  • It feels good to know I shared the planet with this guy.

  • I never thought about the significance of it at the time, but 30 years ago I saw Ray Brown with Oscar Peterson and Joe Pass on the same stage. Now I think..........how incredible was that. As this piece shows, the man was a genius.

  • ooou yeeeeaaah!!!!

  • What's John Entwistle's jazz twin doing in the video???

  • Thanks Fopstra!

  • THE bass player.

  • @KyriacosKestas Also, to finish, most music stores will let you rent an instrument if you don't quite want to spring for one yet.

  • @KyriacosKestas When it comes to the upright bass, brand is not nearly as important as it is for electric basses. My advice would be to seek out any violin shops in your area which may have cheaper used basses, and keep an eye on places like Craigslist where uprights can pop up from time to time. But the most important thing is to try out any uprights in person, as you'll want to be sure it sounds good and feels comfortable before you spring for it.

  • Wow! Beautiful.......

  • Didn't know RB was so lyrical. This is exquisite.
