Description

It was such a pleasure to sit down with Rufus Reid and catch up on his recent activities!  Rufus was in San Francisco doing a residency at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and we got a chance to carve out some time to talk shop.   We dig into the origins of his revolutionary book The Evolving Bassist, his time at Northwestern, lessons learned on the gig, and much more.  Enjoy, and check out Rufus’ recent CD Celebration to hear some super-cool writing for jazz trio and string quartet!   Subscribe to the podcast to get these interviews delivered to you automatically!   Connect with us: all things double bass double bass merch double bass sheet music   Listen to Contrabass Conversations with our free app for iOS, Android, and Kindle.

They encourage students to reach out to the great bassists in their area for lessons and direction. Many of the bassists from all of the city's ensembles are more than willing to lend a hand.
