New Double Bass Vid!

Hi,

Just got a new audio interface so I thought I would record something just to test it out.

This is a solo from Mccoy Tyner's Nights of Ballads & Blues album by a guy called Steve Davis (who to be honest I've never heard of). The track is Blue Monk by Thelonious Monk. Nothing fancy but I think it's a nice solo.

On a side note I tried recording the video on an iphone (as you can probably tell!) which is annoying because i can't seem to edit it to make it fill the screen. I think next time I will record the video in landscape on the phone rather than portrait. If anyone else has any suggestions please let me know!

I agree with Geoff, some nice phrasing there.

Thanks guys :-)

Steve Davis was a relatively minor figure in John Coltrane's career (i.e. less significant than Jimmy Garrison and Reggie Workman) and he appeared on several early iconic Coltrane Quartet albums including My Favourite Things and Coltrane Plays The Blues.

I can't offer anything truly insightful but it sounded good and I liked it.

And if you wanted to do any nice HD recordings, just say and you can borrow my digital camera!

Thanks Chris, that's good to know, I may have to take you up on that offer at some point!
