The Bass Walk: Abraham Laboriel
Abraham Laboriel is one of the world’s greatest bass players according to Paul McCartney. A lot of musicians must agree because he is the most recorded bass player of all time. I got Abraham, Pee Wee Hill & some other great musician friends to record this sort of dueling basses jazz funk grove for me so I could capture on video Abe’s amazing talents. The Bass Walk is a tune inspired by a little riff Abe played on a record in the 70’s that has since been sampled and incorporated into dozens of rap songs.

@@armignac It is possible to disable youtube to send the normalized audio stream with its videos and get the streams without normalization. I use the enhanced-h264ify extension for this. It is available for both Chrome and Mozilla based browsers. It makes for a better listening experience. I still long for the audio streams that used to come with the player using Flash. It trumps the ogg codec.
The two bass dudes have other-wordly playing ability! And within the context of the music itself, they're barely even showing off, they're just grooving with it as great bassists so often love to do. This is *extreme* chops, kids :)

They're in love with the music. this is pure magic.
Tears of joy always run down my face every time I watch this video. I just love how they all feel the music. Specially Abe.
This song literally brings back so many memories, though it's just 3 years old, I'm lost and I honestly don't care if I'm ever found!

Reminds me of these old neighbor we used to have. Every weekend, their old friends gather and jam over Barbicue. Them old folks know how to rock! Edit: After a year, I just learned that most of them were retired music teachers and used to play at district meets. The last one of them died yesterday. Mr. Eno, you will surely be missed. You will be rocking with your buddies now.

There's nothing like getting old. ...you gotta love it. ...live with it....enjoy it. There's nothing you can do about it.
Abe is one of kind, truly inspirational!!
Absolutely WONDERFUL to Hadley and Bill in this mix!!!!! Of course, my heart is ALWAYS excited to witness Abraham Sr. playing. When I saw Hadley and Bill with Abraham I started missing Alex Acuna. Would've been a real treat to have Alex there. Boyd Matson, thank you for sharing this priceless piece!!!!
