They are truly amazing live. Saw them in 2022. Also very nice people to meet. There discography for dance floor power is second to none. Lady’s Night is next level as well.
You done it again girl,I know you can't be old enough to have grown up listening to this funk,but damm,you sure know how to rock them out,this is memory lane girl and I love it,oh the glasses,so cool but definitely chic,God bless you girl....
I stumbled onto Julia by accident while searching for bass covers for my favorite music. She is the best of all of them! Great bassist, to the point explanations, and really gets you going! This is about Kool & the Gang (grew up with 'em and luv 'em) but like the EWF title, you are a "Shining Star" Keep it up!
"Celebration" was inspired by Prince's " I wanna be your lover. " Ronald Bell was backstage at a Rick James concert and heard Prince who was supporting James singing that song. Ronald altered what he was hearing by reversing the groove and slowing down the speed and came up with the main hook for Celebration.
I recently picked up the bass after playing guitar for many years. "Get Down On It" was a song I learned a few months ago and glad to see it made your list. I love that groove. Thanks for playing it.
Unfortunately we can't make a Chic - Bernard Edwards episode on youtube because of copyright reasons. But you can watch it on instagram 😊 instagram.com/tv/B96PmyWIyBB/?hl=de // Cheers, Julia
@@stefanherbst9980 Similar, I think they're all a little different. The Bourbon Burst is gorgeous in person. I wasn't a fan of the gold hardware until mI saw it in person, it works, beautiful bass that plays better than it looks.
I found Julia by accident on the net. Fantastic!! I don't play bass but I listen to you for hours. Excellent bass player, charismatic, very good musical selection and explanations. Eduardo by Brazil
"Hollywood Swinging" was the first bass line I ever played, I only learned that song to play in a HS talent show (to get girls) with my friends having never played the bass before. It's very simple and it gave me the determination to play the bass.
I recently watched an interview with Chic's Nile Rodgers in which he claimed he got inspired by the beginning of Hollywood Swinging bass line when he wrote Chic's Good Times, you know, the 3 quarter notes on E. He said his cousin played with Kool and the Gang.
You played the bass for girls? 😢 That's never worked before....the guitarist, frontman and drummer get all the chicks. We bassists go home with the groove though 🔥
You've opened up a new way to look at bass playing Julia. I play the guitar (moderately) and therefor always listened more to that. But after watching a couple of videos, I don't think I an ignore this instrument anymore. You sound like a great and skilled player and your love for playing is very infectious! Thnx ❤
Man, this brings back some memories! Love the music of that time! E.g. Chic, Sisters Sledge. Or Kid Creole & The Coconuts and of course K.C. and The Sunshine Band. EWF, BeeGees, Abba etc.
Julia, that`s great video. Same goes for Bootsy, LouisJohnson, Larry Graham....Hope we`ll see Mark Adams in future. His bass sound in Slave, the funk band was super heavy, funky and innovative!
Julia and the Bass Face are back! I can't get over how good she is at finger style funk--I wish I'd had a handle on that near as well as she does when I was playing the bass. Good show as always, Miss Julia! Me, I always liked the groove on "Joanna" because it's so relaxed and laid back, but confident, and the fills he does on the chorus between vocal lines are just so tasteful and perfectly timed. Deceptively simple, for sure.
Kool send the Gang great bass lines. Love the Life You Live, Hollywood Swinging Soul Vibrations, Mother Earth, Superband, Surrender. To mashed a few. I'm the original Kool and the Gang fan. Ever since their 1st 1969 release, Kool and the Gang, an instrumental.........
Oh Julia I’m 46 and my hearing is better now apparently when I was 25, however I was blasting the bass at that time. 😳 love your bass playing. So, so good. Thank you
I got familiar with the music of Kool & The Gang in 1974 through the radio station "American Forces Radio", with pre-recorded radio shows, presented by the legendary Wolfman Jack (you know ... the one featuring in the Guess Who's hit single "Hit The Road Jack"). From the 1974 album "Light of Worlds" I liked the bass line of the song "Higher Plane" ... just check it out.
Thanks Julia, in this top 5 I especially liked 'Jungle Boogie' and 'Let the Music Take Your Mind'. I would have loved a 'Who's Gonna Take the Weight' or 'Open Sesame', but with a repertoire of over 50 years, there's so much to choose from. Next up, a Jamiroquai and/or Brand New Heavies top 5?
Kool fave’s you left out: “Hollywood Swingin’” - my jam as a 13-year- old kid in So Cal “Jones vs. Jones” - second hit off Celebration album. Funky bass.
For a switch - Two Fools a Minute by David Lee Roth (with Billy Sheehan on bass) really swings. Would also love to see Julia tackle Sheehan's NV43345 solo. Or any Infectious Grooves tune. 🤘😎
i had no idea Billy was playin bass on that song dude no wonder its a jam....nv43345 is whooooaaaaaa but Julia could play it i have no doubt just gotta use three finger strummimg....infectious grooves definitely she should dig into great comment

Summer Madness. It's steady and melodic, hypnotic. Then the keys take you there.
I love watching Julia, she is a great bassist, her love for music is infectious. I have learned a lot from her.
Plus I love how she starts grooving while playing. Far to many musicians just stand there.. as if their backs were up on the wall.

@@blastmanutz7798 A pretty face goes a long way.
@@buckemptier Oh come on
I love how much fun she's having playing the bass line from jungle boogie
The meter says she is about 10 decibels louder than the previous song. Yeah, she was enjoying the trip. The era of Funk must be a bassist dream era.
I was like, "Aint it good to ya!". 🤤

As a percussionist from the 70's and still jamming today at age 61, thank you, I wish we could recruit you as our bassist 😉, nice work 👍🎸🥁
Slices through Jungle Boogie with ease! Julia has de funk!! ❤️
Simple, yet catchy and funky bass lines that go so well with the songs.
The best ever song by K&tG : "Fresh" !!!! Great bassline.
"Celebration" was inspired by Prince's " I wanna be your lover. " Ronald Bell was backstage at a Rick James concert and heard Prince who was supporting James singing that song. Ronald altered what he was hearing by reversing the groove and slowing down the speed and came up with the main hook for Celebration.
Awesomeness

Bernard Edward was just one of the best Bass player in a generation
Kool jouera avec James après sur SOUL SYNDROME
Love it when Julia stands up on these episodes... you really get to see her in the zone, rockin' out
Absolutely love this episode. You show how the use of octaves in funk are so cool. Tausendmal Dank so viel von diesem Bass-Anfänger!
Jungle Boogie, such a cool song. Love that Fender 75th Commemorative P-bass, I picked one up earlier this year.
Hi, have yours the same colour? The top part between the Pickups and the Bridge is more Brown than orange. I mean my copy

This is a fantastic way to start my Friday morning, thank you. 😎❤👍
Summer Madness!!!
My favorites besides "Celebration" are: "Joanna", "Cherish", "Ladies Night", "Fresh", and "Funky Granny".
Would have rather liked to hear 'Cherish' than that bass trolling on nr. 5 (forgot the title of the song)!

@@frankfrank7921, 40+ years ago, I can't remember. LOL!!

We bassists go home with the groove though 🔥
Julia always has exquisite tone and technique..a true inspiration for us bass players
Love "Celebration"🎶🎧🎸
She’s FRESHH!! - has so many sweet subtle variations & fills
Man sieht ganz genau, wie sehr Du die Musik liebst, fühlst und mit Ihr mitgehst !!! Sehr geil ... eine Bassistin mit Leidenschaft !!!

She's having so much fun and is so contagious. I love k&tg, and she gives so many good vibes
My favorite Kool & The Gang bass line is from their smooth instrumental Sumner Madness. I'd love to see you do that one!
I was going to ask to see Summer Madness also. I have the original album. Light of the worlds
This is absolutely my favorite Kool & the Gang song too!
Summer Madness 👍
Great ones, had to grab my bass right away.
They're also killing it on "Fresh" 😎
Julia is awesome. Seems like shes playing all my fav stuff!
Love the new backdrop! She is a tremendously talented and beautiful musician! Thanks for doin’ and sharing!
"She's Fresh" is great bass

Stunning P bass.. more anything using the Precission pls! & you have such smooth finesse. Thanks so much for putting this together for us.. stay safe.
Another great video! One of the 1st bass lines I ever learned was Hollywood Swingin. Simple but effective.
Imma need a whole cover of Good Time😍
Julia grooving makes it impossible not to simp
They truly were COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
That's one Kool for each of the band members past and present, and one for luck!
Julia I truly love listening to you play on this channel
Diana Ross: Upside Down, I'm Coming Out, Why do fools fall in love, Love Hangover, and many more, have amazing basslines.
Much enjoyed, thanks Julia.
I like how you enjoy following the rhythm that's play with taste and feeling 😊
I know you can only fit so many in, but "Hollywood Swinging" is an iconic line, and I'd also add "Ladies Night".
I was just about it suggest Hollywood Swinging. That whole song was basically bassline driven.
Julia, You are awesome.
What a talent you are, thank you.
I really hope Julia is thinking about a part 2. Songs like Funky Stuff, Love the Life you Live, Ladie's Night...
Great playing as always!
Julia, you're Answome!
I love the Black music's songs.
They have a Nice Grooves.
Man, this brings back some memories! Love the music of that time! E.g. Chic, Sisters Sledge. Or Kid Creole & The Coconuts and of course K.C. and The Sunshine Band. EWF, BeeGees, Abba etc.

OMG that P-Bass tone is killing me. Amazing playing!
Timothy I literally just bought a 1980 fender special p bass ,lake placid blue , because of julia and her bass groove .
Julia makes me want to learn how to play bass.
Celebrate good times Come on🤘🏽
Queen of Funk! 👍 Totally awesome playing and love the sound of your bass and rig. I’m favoring Jungle Boogie but all are feet-moving lines. Well done!
Back in 1980, had the luck of seeing them perform at Disneyland. Thanks for bringing back some memories.
Its a AWESOME day when the Goddess of the Bass drops a video. Love absolutely love the glassess.
Great to see you having such fun!
Hollywood Swinging and Ladies Night are good ones. Thanks Julia. The Wild and Peaceful album was one of the first albums I ever bought.
I got familiar with the music of Kool & The Gang in 1974 through the radio station "American Forces Radio", with pre-recorded radio shows, presented by the legendary Wolfman Jack (you know ... the one featuring in the Guess Who's hit single "Hit The Road Jack").

Julia, another great bass groove by KATG is Get Down On It!
Big mistake to listen to this on a late Sunday evening.
I am in a party mode now 🎊
Thanks Julia for good time!
Julia ist die beste ❤️
Julia, you got it and I love you
Awsome playing !!!
How about the bass line to "Open Sesame"? Or the slow jam, "Summer Madness"?
Yeah I was expecting Summer Madness
Great job! Please do a Con Funk Shun video!
Super cool, proper funk!!
So amazing! Love you julia!!

HYPER FEAT!!!!! timing Excelent I love it her face when she is playing
i love you. you're really the best. Your right hand is so precise it could be used instead of metronome
Awesome work Julia
Love it thank you Julia❤
Great tunes, great player. Thanks a lot for that vidéo. Love it.
That was FUNKY!!!
Quality music here. Always.
Iam really Love Kool and the gang....
Very Kool!!! :-). Love your new glasses!
Julia sempre maravilhosa. Beijos do Brasil!
Let's just note that 'Kool' in Kool & The Gang is Robert 'Kool' Bell-the bass player.
Kool fave’s you left out:
“Hollywood Swingin’” - my jam as a 13-year- old kid in So Cal
“Jones vs. Jones” - second hit off Celebration album. Funky bass.
For a switch -
Two Fools a Minute by David Lee Roth (with Billy Sheehan on bass) really swings.
Would also love to see Julia tackle Sheehan's NV43345 solo.
Or any Infectious Grooves tune.

i had no idea Billy was playin bass on that song dude no wonder its a jam....nv43345 is whooooaaaaaa but Julia could play it i have no doubt just gotta use three finger strummimg....infectious grooves definitely she should dig into great comment
@@itsthe773guero5
Acc. to Wikipedia, Sheehan left after recording Skyscraper.
Drummer Gregg Bissonnette's brother Matt played bass on the tour.
Always always enjoy....such a natural...in Ft Wayne...if u ever make it to Sweetwater I'll want a pic and an autograph !
I feeling so good bass sound 😊
