Brazilian Bass

[alibabu]

I've been into brazilian music for a long time, but only recently heard of a great bass player, Ney Conceição, who currently is touring with João Bosco, but also has several other projects on the side. He's got fabulous tone and technique, and of course, beeing brazilian, always with an impeccable groove.

Some examples of his playing from Youtube.

With João Bosco, performing Bosco's "Incompatibilidade de Gênios", maybe better known to some as "Latin Lovers" with Lee Ritenour. Look out for the bass solo at 2:30, but the whole track is worth listening to!

With "Nosso Trio", (Nelson Faria gt. - Kiko Freitas dr.). Great samba drumming and solos from all of them: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyGif0t-u1Q"]Partindo Pro Alto[/url]

Playing with a repeater, probably at a workshop somewhere.

Can't argue with you alibabu, that's some very impressive playing. Brazilian is certainly in my top five when it comes to folk jazz.
