Vulfpeck’s Jack Stratton sent us this cool video he made saying, “[James] Jamerson belongs with Bach, Debussy and Mozart, and that includes graphical scores on Youtube.”
We couldn’t agree more.
We dig this visual representation of one of Jamerson’s amazing bass lines – one that is best described on the Wikipedia article about Jamerson’s bass line on the original:
Wonder’s version of the track is often singled out by bassists as the greatest example of James Jamerson’s playing style, with no two bars of music played alike during the whole song; a completely improvisational line that is both melodic and complementary to Wonder’s vocal.
