Adam Ben Ezra is a double-bass player and a multi-instrumentalist born and raised in Tel Aviv. His mission is to bring the double-bass to the 21st century: from background and accompaniment instrument to the dominant front-presence it deserves. Thanks to his ability to move from one instrument to the other during his performances, Adam creates a unique atmosphere combining jazz, rock and world music with a sweeping, fascinating and visionary sound. He shared the stage with Noa and with some of the biggest fusion musicians including Pat Metheny, Richard Bona, Mike Stern, Victor Wooten. With his KZfaq channel boasting close to ten million views, it is clear that Adam is a star on the web. His debut album “Can’t Stop Running” showcases not just a virtuoso performer, but also a sensitive composer with no musical boundaries, as confirmed also in his brand new solo album “Pin Drop”. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Thanks, Adam, for all you're doing to make the bass a solo instrument, inspiring new bassists like myself with the possibilities.

Kinda disappointed he basically didn't touch the classical side of the instrument at all. Believe it or not, there actually is a somewhat vast repertoire for the double bass!

Jason G No, Like pedals, and stuff like that. You couldn’t make those sounds with a acoustic bass. He has an electric acoustic bass. So he can modify the sounds. Like look at all the pedals and pads by his feet. I just dont want people getting a bass because they think they can make all the sounds so easily, but In reality unless they have the money and time they cant.

Once I had the chance to take part to a wedding party in Egypt. I was surprised to see how modern their ''pop'' music was. There was also a DJ behind the desk a sort Armin van Buuren of Hurghada. Sooner or later the Oriental tones and rhythms will get mixed with the western beat.

It's not that unusual. Either a high C string for the solos, or a low B at the bottom end so it can get a full octave below the 'cello.
