xilddx Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 These kids are amazing. I love what they do. Their arrangements are stunning and they seem to instinctively know exactly what floats a lot of boats. He's got a cracking voice too. Quote
JakeBrownBass Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Love their stuff, some great arrangements of pop tunes Quote
xilddx Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I must have listened to this over ten times tonight, and although the bass solo is superb in every way, that's when I stop the vid and start it from the beginning, so I can hear those glorious keys chords, drums, vocals and bass underpinning the song so beautifully. f*** knows why bassists feel the need to solo, it ruins the experience. It's a horrible instrument for soloing. Quote
Chris Horton Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 These guys are amazing !!!!!!!! The bass solo is flawless , I love it Quote
BB3000S Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) How on earth is it possible to do those lightning quick runs? I'm utterly amazed. They clearly are awesome musicians, but I'm either getting to old or have overdosed through the years (or both) for this - sadly I have to say it does not move me or touch me at all. Have nothing but the utmost respect for their skill and dedication though, hats off! Edited December 20, 2011 by BB3000S Quote
xilddx Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Can someone tell me what the first intro chord is at 0:02 ? ie. bass, keys, vox. What chord does it imply? If you can give me that chorus sequence in chords, and the scale and scale tones of each chord, you will help me understand some serious sh*t! I can't even hear the key centre really, is it something like E minor modulating to G sharp minor? I can't stop listening to this damn thing. My bloody dinner is going cold! Quote

I have to say what stuns me is the Henrik's note choices in the choruses, they are everything I've ever wanted to play on a bass. That's why like Scott Thunes so much, deep romantic attachment to the bass, underpinned by deep theoretical knowledge and exposure to amazing music to educate the ears and make music people laugh and weep to. This is the first piece of music I've heard in quite some time that has given me a massive rush and made me laugh and sing and dance in my kitchen Edited December 20, 2011 by silddx Quote
xilddx Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Finally having dinner, but in my kitchen with headphones on watching this on my Mac Quote
NJE Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Well Im just off to snap the neck on my bass and cut my hands off, because compared to that its all I deserve for my crimes against music...... Quote

Of course all been done before back in the 80's with the likes of Jeff Lorber, Bobby Lyle and others, But with this band using the vocal approach, adds a great touch. Garry Quote

It's obvious they're having a lot of fun doing what they do and I respect the fact they're bringing Jazz to a wider audience by mixing it with the plastic pop sounds, but it's not for me. A lot of respect for them though as they're very talented guys. But give me this lot anyday:[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-IlUFgEVW4"] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-IlUFgEVW4[/url] Quote

geoffbassist Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 I love this video. Killer groove and solo! Such a great feel. Quote
BottomE Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Thats very cool. Never heard of them but i am instantly a fan. I like the bass solo as i didn't see it coming and it don't last too long. Very melodic. Quote
