Mebbe so, mebbe no. This is Tal Wilkenfeld. You play with Jeff Beck and Vinnie Colaiuta, you've got some chops. She's absolutely brilliant. And 21 years old.
THIS is her at Crossroads 2007. Her solo's at 2:15. Just damn.
Jaco Pastorius is alive and well and inhabiting Tal’s body. What a phenom!
Loved ‘em both (Beck and Tal).
I am utterly in awe. As a guitarist for over 40 years (and Jeff Beck fan from way back), who has only in the last few years really started to master the bass (I favor a 5-string), I feel like a complete neophyte watching her play.
Thank you so much for posting this link -- it made my day, and has changed my outlook substantially.
She’s a great fusion bass player, not exactly Rock & Roll, but a solid player. Bowie also has a chick on bass:

And he just may be handing the baton to the next generation — the singer of Blur. And just where has that baton been?
