Probably my favorite bassist ever, both on electric and upright, and great friend.

At the risk of showing my ignorance, who IS that on the bass? Terrific sense of melody!

His name is Nico Assumpção, he is from Brazil. He died in 2001 of cancer You can lookup on Youtube, there is a couple more videos with him, not many. He recorded on several albums in Brazil and abroad.
He was a very nice guy and I used to hang up with him sometimes. He was just so nice, he was playing with Pat Metheny once and after the show he introduced me to Pat.

There is a site maintained by his family: www.nicoassumpcao.com.br

Gorgeous stuff! Shame he had to go so soon. Played really well with Cobham, too.

I must confess I've never heard of this man before, but his playing on the video is beautiful, so I'm gonna look for something with him playing...

Wow, I checked out his other youtube videos too. It's very sad he left so soon, but what a very beautiful mark he made when he was here, wonderful playing!

Too bad I can't find any video with him playing upright, it was awesome.
