    What year did you start playing bass?

    1960 was the year I began playing bass violin and added the electric bass in 1963. I still have my 160 year old Tyrolean (bought in 1967) and 1965 Jazz Bass (bought in 1965). These basses were a prime ingredient in my career performing and recording with Miles Davis, Stan Getz, Ravi Shankar...

    musical advice to your younger self

    Play in the middle of the beat. Don’t rush! I learned this from Horace Silver, Stan Getz, Dizzy Gillespie many years ago.
