Adam Ben Ezra Turns One Upright Bass Into a Full Band at Moods

Whenever Adam Ben Ezra drops a video, we are watching.

Qwest TV has shared Ben Ezra’s complete Live at Moods performance, recorded in Zurich in 2019. He takes the stage by himself with his five string upright bass and builds the music one layer at a time. Ben Ezra starts by creating a groove with his looper. Once everything is in place, he steps out over it with some seriously tasty playing, turning the upright into the rhythm section and lead instrument at the same time.

This might be the best 5 minutes of your day.  Enjoy!
