Dennis' Bass
Loading...
Uploaded by gutstringrecords on Jan 13, 2012
Dedicated to the great jazz bassist, Dennis Irwin (1951 - 2008)
In November 2011, Manhattan jazz bassist, Neal Miner, had his own instrument shipped to the Midwest for an upcoming gig. He needed a bass for his steady Tuesday engagement with legendary jazz vocalist, Annie Ross, at New York City's Metropolitan Room. Neal was fortunate enough to borrow Dennis' bass, which hadn't been played in almost four years. Fellow bassists and Dennis fans came to witness the performance, and offered their reminiscences. This film documents the journey of one day in the life of Dennis' bass.

Thanks Neal. I met Dennis in Florida in '88. I saw celery & carrots in his air case (humidification!) and liked him instantly. I was at FSU w/ his brother David. That was my introduction, but I didn't see Dennis again for some time. As I approached him, at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago, 4 yrs. later, he immediately blurted out my name & all details he knew about me. He had amazing memory! We were friends from then on. I took him shopping & to eat, whenever he was in Chicago. I miss him greatly.

What a great video! It's wonderful to hear all these Dennis Erwin stories. Hopefully this bass will begin to make it out more often.
Thanks for posting!
