An absolute master class in jazz funk bass playing. I bought this DVD and was pretty much blown away.

Been listening to this young lady quite a bit this last several months.  Great performance & a fantastic voice.

 

 

I was disappointed to find her surname is not Debadoo.

He is one of the greatest musicians I've ever seen live. Great pianist, fantastic drummer.  Me and my sister met him and he sat down with us for half an hour just talking about life. There is no auto tune with this man, what you hear now is what you hear live. His voice is just fantastic. imo.

did you check out the rest of the album? went on discogs looking for vinyl but will have to settle for cd as its a bit of an expensive collectors price for good vinyl

Just discovered this one.

Here's George Duke and friends getting seriously funky. I generally hate solos but within this context they actually enhance the tune. Check out Louis Johnson on fire but also there's some lovely funky guitar going on
