Bass Nation

I stumbled on this YouTube video last night. YouTube will offer recommendations based on stuff you’ve already watched, and I’ve watched a whole lot of videos of different people playing the theme from Super Mario Brothers on a variety of instruments. So when I saw “Beatboxing Flute super mario cover ” I had to watch it.  Checking out other videos from the same user, I found this amazing Mingus cover. It’s the beatboxing flautist from the super mario video with an upright bassist and cellist playing some of the tightest shit I’ve ever heard. The musicianship is just ridiculous. The arrangement is perfect. And it’s shot and edited really nicely. The amount of practice that goes into playing something like this is astounding. I wish I had enough time to practice a fraction as much as these guys must. My practicing regimen has dropped significantly the last few weeks and I really need to get back on it. It also might help if my damn electric upright would get off of backorder and arrive sometime soon. Every time I see an upright bass these days I start getting a bit anxious. Anyway, enough of my rambling. Check these guys out:
