Dane Alderson solo on Brown Sugar by D'Angelo

[stonecoldbass]

Hey guys,
Been a big fan of Dane's playing since I saw him at the Victor Wooten clinic in Melbourne a few years back and then also saw him tearing it up at a jam session during the jazz fest.
Here he is giving an absolute master class in soloing but keeping the pocket. And he's playing what looks like a Pino sig bass (might not be though) instead of his usual 'fusionesque' Pavel Custom.
Utterly amazing I think!

Dane is a really impressive player, he's one of the very very few bass players who can keep me interested in a bass solo for over 10 seconds!

Yes very cool, but tasteful with it. Thanks fer that

Yes, some very nice tight playing there, some definite Tribe Called Quest'- 'Check the Rhime' going on in the mix too there.

Wow.

[geoffbassist]

Amazing. So well paced and compelling thoughout.

Thanks for sharing.

It's pace and structure remind me a little of the solo on Everything is Everything.

I thought so too, the tone isn't that far away either considering the quality of the recording in the vid.

Yeh well spotted. Both are real master classes in improv. The Everything is Everything wasnt one take though and was spliced together from different nights of the tour.

I thought the the seperate songs on "Live" were taken from two different nights, not seperate parts of each song as it were, especially snipets of "that" solo being spliced and joined together. Surely not ?

I know it sounds unlikely but I'm pretty sure that the solo was spliced post production. I think it was in the Bass Player mag which had the full transcription of the track. I could be wrong, but Im pretty sure.

I can't belive they could do that as its not to track and the tempos would have to be bang on. However I'm pretty sure that was the story. I will try and check the mag.
