with my then 17 yr old blues loving daughter. The whole day was amazing, but the Jeff Beck set was beyond magical. First time my daughter and I had ever seen Tal, my daughter laughed saying Tal looked about 15. We were in the upper stands near the stage, and could look down into the ball field where everyone, all day long was milling around during the day. During Jeff’s set, I happened to look down at the field, and almost no one was moving. The crowd, including us, were literally entranced by the music, and the conversation between the musicians. Most sets were only 1/2 hour long, but Jeff and Tal played for an hour. It was one of the most amazing, enriching, magical concert experiences i have ever had, and I’ve been going to them since the early 70’s. Tal Wilkinson is an amazing musician, but more than that, she is wise beyond her years, an old soul if you will, with heart and soul shining through her music. Wonderful interview, thank you.
27:46 sounds like an insiders grace among famous people, to be relieved to not have someone obsess on you and tell you they think of you all the time, and guilt tripping you for the disappointment of not having expectations fulfilled
Oh my god, I'm so glad you had Tal on... I have been madly in love with her since I first saw her play with Jeff several times in the late 2000s. Jeff is one of a kind, and it's very fitting that she was who he chose to play with. I have watched/listened to you from the beginning, and this I think is my first comment. You are amazing.
I was 15 when Jeff Beck’s Blow by Blow album hit the record stores. It changed my life. I didn’t know you could play music in so many different time signatures. A year later Jeff played at the Palace Theater in Waterbury Connecticut. He played with Jan Hammer. I’ve been following Jeff’s career since then and all of his band members careers also. Tal is part of that golden thread.
Dude's a clear example of how applying dhamma practice to every moment keeps the mind/conditioning in check. She's real, matter of fact, and just keeps saying true and therefore wise things. Awesome.
Jeff Beck live at Ronnie Scott's concert might be the best band performance by anyone, ever. Thank you Lex, this is a treat. Now if you can just get Tom Waits...

What a delightful surprise to see Tal Wilkenfeld on the show. Been a fan ever since the Crossroads performance with Jeff Beck. Tal is a phenomenal talent, a phenomenal soul. I loved listening to you two chopping it up. Lots of interesting subject matter. Really enjoyed it.
I don’t know what I was expecting, but Tal is so much more intelligent and deep than anyone else I know. I wish I had a community like this to be a part of.
Tal, That's one of the best bass solos ever! Jeff obviously knew you were amazing and enjoyed having his mind blown watching and listening you. I'll never forget that moment. I saw Anthony in NYC at Seventh Ave South back when I lived there. He had the best feel of anybody I'd ever seen.
"Next you're gonna tell me they're just actors" lmao! Best. Lex. Reaction. Ever.
I have Tal's first album titled 'Transformation', I actually ordered for the CD when it came out. It's one of the most musical albums I've ever heard (and I've heard/had/listened to lots of albums). That band was incredible. By citing my favorite/Electric Bass G.O.A.T Anthony Jackson as her mentor, I now like her even more 😎 Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤
I'm such a great fan of Tal Wilkenfeld ever since i discovered her. No doubt she is such an extraordinary talent. I thought this session with Lex would essentially revolve around her music - the technicalities industry life on the road and such like.. But she surprised me with her maturity and depth as a person. She is so well read in the mystical texts. Now i know where the music in her comes from. It's from her soul that she diligently serves through her various spiritual practices. She is a much needed example to young upcoming musicians on how to have a complete and satisfying life, integrating music into their whole life , not letting it be just a part that fills a hole, helps gain social attention and serves to pay the bills .. Bravo Tal !!
Tal, years ago I saw the Jeff beck performance and cried!!! I sent it to all my friends and family. what a great interview. your an even more incredible person!! same goes for you too lex!
Her voice is beautiful.
Tal is one of those very special people who wants to make great music. Keep plucking Tal we love you.🎼🙏🌹🌹🥰
Absolutely awesome interview, thank you for being so open, Tal. I resonate so much with your mindset and approach to both music and life. You have such an eloquent way of describing it all. And your voice is very soothing, I can feel it coming from a purely authentic place. You are a fearless and beautiful soul!

What an AMAZING human being! Thank you so very much for this interview! Always loved her work, now totally in love with her as a spiritual person 🙏
Tal you are so genuine. I love everything about you. Thank You so much for the joy you're playing has brought to me. But more importantly thank you for the joy you brought to Jeff. I've seen Jeff at least 20 times in my life and his happiness on stage comes from the people he pushes to another level and the people who push him as well. You and Vinnie with Jason made Jeff so happy. I've never seen it to that level with anyone else. I'm glad he was able to feel that joy with what I believe to be the best quartet ever. Thank You And God Bless
My goodness, this is a tremendous interview, and my favorite. Tal is a lovely, dynamic, talented, and deep human being. I was in awe the whole time. Thank you for this conversation, Lex. ❤
Good heavens what a special treat this was. Tal is amazing but the two of you bantering amazing as well. Thanks so much. Now I gotta go practice my guitar❤!!!
No way!!!! One of my favourite bass players. Very refreshing
I've always known that bass players are shy, smart and underappreciated underdogs on (and off) stage. But Tal literally blew my mind with this spiritual, and yet down to earth experience, in under 2h. 👏
Is it normal for musicians to have this kind of darkness and love? I have loved so many of these lex conversations; this one hits on the heart strings.

“If you’re not living on the edge, you’re taking up too much room “. Tal lives that.

Thank you for this inspiring Tal's advice to walk toward your fears is epic. Tal's observation that there's nothing to fear when performing music is very helpful. Lex more music and arts interviews, please. Your love of the arts comes through and is important.
What a beautiful conversation with so many pearls of wisdom throughout - Thank you Lex and Tal for this.
Im so in awe by the range of things the hands can do, the same hand can create a beautiful symphony, heal, or destroy. I absolutely love it when used for good.

I’m so grateful for people like you, who take the risks to do the hard and painstaking work to bring people like me this precious gift. This is where I find inspiration, validation and comfort. We all have the struggle, some more than others, and yearn for purpose… more from life. I love how you explore this in your work. And with the utmost respect and humility. You’re a rare gem.
What an incredibly insightful conversation….just brilliant! Thank you both for this genius!🙏🏻
Wow this was a delightful conversation Her depth of thinking and clarity is amazing, so much to learn from her!
This conversation was just amazing. What a true diamond! We need more guests like Tal. Because she has deep insights, wisdom, and Love. Nowadays, spirituality is neglected although it is being essential. I am grateful.
Thank you so much for consistently putting out fantastic content. Great guest, awesome conversation, phenomenal music!
Wow Lex. Thank you for this. Your musician viewers are so thankful.
The wisdom Tal speaks without judgement is priceless.
Thank you for bringing her on the show! What a great spirit!
Awesome. I've been in awe of Tal since her first CD. She's a rocker... I dug this interview a lot. Thank you, Lex. Thank you, Tal.
Just yesterday i was seeing the live with Jeff Beck and now she is on your podcast. Life is funny sometimes

A glimpse of the glue that holds it all together.❤️🌹j.
Great conversation. I came across Tal via Jeff Beck and have always appreciated what she’s brought to what I’ve heard her involved in. But now I feel the need to descend further into the Tal musical rabbit hole. Such a lovely soul, and it’s so pleasing to be part of this conversation where two genuinely thoughtful and beautiful people appreciate each other so much.
So good to see Tal on here Lex She’s an absolute wonderful player ! Intuitive and fearless ! graceful and a note choice second to none
Thank you for keeping hope and real conversation alive, Lex.
I love Tal Wilkenfeld! She was one of my early influences as a bass player.
Beautiful. This is one of my favorite interviews I’ve ever seen about music. Thank you.
Wow. What a fantastic woman. Such a special podcast. I just loved how I was so able to connect to her. Obviously, her life and the talents she has developed that has made her an amazing musician. It has also, first and foremost, made her an intriguing person. So much depth, openness, and wisdom. How lucky to have been a part of the magic here at this moment in time. Music is such an amazing thing. And it's nice to get to understand that part of this. But anyone would be able to learn and grow in such a way bigger part than just the music. Tal is such a huge person. One of the most touching experiences I've had in a minute. Great job, both of you. Thanks so much
