Tal Wilkenfeld - Transformation (2007)
Tal Wilkenfeld is a very young, but extremely gifted fusion bassist hailing from Australia, and she composed and performed this album after just 3 years of playing bass. She has received a lot of respect in the jazz world, performing with the likes of Jeff Beck, Herbie Hancock, and Chick Corea. I have Jeff Beck's Live at Ronnie Scott's, during which she is also in stellar form. On this album though, she gets much more room to stretch out, and at times I find myself forgetting that she is the bassist because she often deliver solos that are nearly in the league of Jaco Pastorius himself. The band with her is also in good form, and the music itself turns out to be much more on the jazz side of the fusion spectrum. I definitely recommend this to anyone interested in bass.
This next video is from the Jeff Beck dvd. Tal gets a really nice solo at about 90 seconds into the song.
