The old bassplayer from HumanLab runs a music store here in Surf City.
He calls himself Billy Bass & plays upright. Hadn't been to his store til this weekend & dropped in to off a guitar which I ended up sellin' to someone else.
He gave me a Bass Player mag with a famous Jazz guy on the cover playing upright, forget his name but he played with Bill Evans Trio & died at age 25 in a car wreck.
Article said he transformed Jazz. He practiced 8 hours a day.
The mag has an ad for a URB pickup endorsed by Ron Carter.
Forget the name too, sorry. SUCKS to get old.
I saw Ron at the Hollywood Bowl 34 years ago with CTI All Stars featuring Freddie Hubbard on trumpet & Hubert Laws on flute, Herbie Hancock on keys.
Nice change from Classic Rock.
