To those who haven't heard the song.

Relevance to bass? It's a nice line, amazing tone, and it's got a solo, so...

Thanks for clearing this up, I thought you guys wanted to tour Spain in the other threads.
I really enjoyed the playing in this even though it's not my prefferred genre of music. Actually I really can't stand this type of music normally.

Wow, that's insane. You wouldn't by any chance have sheet for that, would you?

The sax solo blew my mind. I couldn't play sax like that in a million years.

i love this song, that vids on my myspace. iv tried to learn it before but i dont have the sheet music or chords so its pretty hard, if anyone fanceys posting em then i will make this face: :)

i think the origional version with stanley clarke on bass is better than the electrik band version, there both fantastic though.

I'm going to have to go back to learning some Jaco to work my way up to play this, and other fusion songs.

Peeted: It's on my myspace, too :p.

That was pretty sweet, but I wish Patitucci's solo used more of his bass. I love me some Rhodes though, what a nice sound.

I love the Patitucci wobble whenever he solos

This is a weird feel... I think it's lacking a lot of energy, but I kind of like what Weckl did with it in places.

I didn't like Stanley's original bass solo though to be honest, so this probably has an advantage in that department for me.

i dont like stanleys solo as much either but i think he plays the song alot more smoothley than patitucci and that recording just generaly has a better feel.

If so, post it. I'm trying to convince my jazz teacher to let us play this song at the N.A.U. competition sometime during the winter.

Thats a great song. Chick Corea does definitely rule. The Rumble is one of my favourite songs.

Dude, the other jazz band played it today, no fair.

It seemed a lot more...sterile (I dunno if that's the right word) than the recording. To me, that song really needs a flute, and the distorted guitar took away from some of the aesthetic. Still, pretty tasty playing all around, and the call/response with the audience was fun.

I actually agree with that...and although I love Dave Weckl, a lot of his stuff is very mechanical (but when he does get the feel for something, I think it's phenomenal). Some of what he did here was a bit flat and dull (though other bits were good), and I didn't like Gambale's tone at all. JP's was a little dull as well, anybody else think that?

its just a completley diffrent band and feel, the electrik cand play crazy outlandish music, iwch is absolutley fantastic but spain isnt a crazy outlandish song so its never realy going to sound right played by them.

God no. Clarke's solo is awful.
