Dear friends,
I wanted to share with you an absolutely beautiful video of Jeff Beck and Tal Wilkenfeld playing together in 2007. I hope that you will enjoy it as much as I do – there is so much joy in this music!

Jeff Beck’s rendition of the Stevie Wonder tune “Cause We Ended As Lovers” is a long time favourite. Had not heard Tal Wilkenfeld before, so this performance was a real delight to listen to. Always been partial to women bass players. Such as Ariane Cap:
Solo Bass in Stereo! (Get Headphones)…

Superb!
I think she was about 20 years old back then and already – as is apparent – one of the world’s leading bass players. The drummer too is amazing, Vinnie Colaiuta. And Jason Rebello on keyboards, a veteran and continually innovating musician.
It’s an incredibly hot crew to keep up with Beck. What a show.
Thanks, Saker!
yes, amazing… I knew this tune long time ago, but my favourite version is this one, live at Ronnie Scott’s gig…

Thank You!
Thanks for putting this up. Awesome piece and musicians. Don’t know if there is a better bass player anywhere, male or female than Tal Wilkenfeld. This very video has been in my collection since it came out.
Here she is with Jeff Beck six years later, at Madison Square Garden;

And here at the Montreux Jazz Festival with Herbie Hancock;

There was a programme on UK TV (BBC iplayer) called Jeff Beck ‘Still on the run’, recently where Jeff Beck was discussed by other musicians. The consensus was, no other guitarist can do what he does. If you are a Beck fan, and can access the BBC site, it’s worth a watch.

She can sing as well this + many other music videos and photos of many famous and not so famous artists (my own photos). I’ve posted in the Cafe’ for two years.
Enjoy

It was good but to tell you the truth, I’d rather watch and listen to Clapton.
Thank you, thank you, thank you… listened many times over the years. Wonderful!
