A little bit of Abe Laboriel love...

Came across this Lee Ritenour video posted on Facebook today. Never seen it before but I think that it absolutely epitomises why Abe Laboriel Sr has always been one of my absolute favourite bass players. Playing totally in the pocket and utterly for the tune. And then when he does step forward for his solo he still stays totally musical and holds down the groove - even in the most over-the-top 8 bars of the climax of the solo.

Such an accomplished and tasteful player - whether backing some jazzers, walking the bass for Donald Fagen, being soulful for Michael McDonals, playing on a movie soundtrack (he's done some stunning playing on recent Disney sound tracks - Zootropolis and, yes, even the dreaded Frozen!) or indulging himself (tastefully) on his solo work.

Love, love, love this!
