15 string Bass - Live footage

#21
I sincerely appreciate your comment RWP(thanks for having my back),I am very much aware that some of the music I do is not for every body and I can live with that because I do music for me first and foremost and for those who dig what I'm doing I can appreciate the open mindedness that they bring to the table and knowing that I have at least moved some one even if it's moving only one person puts a smile on my soul.

I offer no apologies for being myself.

No need to be,I wasn't offended.
well the music in that video is based off of some aspects of a concept that I have that's called Avant Funk and there is suppose to be enough room for the players to be on their own but still maintain a connection to the overall timbre of whats going on sonically,those tunes are 50% composed and 50 % improvised and thru out all that's going on my main focus is to keep the groove(and sometimes the melody from the Bass)solid.








I see that You're only 16 just,with all due respect learn to be a little open minded.

there's more to music that striking a pose.

Dont know any name of it in english but in swedish we actualy call it experimental jazz but with a big twist. (Experimental jazz med en fet twist) At least the firts song.
Only hear some live stuff with the same style and places here in sweden. :bassist:

That's kool but the music in those video's are not experimental at all I as well as the other musicians knew exactly what we were doing.

it's based of of a valid and proven concept of mine.

Hey Cheese the two guitarist in the video's are the same two from The Low C# Theory.

Your band is awesome! The drummer is funky as hell, without being generic. And I love what the guitarists are doing... really proggy.


Oh, yeah, and I guess you're alright... you could use a few more strings though ;) Just kidding, that was amazing and you know it. :D Is there any studio material of this band. I love what you guys are doing, I'd like to hear it as a high quality studio thang.

Thanks Matt and thanks for digging the music.
The drummer there is Franklin Vanderbilt who later went on to play and tour with Stanley Clarke,Chaka Khan,Stevie Wonder,Ritchie Kotzen,Jeffery Osbourne just to name a few.

I have a cd that will be released soon that is a trio with a similar vibe that features guitarist Kudzai Kasambira(the guitarist on the left of the screen) and drummer Bernard Purdie.

I do have studio recordings of what you see there but I have no plans to release them yet.

My other trio(The Jauqo III-X reality)also features the guitarist DaLawn Simpson(he's on the right of the screen)and drummer Jim Gifford,we will be performing at the Lakland GTG next month.

I gotta say, I watched the video once and totally wasn't vibing the bands sound and then I watched it more. Now the whole concept is totally hitting me, the way you lay it down and play in the groove with the drummer is almost unreal. Its really cool how you have this choas from the guitars, but you and the drummer are just laying back and making the groove your bitch. I really like it.

Thank you for giving the music a chance and for me groove is always first.

I tell you what...
I think that drummer is Rushing!! The pocket sounds almost too big; the drummer seems to be playing a little ahead/on the beat while you seem to be laying back.
Is that intentional? If so, please explain! I am all about the pocket...

I talked with a guy that played with an African band for quite a while, and he said while we (Americans) tend to create a pocket behind the beat, Africans can do it with the same amount of space, but in front of the beat.

If you listen to some of the music from the first video you will hear reference to African rhythms and melodies.

Not to bore any one with explaining whats going on within the overall context of the songs but as I said in a previous post(same thread).

there is suppose to be enough room for the players to be on their own but still maintain a connection to the overall timbre of whats going on sonically,those tunes are 50% composed and 50 % improvised and thru out all that's going on my main focus is to keep the groove(and sometimes the melody from the Bass)solid.


Here's a couple more.

First off..
Great vids Jauqo...

Sec.. There are places in Sweden where you get to hear this kind of stuff.. Although Linkert might have missed them..

I dig what you and the Drummer got goin.. but.. alas.. I might miss what the guitarists are doing.... just as Linkert.. (maby its a Swede thing? Maby weve been missing the and all points all these years? :eyebrow: )

Usually these types of sound doesnt get played until the middle/end of a set.. when listening to groups like Mats&Morgan (played with Zappa back in the days..).. sort of.. :smug:

Keep up the great bassplaying!! Realy dig your Tap'n Slap thing... :bassist:

Thanks Liten,that was 1998 a continuous work in progress indeed.Whats interesting the drummer has mentioned to other musicians that he had never played any music like that before or sense and at the time he was only 19 or 20 years old.

and I respect him for being open minded enough to give it a shot.

the guitarists where pretty much given free rein to weave in and out of the compositions and kind of hang along the edges of what was going on in the midst of all things sonically.
