Stanley Clarke acoustic bass solo (1994)
In 1994, Stanley Clarke, Al DiMeola and Jean Luc Ponty performed in Montreux. A DVD of the live performance emerged more than 10 years later.
This segment features Clarke’s extended solo break, including quotes from his Spanish Phases for Strings and Bass and self-titled albums.
This is why Stanley is so awesome! I have never, and I mean never; seen any other bassist slap or play funk on the stand up bass! Running those solo’s with eye’s closed like it’s nothing. He was one of my bass god’s as a teen and still is!
genius.
