So true!

YES!

+sam ferguson He's such a beast man!!! It's really intense as a bassist to see him play .... the content is even crazier than the speed indeed. It just seems like anything is available to him! What an amazing musician !

...and his time....

his harmonic content usually is AT LEAST as sophisticated as any sax player I hear......

Yeah but find someone who can finger pick actual notes at the speed he does. Short of John Entwistle, there's nobody

Yes very impressive; I don’t have words to describe HF’s abilities and skills

Brayden Hore It's so punchy it gave me a shiner...

Ken Smith sound

Wow you are right, they are 4 index fingers

+Markus Vinicius I think thats actually impossible... we just saw (and filmed) a miracle

Markus Vinicius i know!!!!

Define jazz chops?

+Sargent Hartman - i imagine the point he's making is that this is video of jazz players playing a jazz tune using jazz vocabulary?

Ruben Contreras where do you think gospel chops come from

Steve Bolton Dont be jealous

“He’s still young” “a million note approach” please...critics rarely play well themselves...this guy is clearly authentic doing what he does. Sit change a thing.

And some people will always be clapping on one and three squares. There is nothing self-indulgent about this music called jazz, it has brought joy to millions for a hundred years. Just like bees, some don't understand what they are listening to.😂

he says that?

+Hugo FF Yes. He said that after discussing the question of excessive stage volume many times with Feraud to no avail, he had no choice but to fire him. And it isn't too difficult to understand after watching this -and many other- videos featuring Feraud: it almost always sound like "Hadrien Feraud and the background noise's band."

+labdrive thanks!

Curious story, didn't know that. But your thought is a little bit odd in this context to me, because we're not hearing this though one camera mic. It's a recording, so the bass so forward in the mix is a decision of the sound guy, and the musicians Too. And It's a bass solo thing, so to me it's not so weird. Curious stuff though

Yeah, right. Like it was the first time McLaughlin was playing with a good bassist, so he was scared to be upstaged. LOL! Mr McLaughlin has been a recording artist for over 50 years, using many different acoustic, electric and electronic instruments, and you talk about "his tone....drenched in chorus...."; HIS tone? his ONE tone, really?

Completely disagree. Maybe you just heard constant 16th notes and just assumed it was all fret wanking? Or maybe your ear isn't trained enough to comprehend it? Because I hear a lot of forward musical direction in his lines and I have been nothing but engaged. Sure, they aren't as cool or as fresh as Jaco, but I hear Hadrien Feraud and Hadrien Feraud only.

No, I don't have "wooden ears" and my ears are completely trained & opened because I play & study music since 50 years ! I play and have studied piano (classical) & drums at Conservatory, I listen to all kind of music (except Rap & Metal) ... I don't know how old you are, certainly younger than me ! There are two kinds of musicians : Those who use music for playing their instruments (the bad) and those who use their instruments for playing & making music (the good), that's it ! I'm not sure that this bass player will be still famous in several years, there are plenty like him, playing fast ! Peter Erskine & John Beasley are Masters, they compose & produce music, big difference ! Peter & John are demanded by thousand of musicians in the world, not H. Feraud, another big difference !

Emilio Leroy it took you 50 and it would another 50 to play bass like HF.

he will never

just shut up old man
