Yesterday afternoon I got a chance to play my newly acquired and repaired mid 1970’s Ampeg B15-N with my 1975 Fender Precision at Narwhal Music Studios in Chicago. The experience was absolutely sublime!!!! #narwhalchicago #fender #vintagefender #ampegb15
FREE MASTER CLASS!!!! The main topic covered will be polyrhythms and odd time. It will be held at @Narwhal Studios Chicago - 1644 N. Honore St., Chicago, IL. Don’t meet me there, beat me there!!!!
I recently got this book written by my Venezuelan bass brother @Jairo Toloza. In it, he breaks down Venezuelan bass. Get it on @Amazon!
Thank you! I hope you are doing well.
I had a great time performing with my band at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago last night. Miss Teresa Dismukes sang, Marcus Jefferson played guitar, Jim Gifford played drums, and I played bass. My gratitude goes to my friend and bass brother Gros Ngolle Pokossi for inviting me and to open for him.
On Monday, April 28th I, along with my talented friends, will be opening with my bass brother and his great band at the famed Jazz Showcase in Chicago. We start at 8pm. Please come and join us! We would love to play for you.
It’s time to stop practicing and pet me…..
@miriam2626.bsky.social you’re absolutely right! Somehow, the Democratic leadership is not so catatonic that they’ve forgotten to ask for donations. I’m happy to donate as soon as I see action from them. Speeches get no donations from me.
I got to meet and hang out with my Venezuelan friend, the Latin Grammy nominated bassist Jairo Toloza and his family this weekend. We had a wonderful time sharing our experiences and cultures.
Elon Musk's DOGE is moving to downsize the Social Security Administration with office closures, cutbacks on phone services and new rules requiring in-person visits for some prospective beneficiaries.
And he's making those changes without consulting some of the most senior Republican lawmakers.
Right now, there’s an important race happening that will shape the Wisconsin Supreme Court for the next 10 years. Judge Susan Crawford is ready to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of all Wisconsinites.
Make a plan to vote early today — don’t wait until April 1st: wisdems.org/vote
Gros Ngolle Pokossi & his band recording @ Narwhal Studios in Chicago. The music was incredibly well written, arranged, rehearsed and performed. The instrumentation was bass (Gros Ngolle Pokossi), drums (Earl Talbot), tenor sax (Ryan Wayne Tedder) and trumpet (Noé Mina).
I’ve been putting the Sire F10 through its paces since it arrived a few days ago. The tone and playability are fantastic!
I got to record bass as well last night at Narwhal Chicago Studios. #narwhalchicago
Last night I produced a vocal session for my friend, Minneapolis-St Paul area Saxophonist Dennis Sindberg. The vocalist was Christine Juda. The season was at Narwhal Chicago Studios.
Absolutely!
My Nino Mutes for my four and five string electric basses as well as for my five string Clevinger electric upright bass by my friend Nino Ocampo. They may be small, but they’ll inspire you to play differently.
Elon is mad about what USAID did to help end Apartheid…but wait until we have our own Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
This is the kind of action I’ve been looking for!
This is Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll. Last Friday he refused Justice Department order to identify & assist in firing all agents involved in Jan. 6 riot cases, He is said to have pushed back forcefully.
Thank you Brian Driscoll!🇺🇸
Correct. It’s really more of a hijacking than a coup.
This is so seriously messed up
