New Trio Album out on Origin Records

"The album does not present itself as a virtuoso's showcase. Instead it feels like a meditation on what it means to listen, to converse, to make music new again."  

-Thierry de Clemensat, Association of Jazz Journalists & Paris-Move.com

Method Book Now Available!

Troy Nelson Music Publishing

In 2021, Troy Nelson asked if I would be interested in writing a book about building bass lines. Many painstaking months later, the book was complete, and is now available HERE.  

​

"Build Walking Bass Lines in 14 Days: Jazz & Blues Bass Lines for Upright And Electric Bass" covers the critical aspects of bass playing in a systematic format. Divided into six 15-minute lessons per day, the book is intended to be a resource for beginning and intermediate bassists looking for a methodical approach to improving their ability to create great sounding bass lines. The BOOK is available through Amazon in print and E-book formats, and includes play-along tracks.
