The diversity of Tal's playing never ceases blowing me away. I watch n listen her play and she is almost the most archetypal perfect very fn cool bassist ever. and she's a s cute as a button! And she can sing. And write. Amazing human being.
I like the point at 1:36 where Dweezil goes "man, she gone here, she gone", and just laughs to himself, like putting his feet up in an easy chair and waiting for her to land again. Whenever, babe, whenever...
Watch the Jeff Beck live at Ronnie Scott's DVD, it's on TH-cam. There is also her with Jeff @ the 2007 Crossroads Festival...about half a dozen tunes, also on TH-cam. That is where we first got to see her. She looked 13 but was 21. And she had only been playing bass for about four years, having switched from guitar after her teacher noticed her percussive style and suggested she try 4 strings instead of 6. You might also find a clip of her sitting in with the Allman Bros. Band. There is also her with Vinnie and Herbie Hancock on YT. She also has her own solo thing happening, getting an initial boost opening for the Who.
I love Tal's work with Jeff Beck, but this is really excessively busy bass playing on one scale and one chord change if you ask me. Anything Frank or Dweezil plays or played though I can dig.
Nice to see Dweezil keeping Dad’s musical legacy alive. Tal is, and always has been, a prodigy. With Vinnie killing it on the kit, you’ve got Beck’s rhythm section. Sensational.
I think at this point she could say, yeah my drummer is Vinnie Colaiuta. Seems like he's not shared the stage with any other musician longer than her actually?
Frank would have loved Tal more than life. And if a Genie ever popped out of a bottle of Macallan 20 and said, "What is thy wish?" I'd say, "I want hair like fucking Tal Wilkenfeld! Damn It!!!!
She is a very special replica of womanhood that has a message for modernity. Remember she is a woman with a women's sensitivity about the force of life and it's successful accomplishment.
Strange how this song reminds me so much of that Jazz-fusion band “Weather Report” who had a very original sound. They were quite hypnotic and revolutionary. This song seems to capture their essence nicely. Tal is amazing. So is Frank Zappa’s son.
People tend to lose sight of what a great guitarist Frank was. Son Dweezil seems to have inherited dad's instincts and ability. I understand Tal began as a guitarist back home in Australia, till another guitarist said "You play like a _bass_ player!" :I do? I should check out bass and see what it's like!" She found her axe. Simply one of the best jazz/rock fusion bass players alive. I'll happily listen to anything she plays on.
She's an amazing bassist and I imagine Vinnie had a blast playing with her, but I *can't* imagine what she's feeling there. Judging by the look on her face, pretty close to pure ecstasy.
Well, she and Vinnie toured together a bunch with Jeff Beck, so they've got a definite feel for one another. She certainly knows how to keep it in the slot when Vinnie goes off the rails. They are definitely both players that can keep company with whoever is on the bandstand.
Zappa will never get credit for how many ways he was a genius. Dweezil has thankfully preserved his unique guitar style and sound/equipment to the extent anyone could. I'm glad to see younger people getting into it.. Maybe one day Frank will get his due after all.
It would be great to hear this lineup preform FZ's "Apostrophe"! The song on the album was recorded with Jack Bruce. Tal could really cut loose on Jack's solos!
@peter g I know but with the Vinnie he can shred his ass off but then turn around and play super tasty stuff that serves the song like he did with Sting or Joni Mitchell. That's a bit more rare.
Is really simple, really. You see, Vinny simply owns time. It bends at his will. Where "the one" is, is irrelevant. Once you understand that time is Vinnie and Vinnie is time, then all things will make sense.
Tal is also fabulous with the Jeff Beck group. Wow! Check the video out, Live at Ronnie Scotts. Eric Clapton joined Beck onstage at the end where they played guitar together. Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin was in the audience.
@@StevenGrahamHypnotherapist That was one of the best concert videos ever recorded. All four band members were on point throughout. Tal and Vinnie have a sixth sense there. And she challenges Beck as he challenges her. Their interplay is so much fun to watch and hear.
Frank Zappa is one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century. Tal and Vinnie are two of my other favorites. So kudos to Dweezil for hiring them to play his Dad's music. My only wish is that this had been recorded on better equipment.
Sorry. 7 years ago when I recorded this it was just a little recording on my cell phone. I had no clue this video would go viral and all the professionals would come out of their holes to critique my recording skills. Didn't your mom raise you to keep your mouth shut if you have nothing nice to say? GTFOH!
Jazz composers start out by saying lets see how boring we can possibly make this particular piece of music and then let us allow gifted humans to shine. The boredom ends up overwhelming the gift. My son is a multi instrumentalist jazz producer and performer and will never make a dollar in his "calling". I desperately attempted to teach him carpentry and he has always told me to fuck off. Now he has to live in the bed he made.
@@johndelatore771 Well, he DID play for Dweezil's dad Frank, so he shouldn't miss a beat. Familiar territory. But I love how Vinnie and Tal play together. They've played together with Jeff Beck, Herbie Hancock and D. Zappa that I know of. They have that musical shorthand that mutual experience brings.
Cameraman did not seem aware she was playing at the beginning after the head...when dweze was obviously not, and at the end video cuts her solo. We never even saw her face ....typical male musician elitism
@@bobolivier3809 hahahahaha! That's hilarious. For your information I couldn't get a wide enough angle on my little phone to capture her. She is Sheila Gonzalez. If you know anything about ZPZ, you'd know she's been with him for years. And the comment of "typical male musician elitism" is hysterical because I am a 56 year old woman. And you? An idiot.

If she wasn’t so damn cute would she be this good?
Yes…yes she would.

Thankyou.

Her name is Tal Wilkenfeld. She is from Australia.

but he sure ruined all the re-mixes of Frank’s and The Mother’s work. shameful.
You can only be a prodigy once, you can't continue to be....
Your dad was very talented douglas - sounds a lot like Zappa though.
Vinnie Colaiuta played on a bunch of Zappa records.
@@simonkeyse8185 You are correct. Wording was flawed.
Vinnie is an absolute monster drummer.
Except that there are other monsters, but there is no other Vinnie…
A bit busy though...
@@stephanemignot100 He is great, and in this setting he seems a little more cymbal happy than I remember the original drum part being.
@@stephanemignot100 I agree. Totally over plays for my liking & I've been a drummer since 1965.
Ah the stupid TH-cam replies are in full effect here
I'd bet Frank would've loved having Tal in his band. He would've pushed her hard. And she would've stepped up.
It's amazing to me that everybody who shares a stage with Vinnie doesn't spend the entire time facing him and watching him work.
They don't need to!! Locked in!
Well they have to..when that zone.
Agreed!
Australian girls, Tal and don't forget Oriathi
Vinnie and Tal together, amazing, either with Jeff Beck (rip brother), Zappa J or anyone, they will be jammin....
Check out the Herbie Hancock set that Tal and Vinnie did at Montreaux.
I think at this point she could say, yeah my drummer is Vinnie Colaiuta. Seems like he's not shared the stage with any other musician longer than her actually?
12-11-15, First mistook the Date for the Time meter of the Song 😂
Jeff Beck, Frank Zappa... my two favorite performers. Yes I'm old. $6.50 for the good tickets!
I remember those days. Remember seeing Buddy Holly, Big Bopper & Richie Valens two days before they died and the tickets were about half that.
Colaiuta seemed to enjoy playing Zappa again.
+Hin Bieger Who WOULDN"T enjoy playing FZ's awesome songs? lol
Tal in full blown BEAST MODE ☮️❤️
Vinnie produces his wall of sound with cimbals and drums. And Tal digs in with the right bass groove. She can play the Black Page on bass!
Frank would have loved Tal more than life. And if a Genie ever popped out of a bottle of Macallan 20 and said, "What is thy wish?" I'd say, "I want hair like fucking Tal Wilkenfeld! Damn It!!!!
LOL F'n A! :D
I love to watch tal play she's amazing.
I could watch Tal fold laundry…..
She is a very special replica of womanhood that has a message for modernity. Remember she is a woman with a women's sensitivity about the force of life and it's successful accomplishment.
I'll bet she could play the sitar if she wanted to...
ETA: Would love to see her and Sina play together. They deserve each other... 🙂
Tal is a beast bass player. One of the world's best. She should team up with Marco Minneman and Govan
Saw Marco and Guthrie on Steven Wilson’s Raven Tour. Pure magic.

Seen Dweezil play Zappa twice, it runs in his blood great shows ( I've also seen Frank a few times)
@@joesmoker3378 - I saw Frank play once with his band, Rats. Great guitarist. This was right after Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention disbanded.
not surprising, jeff beck thought tal had a very jaco feel and groove.
Add Jeff Beck and your swinging 😀
It was truly an epic night of performances from multiple guest musicians. Tal rocked it all right!
Vinny used to play for dad many moons ago! Tal made it classic!!

Had no idea that he had Jeff Beck's band on this tour
I love the Dweezil Jeff & Tal + Vinnie.
Those guitar lines Zappa is doing at the beginning of his solo sound like sax lines!
Tal killing it .....Vinnie...man, this is seriously good.
Hendrix got his start copying horn lines. It just seemed like that was how you solo, so why not? Nice ear.

Dweezil ?..remember when they named him..must be 50..geez
Wish the sound was a little better, but wow so cool...
The sound quality makes it a trifle incoherent. But a trifle never tasted this good.
How Vinnie can shred like that and still hit the one every time is beyond me.
@peter g I've known him since he first hit the states in the 90's. He's amazing but vinnie is one of a kind.

Funny thing about Zappa music. Almost anyone can play along. Just play any scale with them playing whatever they’re playing and it works.
