Giant Steps again on Upright, the last video cut out the beginning. I like to use horn lines, bebop
dominate scales but mainly try to stay with the
melody and improvise over it. Traditional upright bass solos are great but I like to play a trumpet or saxaphone line whenever possible. But a horn line isn’t always physically possible on the upright. When it comes to connecting the phrases I think of a drummer putting in a fill to make up for notes I can’t physically hit.

Playing with VINX was a great experience, but more importantly he’s a great mentor and friend..
