man you are so good. So it's all improvised? That's fantastic! Mind if I steal some of your ideas? I got a jazz combo gig coming up and I'm soloing on this song.

Sounds great - what bass and strings are you using? Thanks for posting..

Solid playing Thomson, from one of your former students, I dig it.

Shreddin' dude.

I want to start by saying you sound great. You have great musicality. I would like to raise one concern. Your stance (more side than approaching from back right corner) means that when you are in the lower register your wrist is at a more severe angle than necessary. You run the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome... keep playing, just do so in front of a mirror to see the angle of your wrist and try to correct it. Again, I like this rendition.
In this video I have a 1920 Wilfer, my main instrument (German). Here I think I am using Kolstein Heritage strings, but they might be Pirastro Evah Parazzis. Im now using Velvet Animas....constant search for the perfect tone and feel!

what were you using to record with?

@hanaad95 was using a Mac laptop at this point. I acquired a camcorder since, so most recent videos and future videos should be better quality, though youtube still compresses the audio and video down...

Do you have the String Bass Music Sheet for this?

it's all improvised, my friend...you can find the lead sheet in one of the Chuck Sher real books, but I always recommend learning standards like these by ear, if possible and then doublechecking your changes/melody with the sheet music
