I really dig the second set with the trio with adam rogers and sean rickman, and there was some incredible playing on the lager ensemble sets with gregoire and randy brecker. its' really hard to pick.... with only 5 sets up there right now....

I'm going to add more as I get them and as I edit them and find nice musical moment where the band are really hooking up.

But there are 30 sec previews up there to give you a good idea of what you're getting, and I'll make sure I do that for all subsequent shows I post.

Easy,

Janek

Sounding good.

There's something about recordings of live and improvised sets that just does not come across in studio recordings, even if it's exactly the same musicians doing exactly the same thing.

Did you record these in the same fashion as the 55bar recording? I was particularly fond of the sound of the simple recording setup you guys used for that.

all of the bootlegs I post have been recorded in a similar simple stereo setup.

I love the vibe of a live bootleg like this, and I'm really excited to bring you guys some great live moments for download over the coming months.

One thing I should mention is that once you've made your purchase on the site I get an email notifying me that you've bought a download. I will then send you an email with the link for download and a password for your selected sets. I'm on Pacific time in Los Angeles right now and will do my best to forward the information to you no later than 8 hrs after your purchase. This is until we program an automated system to do the leg work for me of course........

Easy,

janek

+1. The energy of a live recording is hard to beat.

Janek,

I really enjoyed this new podcast and it has given some things to work on. That bass groove at the beginning is killer! You truly are a master at the instrument.

hey janek,
was thinking - i know you've touched on a bit in your podcasts - but i would love to hear you demonstrating playing over some standards, just to hear how you approach it, also, would love to hear you explain and demonstrate some things like motific development over standards. most of the playing i've heard you do is over fairly modern jazz tunes, would love to hear you go over some more traditional style changes and styles in your podcast! just a suggestion/request. thanks again for what you do!

Hey,

I'd be interested in how you approach standards also, particularly giving a voice which is suited to electric bass - I find a lot of the stuff I transcribe from brass and piano sounds good on upright bass but it's almost like the electric bass is too clean sounding to sound hip whilst playing over standards.

One thing I really like about your 55 bar solos is the consciousness of the other players to help build the solo and provide a good pad , in some cases, to solo over.
I find when its time for a bass solo in standard jazz, everything drops out leaving you alone to muddle through changes which the audience can't hear, leaving them free to go to the bar!

Podcast Episode 8 is now live!!

Easy,

Just listened to the podcast in the car (and subsequently bored my sister half to death explaining the 4 over 5 polyrhythm when Live at the 55bar came on :P ), and really thoroughly enjoyed this one. I think the emphasis on time was really pertinent. It's interesting to think how feeling is created and expressed by things such as articulation, and perhaps more implying certain things than spelling them out.

The Art on Earth thing fascinates me and I can't wait to see it happening. I guess something that gives iTunes an advantage is its presence in popular culture, and the easy availibility of things like vouchers. I dig that Art on Earth definitely seems to be about artists and art.

Thanks man!

Yeah! Found your podcast channel just few weeks ago, and find it very inspiring. I agree with almost everything you say about music. Thank you for being one of the most musical bass players out there.

come play to Poland one day.
