I saw a great jazz quartet the other week. The bassist did a crazy 5 minute solo on a standup. Amazingly fast for a standup. I was in love

bassman, did you know that my brother can play bass better than vic... WITH HIS FEET!? While he's slapping around on the bass he's playing saxophone... BETTER THAN JEFF COFFIN with one hand. In his other hand he's either writing down music or playing the flute

The bassist in my band met him and talked to him for like 3 hours and he said in those 3 hours he learned more about bass than he has in 6 years.
