Ney Conceicao transcription

[Bilbo]

New one for me but some of you may like to look him up. His name is Ney Conceicao and he is the bass player on Joao Bosco’s Live DVD (2006) ‘Obrigado Gente!’. Great bass solo on the opening track. Here is a transcription I have done for Ney's solo on Incompatibilidade De Genios, the Youtube clip below - it starts at around 2.35 and is played on a six-string bass through some sort of octave divider tuned up an octave rather than down, sounding like a pseudo steel drum. Great stuff.

"bass solo on the opening track" tells me all I need to know about this, thanks bilbo.

Here's that opening track of the dvd. Its called Incompatibilidade De Gênios - Ney's bass solo starts around 2.35 but its the feel of the hole thing that I love.

I would love to have this gig!

great track and fantastic feel to it... have an aversion to bass solos tho' - technically impressive but...

A bass solo on the FIRST SONG?

Wow.. that's early for a bar'n'bog break... those crazy Jazzers.

Why aren't they all playing the same tune?

















Coat on - already halfway through the door!

I think that guitarist was in Time Bandits.

really great sounding band, nice how there's a hell of a lot of them together without it sounding like a mess in any way at all and with a really nice grove.

Not too keen on the bass player's solo though :/

mainly because of him playing right up high on a C (or higher?) string and with a tone that doesn't please me 'ickle ol' ears.

Sounded tight as anything in the grooves though.

He's a monster player - I've posted some vids of him a while ago, sadly, hardly anyone was interested.. He has his own album, you can check a few songs on Tube:

BTW, Nosso Trio (band, where N.Conceicao plays in) were invited into Kaunas Jazz Festival this year (the biggest jazz fest in Lithuania), and one night Ney attended jam session - he was 'baseless' - and I was just preparing to go on stage - guess who's bass he was playing later that night

I am loving that first one, faithless. The simplicity of the arrangement vs the complex lines. Marvellous.

Bumped for transcription of solo on Incompatibilidade De Genios on the Youtube clip above.

[Faithless]

I owe you a pint for that one, Bilbo!



Got to add, that Ney is a [i]must [/i]to check for everyone, who loves latino..

Had another listen and he's ace.

[Faithless]

Just back from a our local "Kaunas Jazz' festival, winter concert..

It was Lenny Andrade, gorgeus jazz singer, together with her band "Banda Sambop" from Brazil.

Guess, who was on bass?

Yes, you're right, it was the man himself, Ney Conceicao

Tonight he was playing a Jazz Bass, Fender probably, Sunburst, rosewood fingerboard.

He sounded ace, was smiling all the time, and made it look everything sooo easy..


... and, I have to confess, after this gig, I'm GAS'ing for a Jazz myself..


Wattaabout the concert, music itself was great, brilliant musicians, beautiful singing from Lenny, I've 'pumped' by that for a few weeks

The whole sound was not that good, reverbation was huge, as the gig was in National Philharmonic - probably only classical music sounds good in that venue (oh, how I hate it..)


anyway, music done it's job, and I'm really satisfied with it and especially Ney's playing..


Just wanted to share,
Faith.

I have been looking at this solo more closely lately, trying to play it at speed. Getting there but the rhythmci placement of some of the phrases really throws you at speed. Monster.
