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 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.
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. ❤️
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. .
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.
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 .
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.
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!!
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 ❣👍
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!
You couldn't expect anything less from a guy who makes his own basses. Perfect tone
He made this bass????????
@@Back2Bass777 YES
@@Mucamuk Do you know what he uses? Is it carbon fibre finger board?

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

yes lets all have the same admiration for the same people. that's realistic
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.
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.
Best funky bassist on the planet man......!!!!
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!!!!
this guy is so fast and clean, very impressive technique
This guy has to be one of my greatest slap bass favourites i have ever heard ...
Spyro Gyro is one of the best jazz groups of the last 30 years. Scott Ambush has hands of lightning on that bass.
Scott is a great bassist! Nice melodic phrases and awesome technique 🔥
Lovely tone and excellent feel.
What a great bass player.
And he built that bass! Amazing.

My hero. Scott. . spyro gyra. . my all time jazz fusion band EVER
Scott Ambush : great ...simply great!
Best funk tone ever ❤️
sounds like marcus millers tone

How could you not enjoy this bass solo killer.
There the best, never gets old ,everytime it just get better & better.

I've never heard him before this day. What have I been missing????
What a talented Bass player.

Esse é um dos melhores contrabaixista que eu conheço, fera, excelente músico...✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾🎸🎸🎸🇧🇷
He’s a very underrated bass player! Just keeps the band’s groove smooth!!!

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

Not Unlike That, what a beautiful theme.
