I Haven’t Practiced in a Month. Here’s How I’m Coming Back (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After almost a month of packing, moving, unpacking, and barely touching the bass, I'm finally back in the studio, and my chops definitely aren't where I need them. With a weekend at Birdland with Steve Smith and Vital Information coming up, it would be very easy to panic and spend every available minute working on the music for the gig.Instead, I'm trying something different.I've been going back to classical music (Brahms in particular) and experimenting with arranging music I love for solo elec

Along the way I also

Bass players, coffee drinkers, ladies and gentlemen, the podcast is back! Full disclosure: I used chat gpt to generate the description of the podcast below based on a transcript of the episode. I’m still not sure how I feel about the whole AI thing in general, but I realized it saved me a ton of legwork today with something I’m not particularly good at (writing descriptions of things), and provides some information that might help you better understand what the episode is about and bring a littl
