Scott Ambush is one of the greatest electric bassist on the planet...and he keeps getting better all the time! I love Scott and his brilliant bass playing.
Now these are the true musicians that the world should be listening to and admiring. I met Scott Ambush and the rest of Spyro Gyra in my hometown, awesome people and hands down my favorite Jazz Band.
@@tomalophicon Scott is a great Bass player. He reads music Superbly. Scott is also a Excellent Upright Acoustic bass player, playing Bebop Jazz. He's very accomplished in music composition of many genres. Scott can gig with any great musician regardless of that genre. .
I grew up in the Maryland area and as a fellow musician and bassist, I have not only heard Scott play with many folks around the DMV, but can also call him a friend. Manys a time, Scott came out to support a band I was with, the Atomic Brothers (90s) in and around the DMV. He'd just show up, hang out and talk music and bass. I remember when many of us hadn't seen Scott for months back in 1991. One day I ran into him at Washington Music Center and he told me the story of how he got the gig with Spyro Gyra. He was incredibly grateful for the opportunity and certainly has made the most of it, as evidenced by his being an integral part of Spyro Gyra for over 30 years now! Scott's skill sets and playing may not be for everybody, but at the end of the day, they're more than good enough to have him with Spyro Gyra and certainly others. How about we celebrate others and encourage each other, even in our differences? If we're really listening, we can all learn something....
Scott is the type of guy you'd want to learn from. A friend took me out one night to hear some funk and jazz. I sat and watched the bass player walk the bass, never the same note twice and always in the pocket. I took lessons from him for 2 years, learned a lot.
This is one of the best bass solos I have ever heard!!! I truly loved that! I felt every note he played! The groove was killin and the breaks were clever! That is also the me of the best slap sounds I have ever heard as well! His bass sounds damn good and so smooth and clear!! The percussiveness of the bass really shines and cuts through as well as Marcus’ sound. ❤️
I've read his basses are all privately made by him. An insane bassist and luthier. I saw him at the Royal Festival Hall in the late 90's with Spyrogyra. His solos stole the show. What a beast. He doesn't get enough credit unfortunately. Don't know why.
He's a great musician and easy to be around,he would come and listen to a local group I worked with, and just a great well balance person,the thump machine!!!!
Spyro Gyra was the first jazz electric jazz band I ever saw live, at West Valley Junior College in California. In the 1970’s. I didn’t understand what I was hearing having expected there to be rock music. I smoked my weed furiously trying to make the music better . I succeeded and will never forget their name or that moment in my life !
It's one thing to come up with a bass solo, practice it for weeks and then play it so cleanly on the umpteenth take that you can publish it on your YT channel. But it's a WHOLE DIFFERENT THING, on stage, surrounded by absolutely great musicians, improvising a bass solo, absolutely flawless, and creating a sound like a tank jumping through a meadow of flowers ...
He doesn't have to go all pluck. Some finger runs would be a good mix in the solo. He will be one people will try to copy for future bassists. His right hand looks effortless but my ears hear a lot of funk and stuff. He has a new fan.
Spyro Gyra, Earl Klugh and Tom Brown are the musicians that brought me to Jazz. But, as a Jazz Band, Spyro Gyra is still my favorite, hands down! “Access All Areas” has literally been around the world with me, several times over.
I remember getting to see Scott when he was playing with AL Williams and friends in Old Town, Alexandria. Al on vocals flute, (and sax, I believe), Andy Hamburger on drums, and I think Paul Bollenback on guitar (that was the mid 90's).. Scott was always a really nice guy.., and an amazing player.., (and humble).. All just great musicians. ,and good peeps ❣👍
I have seen them over a dozen times and it's always a great show . Scott always gets great tone , no matter what gear . I spoke to John at Sonata in Austin and he said Scott had recently picked up some G & R Bass gear . I wonder if anyone had heard it live and what it sounded like .
What I love the most is that he's really feeling it. A lot of great technical players but its all head an no heart. THIS cat?! He's all the way in it!!
Ha, Scott won't remember but he jammed with me at the City Room in Frederick, Md. Something like 35 years ago. LOL He was incredible then. Love you Scott! I was an acoustic guitarist with Jim Petro doing psychadelic stuff. LOL I'm still playing every day. Great slapping, popping and grooves!
I was strolling through a mall in Fairfax VA in the late 90s, and I heard a hot jazz band playing live. I couldn't see them yet, but thought damn they are good. A few minuts later, they started playing Old San Juan and I told my wife, Shit, that' Spryo Gyra, and started running toward the atrium
Marcus would be honored. Clearly Albush is a Marcus fan to work so diligently to obtain the tone and techniques innovated by Marcus. A great performance. Spyro has been performing excellent Jazz for nearly half a century
@@insomniagfx Naturally Larry Graham would have to be an inspiration. Yes, contemporaries in that they are nearly the same age. However, I definitely hear Marcus's influence in Ambush's playing more than the other way around. Marcus created a signature sound with his attack and tone which was unique and certainly was established on the airwaves before we heard Ambush. Larry Graham was a pioneer but there is little tonal comparison between he and Marcus, in my opinion. We can also say that Charlie Parker influenced nearly every Jazz saxohphonist for the past 50 years. However, nobody really sounds like Bird. In the case of Marcus, there is no way anyone would say Marcus sounds like Ambush. It will always be the other way around. While your point is that they are contemporaries, that is true to the point that they play in the same era. If you read my comments more carefully, you will see that I made specific reference to both "tone and technique". Sometimes it helps to read before responding.

You couldn't expect anything less from a guy who makes his own basses. Perfect tone
He made this bass????????
@@Back2Bass777 YES
@@basssynthcover Do you know what he uses? Is it carbon fibre finger board?
Spyro Gyra, haven’t heard that name in a while. Have to go pull out some CD’s now

Mine too since '77.
No offense but he sounds like every other slap bassist out there.
Meh

Spyro Gyra was the first jazz band I saw live in the 70’s at West Valley Junior
My goodness Tom Schumann is ageless I grew up listening to these cats I’m 53 now and so happy they’re still doing gigs
If my GOD allows me to make it to November, I'll have you buy 10 years I dig Spyro Gyra.

this guy is so fast and clean, very impressive technique
Lovely tone and excellent feel.
What a great bass player.
And he built that bass! Amazing.
I first/1st saw them in the 90's after the group was around 20 years old. They have been one of the best and longest lasting Jazz groups in America.
Incredible bass solo with nice fill in's from the band. That drummer was on point too, nicely done
This guy has to be one of my greatest slap bass favourites i have ever heard ...
Scott Ambush : great ...simply great!
Best funky bassist on the planet man......!!!!
check out Victor Wooten for a treat to your ears and eyes. -quite the performer.
He was always amazing. Even when he was just a kid working at the local music store in Rockville Md.
He's a great musician and easy to be around,he would come and listen to a local group I worked with, and just a great well balance person,the thump machine!!!!
Scott is a great bassist! Nice melodic phrases and awesome technique 🔥
Spyro Gyro is one of the best jazz groups of the last 30 years. Scott Ambush has hands of lightning on that bass.
We all vincen is the GOAT but hats off to the rest of the band THEY ARE KILLING IT😁😁😁
GREAT JOB VINCEN AS ALWAYS MY BROTHA😊
How could you not enjoy this bass solo killer.
I spend the day cheering for my friend's music.
Have a nice day friends too.
Thank you 🤠❤🍀
Excellent job beautiful bass playing girl inside my phone ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
He’s a very underrated bass player! Just keeps the band’s groove smooth!!!

Nice growl on that bass, I love that tone, outstanding solo!
He makes his own basses. Check out Ambush Basses
My hero. Scott. . spyro gyra. . my all time jazz fusion band EVER
Love the sound of thos David Eden Amps. My Favorite.
Spyro Gyra, Earl Klugh and Tom Brown are the musicians that brought me to Jazz. But, as a Jazz Band, Spyro Gyra is still my favorite, hands down! “Access All Areas” has literally been around the world with me, several times over.
Observing you when you play your bass guitar, is a pleasure, I can see how your satisfaction playing music. Great!!
Truly one of the greats.

He looks so relaxed as he's playing, like it's as easy as takin a stroll. Amazing.
He's a good guy, and yes very relaxed, he's that easy to talk to also 👍👍👍

I wonder what those who gave a thumbs down have on their minds. A BIG 👎🏿 TO ALL THE 👎🏿

Music to my ears . Now that was amazing. Love the way it sounds, pure talent.

Oh yea that's a bad man!!! And they all sound amazing
No pick! Smooth playing and the coolest name in jazz music today.
Wow that was awesome the bass was sounding naughty 🔥🔥🔥🎸
Mr Ambush is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.
He would hang out at"Firestones" with my band, and he would make you feel like you had a listening audience, very cool and gracious spirit!!!!!!!
Awesome technique 👏... congrats Scott, great band Spyro Gyra!
That was just spectacular!!!! Daymmm
Smooth as butter..
Takes years to get such confidence with your instrument 👏👏👏
Did a tour with them back in the 90‘th. Amazing musicians.
Beautiful
I came thinking this was Spyro the Dragon music.
Stayed because it might as well be
Great skills and I love the Eden rig
Not Unlike That, what a beautiful theme.
Fffffffuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnkkkkkkkyyyyyyyy to say the least🤷🏾. Thanks for sharing💯🙌🏽

I Just have a new favorite bass player!

Marcus would be honored. Clearly Albush is a Marcus fan to work so diligently to obtain the tone and techniques innovated by Marcus. A great performance. Spyro has been performing excellent Jazz for nearly half a century
I like his sound better than Marcus. I still can't play like them.
More contemporaries, don’t you think? Both playing fusion around the same time. They would both look to Larry Graham as fans though, the slap pioneer

I feel like I just literally got “ambushed”!!! 🎸🎼🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾💯😬
sweet sounds
Holy moly.....that was amazing!
Smooooooking Scott!!!!!🏋🏽
Very tasty solo!
Great solo like always, Eden Amps they sound better than anything else in the market, even better than the new Edens.
Bravo 👌🎶👏
This cat is on a train! Dang! Sweet❤
Looks amazing
BRILLIANT SELECTION....😊😮
