Every time I get the chance to play on stage with Dane Alderson, it's like taking a masterclass in all things funk and jazz. Not only is he a masterful player, but also one of the nicest, most professional musicians I have ever worked with. Top shelf!
It is impressive how this super band has been able to stay for almost 40 years. They make magic with their music. It is definitely one of the best contemporary jazz bands in the world. His latest acquisition: Dane Alderson is a phenomenon..
I got to meet Dane and play with him a bit, just before he got this gig. He is probably the most lyrical electric bassist since Jaco. Everything he plays makes sense. He is fast but he really plays the changes and does it dynamically. The yellow Jackets and the world is blessed to have a bass player like this so take it on to another level , Dane. Best wishes and Godspeed, Man!
He has all of the attributes to be a bassist for the Yellowjackets i) his tone suits the band, especially on the 2 albums he's on. ii) awesome pocket/swingiii) He knows his way around the instrument in a way that is both lyrical and to echo SteveMichaelSmith - dynamiciv) He's a true YJs fan, he KNOWS these tunes! I'm so happy they've got the right guy!
Technically brilliant and I generally like the Yellowjackets, but as hard as I try... to me most of this bass solo sounds like just a bunch of scales played as quickly as possible, with as many notes as possible, with little to no heart. Not saying it’s bad at all, it just doesn’t move me. Doesn’t mean I’m right, of course.
Great bassist. Beyond that, he’s a genuinely nice guy. No ego. All soul and pure talent.

He also has his own voice/style/individuality to be he own man, yet fit into the YJ.
pro tip: watch series on InstaFlixxer. I've been using them for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.
@Christopher Marcelo Yup, I have been using InstaFlixxer for months myself :)
This guy is one to watch, i'm glad he's picked up a gig like this. Great player.
Loving this new lineup.
Go Dane! You're making us Perth boys proud.
Agreeee!!!
+1 🖐
Brilliant!!! I have not heard an Electric Bassist play like Jaco..... until I heard Dane!!!
You should check out Hadrien Feraud then.
wow. fits right in, and with his own style. really great
Great Musician, great choice!
Fitting right in Dane
That's some super clean playing right there.
World's greatest electric bass player!!! Mr. Dane Alderson!
Aussie represent Dane!
Nice one, Dane! 😊
Imponente yellowjackets !!!!!
Awesome!!!!
amazing
Thanx, guys, for correcting me. It's Alderson from now on. I was a little too fast to get this show on the road, so to speak...:-)
Andy fisenden is dane alderson "soulmate" in the stage.. :) when they meet each other is just like "crazy" duo :)
I clapped at my screen !
cool - it's Dane Alderson though :)
Wow...........
Scouted by TH-cam:-)
Do you have more records of that night? I'd like that amazing solo of Dane Alderson somewhere. I never heard such a solo..
Bob Mintzer make it look so simple
camera man a little slow on drum solo but its ok haha. thanks for sharing!!!!
He's a way better fit than Felix was. Still miss Jimmy but maybe with this lineup there's hope.
We'll see
i was there!
Spelling is: Dane Alderson ✔️
I wish you are there too with play with him Andy.. Both of you just like heavenly duo hehehe ... Miss the Void playing in lamma and ellington bar :)
Capos !!!!!!!
Great player, but i still miss Jimmy!!
Difficult to get past Jimmy Haslip. He held the bottom in a way that was magical, in a way worth studying.
There is only one Jimmy Haslip! Dane is obviously up to the task or he wouldn't be here!
What happened with Jaco's son?
william kennedy is really swinging yah...
Can anyone tell me the title of this yellowjackets song please?
Downtown. From the album Politics.
best of youtube funcam.
What is that on the bridge that he adjusts at 1:20?
***** octave splitter!
epic J.A.
Amazing bass player. I'm afraid that the Ferrante/Haslip songwriting period is over though.
He has great technique however his solo went from Bass to Banjo, I don't understand.
it's a really cool synth sound live, sounds kind of like a banjo on here though
Yes;I noticed that;and wondered if it was deliberate!?
Lyrical banjo doesn't work for me 🤔🤨

Fucking dining with YJ's as a backdrop. Whats the world become of.
THIS BASSIST HAS NO MORE CHANGE TO PLAY WITH YJ ANYMORE. HIS BASS = COLD SOUP..!
TOROS TORO wow!!! Would love to hear you turn up the heat maestro
