    I got to play a set with Bernard Purdy last year at a wedding. He was a guest of the groom. My band was playing the music for the show. He sat in on our first set. That guy is still a monster on drums, even in his 80s.

    Man, Chuck Rainey is so brilliant. As a bassist, I think the hardest thing to do is play something interesting that doesn't step on the vocal. He walks that line perfectly.

    I never realized how technical that song was, to me anyway. Love Steely Dan and your playing, Julia. Hopefully, this won’t be the last one you cover!

    • @karlkrasnowsky3895
      @karlkrasnowsky3895 Год назад +2

      I think the technicality is in the simplicity and the spacing Rainey wrote for this. Not a wasted note.

    Julia's face while playing demonstrates pure enjoyment, it makes me want to pick up the bass and play now, in the middle of the night, and I don't own one or even know how to play it... 🙂

  • @shugemery
    @shugemery Год назад +1

    You playing brought me some joy this morn. I just love the passion you have for music...and bass~ Chuck Rainy sure knew where to put the notes. Looks busy but does not sound busy. I have been playing bass for a couple of months now. I'm a mandolin player and playing bass is making me see music differently. All I hear are bass likes now. I am even dancing a bit more now. But just at home. Groove kids~!

  • @noctilux7799
    @noctilux7799 7 месяцев назад +1

    One of the best grooves ever. At the end of the 80s, I dissected the Purdie shuffle down to the millisecond for days with the help of samplers (Akai S1000). Together with Chuck Rainy's bass, it was fascinating to explore all the little deviations from the mathematical metrics in the sequencer.

  • @cmberrian
    @cmberrian Год назад

    It never occurred to me until just now but what Chuck is really doing during the chorus is a reggae style rhythm. I forget the name of the style but he's totally doing it when the first beat is a rest every other measure and the emphasis alternates between the two and three. Actually it's during the riff too played between the verse stanzas. Cool. If everyone else changed to reggae rhythms on some remix, the bass is the only thing that wouldn't need to be redone

    Dear Julia, would you think of playing B. B. & Q. Band's On The Beat? That is a feel good song that reminds me of going to University. Of course I never went to University except to visit. UBC University in British Columbia Canada is my favorite University in the World. PS You are great.

    Julia (or anyone at Thomann) what model Sandberg is this? The pickup isn't a standard Sandberg pickup as the pole pieces are different. I even clicked the link in the description, and it's supposed to be gear used in this video, but it's clearly a different bass. She's playing a two-pot model with 8 pole pieces, the one in the link has three pots and four pole pieces. Thanks in advance.

    In the chorus at 2:12 should we slide into the high F as well as back out of it ? The playing sounds great with both slides (Eb to F and then back to Eb) but the sheet music only shows the slide from the F crotchet down to the Eb crotchet. Same for the C to Bb crotchets, the video shows Bb slide to C slide back to Bb, but the music doesn't show both slides either
