"Thank you friends for your applause and encouragement, and the next thing to introduce to you is the most calm and best bass player in our band - Lao Dai, Dai Deli ~~~"

Dai Deli's name is a little foreign, but Lao Dai is a real native of China, and he has nothing to do with foreigners, mixed-race, and banana people. In the "Magnolia Band", Lao Dai, the bassist, has always been a semi-invisible person, inconspicuous, and usually has no sense www.biquge.info of existence. But as long as Shencheng plays the band, he is very praised for Lao Dai's bass level.

Lao Dai's bass playing is steady, tenacious, playful, and deep, and like his personality, he is also inconspicuous in the band, but once there is no bass foundation for him, the structure of the whole band will immediately collapse. Especially in the "Magnolia Band", the lead guitar Huang Zhijian and the keyboardist Xiao Bell are all people who love Xian, and the drummer Yang Zhengming is also the kind of musician who can beat the drum out of the flowers at any time.

Suffice it to say, the inconspicuous bassist Deedley Sr. completes all the other members of the "Magnolia Band". It is precisely with Lao Dai's bass base that several other musicians can play their instruments from time to time.

As soon as Ye Zi's introduction ended, the two beams of chasing light shining on the drummer Yang Zhengming were divided into two beams and shone on Lao Dai's body, and Lao Dai started his own solo with a low and soft long glissando.

Lao Dai's performance is very interesting, in the first two bars, he completely hides the rhythm of the bass in the rhythm of the drum, just using the simple index finger and middle finger of the right hand to pluck the strings, the melody played by the bass is almost everyone can go up the scale and then follow the scale down, just like the basic exercises that are usually done every day, but the speed is much faster than the usual practice. But even so, there really isn't any element of showmanship in this performance.

But such a seemingly simple performance is completely different in the ears of extremely knowledgeable people like Ye Zi and Brother Xue You. Lao Dai's performance is really stable, and the strings, strings, rhythm, and pronunciation are almost all impeccable, and they belong to the most standard kind. The timing of each note in the two scales is almost equal, and the ascending and descending steps of the scale are perfectly matched to the rhythm of the drum beats, hidden in the rhythm of these drum beats. Such an excellent bass performance level is rarely seen in the top bands in Xiangjiang, no wonder even Brother Xue Youge gave a thumbs up to the old Dai in the orchestra pit.

Two bars later, Lao Dai began to play a real dazzling technique, legato, portamento, syncopation, muffling, overtones, plucked strings, percussions, hook strings and other bass techniques and articulations are all at his fingertips, the bass is like living in his hands, extremely free to show the unique style of the instrument that only belongs to the bass.

Even at such times, Lao Dai's bass playing still takes into account the coordination with the drum beat, and is firmly glued to the rhythm of the jazz drums, and the two form a fairly complete small piece of music.

Such an ability is really rare, so before Lao Dai's show-off skills were completely over, Ye Zi first used a long scream and waving hands to bring enthusiastic applause and encouragement and support from the audience.

When Ye Zi had screamed enough, he stopped and looked, but he didn't expect Brother Xue Youge to still be screaming there with the microphone.

……

"Okay, thank you Lao Dai for bringing us this amazing bass solo."

After the bass, Ye Zi continued to introduce the band: "The next thing I would like to introduce to you is our excellent string ensemble, which is composed of sixteen musicians from the string section of the Shencheng Symphony Orchestra. They are violinists xxx, xxx...... Viola virtuoso xxx, xxx ...... Cellist xxx, xxx ...... and double cellist xxx. In particular, I would like to introduce to you the principal performer of our string ensemble and the young deputy principal of the second violin part of the Shencheng Symphony Orchestra - Miao Jun Kai~~~"

Under the light of chasing the light, Miao Junkai, who was wearing a black tuxedo, a white small stand-up collar shirt, and a black bow tie, stood up and waved to the audience on behalf of the string group. He then led the string ensemble to perform a highlight from Mozart's "Turkish March" for the audience, with drums and bass acting as accompaniment.

Brother Xue You, who has been standing on the side of the stage, watched Ye Zi introduce the composition of the band one by one. At this moment, I heard him introduce the string group directly after the drums and bass, instead of the keyboard and guitar, and couldn't help but nod slightly.

The introduction of the band has its own method and sequence, and it is not random. If it is a band composed of four major electroacoustic instruments, then Ye Zi only needs to introduce the drummer first, and it doesn't matter what kind of introduction order is followed, it can be established. But since the accompanist is a mixed big orchestra today, Ye Zi's introduction is completely in accordance with the structure of the band from the bottom to the top and the order of the voices from low to high.

Drums are the foundation and foundation of a band, and no matter what order it is introduced, it should be introduced first. Generally speaking, after a show-off performance, the drummer will continue to follow a steady rhythm, so that the instruments introduced later can have a free rhythm. It's like building a house by laying the foundation and then building it little by little.

Immediately behind the drums, it should be bass.

The bass is also the base instrument in the whole band, and with the bottom of the bass, the harmony stabilizes. The drums set the rhythmic composition of the piece, the bass laid the harmonic composition of the piece, and the bass closely linked the rhythm (drums, percussion) and the melody. There is a saying that "the bass is the melody of the drums", which is enough to explain its importance in the band. It couldn't be more appropriate to line up behind the drum to make an introduction.

After the introduction of the two instruments at the base, it should be the turn of the middle class. In an electroacoustic band, this task is sometimes done by the keyboard and sometimes by the guitar, so whichever instrument is placed in the front. In today's big bands, the ones who complete this task basically belong to the string group, and the third introduction to the string group is logical.

……

"Thank you to the strings for a wonderful performance."

"This time, our big band was fortunate to invite several folk music players and teachers from the Shencheng Folk Orchestra, they are young erhu player xxx teacher, famous dulcimer player xxx teacher, famous flute player xxx teacher and famous pipa player xxx teacher."

"Friends, with your warmest applause, thank you to the teachers for the wonderful performance you just gave us!"

……

"Our big band also has the youngest and best keyboardist in Shencheng, he is the genius keyboardist who just turned 17 this year - Lin Lin ~~~"

"Maybe in the near future, I can proudly introduce to you again, this is our best keyboard player in China!"

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that our Lin Lin child has a nickname that is the loudest, the most beautiful and the easiest to remember, and you can call him in the future--little-bell-bell~~~"

The laughter in the stands rang out at the same time as applause, and the little bell seemed to complain but glared at Ye Zi proudly, and then waved his hands and started an impromptu solo that belonged to him.

It's his favorite moment.

……

"Our little bell is really a genius, and the impromptu solo of the sixteen bars just now is really amazing! Give him a round of applause again! ”

"Okay, let's continue to introduce to you the second guitarist in our band, and also the rhythm guitarist - 'Little Mouse' Zou Cheng ~~~"

"Brother Zou, I've always thought it was strange, your guitar plays so well, and you are tall and mighty, why did you have such a nickname as 'Little Mouse'? Haha Brother Zou, just kidding you, come and come friends, welcome our Brother Zou with your applause for an impromptu solo! ”

……

"Wow, that's amazing! Friends, what about your applause? ”

"Okay, thank you for your applause and encouragement."

"Finally, let me introduce you to the captain of our band, who is also the captain of the 'Magnolia Band', the lead guitarist of our mixed big band tonight--'Ah San' Huang-Zhi-Jian~~~"

"By the way, Brother Huang, we've known each other for so long, just tell me, what do you mean by your nickname 'Ah San'? With that...... Does that Indian Ah San have anything to do with it, huh? ”

"Hahaha......"

In the laughter of the audience and the roar of Huang Zhijian's electric guitar with his hair fluttering, Ye Zi also laughed happily. (To be continued.) )
