The few times I got my hands around a bass I always enjoyed playing. The feeling of digging in to those thick bass strings is unmatched... though I still got my hands tied trying to get around with...
Saw him last night in Hartford. Very full show. 2 solid hours of an overview from his musical career. He was very engaging and entertaining. His crew helped to provide pristine sound regardless of...
Hello, everyone, old, young, experienced, and newbies: I’ve been a member of this community for about 9 years and wish I had found it sooner. You all have shared your talent, taught me about jazz...

Tbh despite what I wrote above I’d just play phrygian dominant, so yeah Db/C# minor The bVI7#11 (A7#11) is a common chord in the minor tonality btw. Comes up a lot. The seventh of that chord is a...
