Reminds me of when I was playing at 19 back in 1958. Hell no, I didn't play that well, but it just reminds me of a long time ago. At 81 I still don't play that well. But I really enjoy listening to the people who do play well.

@Stormwriter 3 жыл бұрын

You can tell at about this time he's starting to feel the limitations of the two finger right-hand approach (heck, he's still mainly playing with one!), and then started working on the three finger technique shortly thereafter to increase his facility on the bass. That was also a transitional time for the bass, when pickups and amps were starting to become popular, and you didn't have to pull so hard to be heard. You could lower your action and didn't have to fight the instrument as much.

@nemo227 3 жыл бұрын

You explained it very, very well. Trying to get your bass to fill a ballroom without amplification was a real job. When I started I used to wrap my first two fingers with adhesive tape to prevent blisters and sometimes I taped over the blisters. That's a part I don't miss.

I was ONLY 21 when I heard/saw him first

@samdoublebass 2 жыл бұрын

it's refreshing to hear him with a more natural bass sound instead of his pickup sound from later years, absolute beast. the fact that these were likely gut strings with high action is amazing

@slateman118 2 жыл бұрын

For sure. I personally think the 70s "electric fretless" bass sound with the pickup has its own charm but I still usually prefer the higher action miced up sound. Other legends like Scott LaFaro and Paul Chambers also are very satisfying to listen to because of this reason. However, I think today is the best era for jazz double bass because players are soloing like NHOP and George Mraz did but walking with the "thump" you hear in classic jazz recordings, mainly due to modern recording tech. It's why Christian McBride is as amazing as he is.

Dave is the technical standard for bass and his creativity is unmatched -- his duets with Sam Rivers are all the evidence a sentient being requires. Great clip of the amazing young NHOP. Thanks!

@mettamoose5074 3 жыл бұрын

No, they are in the same octaves and pitches (in standard 4-string open tuning EADG). They do sound completely different, of course, as they are made completely differently and rely on completely different principles to get their respective sounds to project (acoustically vs. electrically & relying on amplification/speakers). I completely respect that you prefer the sound of upright over electric bass, and I'll offer that I love both for what they each offer, especially in skilled hands! :)

as someone who's well-versed in jazz, and plays electric bass, I just don't get how this is heads and shoulders above other jazz bassists. what sets this apart from other jazz bass solos that sound more or less like this? is it that he was an originator, or is this still technically difficult for your 'average virtuoso' ?

@joaot8253 Жыл бұрын

DBass is harder in every aspect, he was 19 in a time where you couldnt easily check out other musicians and their solos. And still, you will have a hard time finding a bass solo swinging this hard, with clear notes and intonation, add the high tempo... He was amazing until his last days. You can find on youtube this show where I believe the pianist was Oscar or Duke, and two bassists took turns in a solo: NHOP and Ray Brown. The fkin Ray, god of The Good Sound, lays a cool solo, but the momment NHOP comes in, you notice he is in another level of technique, feeling, phrasing...he doesnt sound like a baby whale learning its first whale words
