Was wondering if anyone else caught it yesterday when Berklee put on a bass super star Zoom conference.
The session started with Victor Wooten, and Marcus Miller, drummer Poogie Bell, and current bass chair at Berklee Steve Bailey as host.
As the session went others jumped onto the screen to join the conversation to much excitement to the other musicians which was a lot of fun to watch.
In no particular order others to join in on it were bass players Chuck Rainey, Anthony Jackson, Ron Carter, Will Lee, John Patitucci, and Divinity Roxx, and saxophone player Bob Franceschini.
You see these names all over Bass Player magazines but there was just something about connecting a person’s name to their voice, to their face, and vibe.
Some wisdom shared was: to take the time to learn to read music the skill can be learned quickly If studied everyday and if your serious well worth it but also:
“It’s better to understand than to be understood”
And “be True to you, find your notes, not all the notes.”
At the end Victor encouraged the students to study the artists on the screen the “Wealth of Music.”
