Pretty beast in the style of Jaco. Good stuff.

I've seen him Live in Warsaw, with full "Tribute to Jaco" program. Absolutley killer. I know a lot of pro bass players which want to have his articulation
That was exactly this:

That level of talent is unfathomable.

What a great sound.
Makes my feeble attempts to play bass seem laughable.
I don’t think that is THE Jaco bass, since the wear patterns are in different places, but it is the same model he played.

Gee I already have a fretless but still ordered a petite bouche to get his sound, I could have saved some money /s
He’s in the “you can play a shoestring if you’re sincere” club. Thanks for sharing this great music!

Stunning performer - seen him four times here in France - totally professional and bemused that he remains largely unknown outside these shores.

I read somewhere too that he had pretty well all of Django's repertoire down by the time he was 14ans at the Montreux festival. Some interesting background here for those unfamiliar with him.

Finally, nice take on So What with Italian player Giuseppe Continenza............
Sorry Kris - did not intend to hi-jack your post!

I meant the roots of his previous interests, which he also pursues to this day in various bands / ala Django /.A very nice person.

He plays distinct concerts over here with the Gypsy Jazz Project but at big festivals like Marciac he takes a much broader approach.

He can play pretty much any style, any number of instruments (he dabbles on piano and saxophone too), sings, and just seems to have music pumping through his veins. It's like almost anything he can imagine can pour out of his fingers.
I have purchased most of his discs, and scoured his youtube performances for decades, where some of his best work is hidden. So many different instruments, styles, other great and brilliant people he's played with - often for just short term gigs.
To me, it boils down to his versatility, inventiveness, sense of humor, and playing with feeling. Equally good on acoustic or electric guitar. Here's a few of his videos in different styles that I've listened to recently.
