I know it sounds petty but I have a gig for the Wells Jazz collective Jazz Jam this Sunday https://www.facebook.com/share/p/191rM9n1JM/?mibextid=wwXIfr
I’m still not sure which instrument to take.I’m trying to develop more of a sound and facility on the upright but still dig the sound of the electric even in jazz I personally feel taking the Eub is cheating.The fretless gives me more melodic freedom and kind of has that upright sound.The fretted works when some one calls a groove based tune. I’m not the sort of person who displays their entire instrument collection on every gig so I really I’ll have to think this one through. I know the worlds going to shit and I’m talking about this.Diagnosis please 😆😆👍🏽🙏🏽

On April 22nd 1959 at Columbia’s 30th street studio in New York City, Miles Davis completed his iconic album ‘Kind of Blue’ The album features Davis’s ensemble sextet consisting of saxophonists John Coltrane and Julian “Cannonball” Adderley, pianist Bill Evans, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Jimmy Cobb, with Wynton Kelly appearing on the track ‘Freddie Freeloader’ The album was released on August 17th 1959 and sixty years on is still one of the most successful jazz albums of all time. Now, you can experience this album recreated LIVE onstage with a cast of outstanding jazz musicians.
A terrific concert by five superb musicians. A nice selection of Davis be-bop in the first half, and then the album performed flawlessly in part 2 with scored sections recreated exactly and fabulous improv that captures the mood of the album.
Five Stars
