What's kut about - admittedly tame and well-behaved - light jazz rock? Worse things have happened in mankind's history.  :rolleyes:

Given her age and her gender (instrumental jazz rock is probably even more "male" than heavy metal), it's heartwarming to see someone learn to play bass that well and play that type of music with so much, yes, devotion. [Now I couldn't see myself playing in a jazz rock band at all. I once auditioned with one - it was fun for a while - and after a handful of sessions they told me in the nicest possible way: "It's either you or the other guy who has kind of a flamenco background. You play great and really different, Uwe, but the way you play - anything you play really - cries out "ROCK!!!", you play with a really dominant rock groove ....". I immediately knew what they were aiming at (and shared their view), but it was actually one of the nicest musical compliments I ever received.]

And other than that she's young and pretty, I don't see her flaunting her sexuality too much in those vids either. Her playing style is playfully-intricate and perhaps over-ornamental (flowery?), but she is surprisingly economic on the show-off chops.

Count me in on the Kinga Fan Club!  :mrgreen: And you think, Rob, she's the Candy Dulfer



or Barbara Dennerlein



of anodyne jazz-kut-muzak bass playing, right?  ;D

Which goes to show, girls, that if you pick up an instrument

- don't be too pretty (distracts your male audience),

- don't play it too skillfully (looks "learned" to your male audience) and

- don't play music that avoids being jarring and groundbreaking (reinforces your male audience's
  preconception that you are teacher's pet treading it safe in your uncreative and non-daring comfort zone).

Basvarken:
Haha. Candy Dulfer makes kutmuziek too yes!

Just to make sure; kutmuziek has nothing to do with gender. The word kut in kutmuziek means crap. In German you'd call it Scheissmusik.

Naw, light jazz rock is to me like The Carpenters



with more notes, more seventh chords and less vocals. I can handle both. :mrgreen: It's unobstrusively pleasant to me, like a sunny sky. Not gripping, but then not everything has to be.

Here's more for you to hate:  :mrgreen:



I could play some nice lead bass with her - after all she's got the rhythm side already covered.  8)



The older I get, the less Scheißmusik I find, I've become musically omnivorous.

Pilgrim:
In the Dennerlein clip, the bass player is all over it!  His part is very nicely done.

uwe:
Incredible what she seems to be able to do with just her feet and some light pressure.
