Abraham Laboriel is one of the world’s greatest bass players according to Paul McCartney. A lot of musicians must agree because he is the most recorded bass player of all time. I got Abraham, Pee Wee Hill & some other great musician friends to record this sort of dueling basses jazz funk grove for me so I could capture on video Abe’s amazing talents. The Bass Walk is a tune inspired by a little riff Abe played on a record in the 70’s that has since been sampled and incorporated into dozens of rap songs.

The two bass dudes have other-wordly playing ability! And within the context of the music itself, they're barely even showing off, they're just grooving with it as great bassists so often love to do. This is extreme chops, kids :)
