Ciao, non mi fa impazzire il suono che ha Bill Watrous, ma indubbiamente ha un fraseggio invidiabile
il fraseggio be bop mi ha sempre incuriosito ed affascinato, ma lo preferisco quando è usato "parsimoniosamente" qua e là durante un assolo e no tutto un assolo senza quasi neanche prendere un fiato
Watrous lo preferisco quando suona delle ballade

In inglese, per favore
Translation of the post:
Hi, I'm not crazy about the sound that Bill Watrous has, but he undoubtedly has an enviable phrasing
the be bop phrasing has always intrigued and fascinated me, but I prefer it when it is used "sparingly" here and there during a solo and not a whole solo without even taking a breath
I prefer Watrous when he plays ballads

Wow, that bass player outdid Watrous! And I'm not talking about the music.
Good to know, thanks Doug! A superb bassist who seemed to me to steal the show. Very entertaining! I'll check out their site.
I was referring, though, to the bassist's harcut in the video. I didn't think anyone could out-watrous Watrous' hair-doo. I was incorrect.

She's a wonderful bass player, who refuses to play electric bass (or, at least, she used to refuse). And she doesn't have a Watrous haircut anymore. LOL!
Leitham, whether John or Jennifer, has long been one of the best upright bassists around.
And she is certainly the best left-handed bassist on the planet!

Ditto on J. Leitham's greatness, based on personal playing experience long ago, on a planet far away...and then as an audience member since then, up through the pandemic.
