Double Bass YOU - on youtube (DB forum thread)

From last Monday's Faculty Chamber Jazz series at the U, where we invite members of the classical faculty to play with the jazz faculty, and we write music to play with them. This is the most unapologetically romantic thing I have ever written in my life, and guest Geoff Herd just kills it on the violin. So glad to have such wonderful colleagues!

 
My band started a short tour last week at Chris’s Jazz Cafe in Philly. I was a little bleary from the drive (we’re from Detroit) but it was great to be in there. Coincidentally our friend Jeff Pedraz, a truly great bassist and Philly native was in town visiting his mother. He put us up for the night and showed us the some of the sights, including after gig cheesesteaks. Good times!
 
Thank you! Your latest clip sounded great as well. Hope you got a good crowd for all those miles of travel!
Thanks Chris! We did ok in Philly considering it was a Tuesday night. We hit Pittsburgh (Bantha Tea Bar), had a great night in Columbus at the Ginger Rabbit, and then wrapped it up with a couple great nights in Cincinnati (almost your neck of the woods). I got to hang with some old friends there all in all it was a success.
