    Paul is incredibly precise with a huge pocket, but Stuart's lines are so original and his tone is otherworldly - hardly anything he played on the albums are what I'd consider to be a "stock" bass line. IMO, it's difficult to compare the 'acid jazz' 90s era Jamiroquai bass lines to the 2000s disco / dance sound. The tight, funky playing of Turner and Fyffe were/are perfect for the evolution of the band, but if I had to pick a body of work, Zender's still my idol.

    Zander all the time. Turner is very good “traditional” bassist but Zander really had something unique to say in those early Jamiroquai’s records. It’s kinda like Newsted vs Burton. Newsted is objectively more solid and really locks with the drums and supports the guitars, but Cliff did something that was true to him and only to him.

    Stuart is currently on March 23rd 2024 in Indonesia for a concert. He is warming up for a world tour to promote is forthcoming Album "Adventura" featuring Omar Lye Fook and many more surprises.
    Stuart is among the great bass player of the 90's when it comes to groove.

    Stuart Zender is the reason I picked up bass. My big bro used to wake me up every morning by putting on the album version of Alright. You could feel those low notes through your soul. Return of the Space Cowboy is a timeless classic. I listen to it all the time and it always sounds fresh.

  • @subharmonics71
    @subharmonics71 10 месяцев назад +14

    Like someone here in the comments already said: the feel is probably inspired by Chic’s I Want Your Love. But I think the idea he got for the bassline of Runaway might be coming from the record of Roy Ayers’ Running Away.

      If your focus is on bass lines when you hear a song, that’s your signal to learn. You don’t have to play to the level of Jamiroquai bassists to enjoy funky bass lines, just work your way up with simple lines, paying attention to the groove. A tight playing is where it’s at. Wishing you all the best in your bass learning journey!

      Paul is a Great Bass Player but he plays much more than Stuart Zender. His lines were something easier but superfunky, more soulful, breathing the groove.
      And even Fyffe was more groovy and funkier than Paul. He is completely underrated.

    I started playing bass very soon after the first Jamiroquai album (not a coincidence). There’s no comparison. Stuart Zender is in a different league. He has his own voice, like only the best players do. And is one of the funkiest players of all time. Both Scott and Ian know this (especially Scott), but they are great at making videos that get people engaged and commenting. 😂

    Fun fact - A few years ago I actually was doing a tour with an artist & halfway through the tour Paul Turner came in and filled in for the bassist for a few shows. It was so bizarre that although Paul was playing pretty much the same parts as the other bassist, but the vibe, the feel that Paul gave those bass lines really made me sit up and appreciate how much better one bassist can be from another. He was on another level, man I loved being part of that tour, on the stage doing their monitor mixes and the buzz, really fun time:).

    I was wondering, could you look at the bassline from Messages From The Stars by the Rah Band? The synth bassline is so good and I think it would be cool to see a breakdown of that

      and im glad that they did. I've always known disco to be important for bass grooves but now I have a direct target to focus on.
