stonecoldbass Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hey guys, As some of you may know I've started my own teaching website since moving down under called [url="http://www.basslessonsmelbourne.com"]www.basslessonsmelbourne.com[/url] with a view to raising my profile as a teacher and ultimately attracting more students. A sidechain of this has been interviewing local players to get their views on a wide array of bass and music related topics in the hope that player watching it can maybe learn from their advice (or mistakes!). Recently I was super lucky to have Janek Gwizdala agree to swing by while he was in town to do and interview and a bit of a performance. He was super easy to hang with, very giving of his time and just so enthusiastic about music and life (and tennis ) I hope you enjoy what I managed to capture. Solo performance: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lexG8HeQzsE[/media] Our Jam [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0uKJ_lbNKI[/media] The Interview [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igk9ykgjYa8[/media] Thanks!

ambient Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Great, I'm a big fan of Janek's playing. He was a visiting tutor at my uni, I was lucky to get to see him play a few times during masterclasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skej21 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Great stuff. It's really refreshing to see a bass player like Janek (I'm a big fan!). His positivity, outlook on life, his views on where the music industry is going and his view that you don't HAVE to spend months away touring to be a hardworking musician are a really positive example to set to any other aspiring musician. Such a genuinely nice guy, a great player and a massive breath of fresh air! Edited January 23, 2016 by skej21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBus Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Will he be selling some of his energy? He never seems to stop. Been a fan for some time now. Love his attitude and playing, great bass tone too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
