Wow!
I'm probably the last to know about her - absolutely wonderful!
I see that Celt and Steinar have mentioned her in past posts....
I thought she deserved a bit more of the spotlight :D

I first saw her on the recent Clapton guitar DVD. she palyed with Jeff Beck. wow. great playing. gifted.
She is great! I wonder what goes through her head when she plays with Jeff Beck - "hey, I'm jammin' with grampa!"
Also check out Esperanza Spalding, another very young and very talented bass player.

Amazing girl. The solo in the Clapton's Crossroad is incredible. I have her first CD. Currently it is one of my favorites.
Esperanza Spalding is also a good bass player but perhaps she is more singer. Anyway, I also like her music but Tal Wilkenfeld is different.
(Mitch: I'd like jam with grampa like Jeff Beck! :lol:)
Mitch :D
Thankx for the linkx on Esperanza 8)
Bit like a modernized Ella.
Jazz musicians always look like they are having so much fun :D
And - I remembered that I never was able to get a PM thru to you after you sent me those pics of your bass.
I tried several times.... that was when there were all those problems here....
Anyway -
Thankx for the pics!
That is a BEAUTIFUL bass!
Love the arrowhead :mrgreen:
