i saw this guy at emmet cohens recordings at youtube. he is killin it. what is your opinions

 

[Mike Goodbar]

He sounds great. Nice old-school lines. Snazzy dresser, too.

 

[geoffbassist]

I think he's an incredible player.

 

[Chris K]

In fact, as I wrote elsewhere, it was his playing that made met go over from BG to DB. On top of what's already been said (indeed, his purple hat) I really dig his sparkling enthusiasm.

Energetic and supportive playing, what's not to like!?

50% of the job!

He posts lots of solo videos on Instagram (@russellalexanderhall) and was recently singing the praises of a new set of Pirastro Jazzers.

I've seem him a bunch, and he seems to switch strings a lot. He always has a good sound but I guess he's searching for something. Doubles on electric bass ok too. Always dresses outrageously. Not a bad idea for a young cat.

any chance of seeing him appear on DDB?

He plays the early jazz thing like he was born in it. Plus, the wardrobe!

These Emmet's Place things are the best thing going right now, for me, but this is my favorite if I got to pick one.

 

[damonsmith]

Great player. He sounds great here, of course:

 

[BobDeRosa]

He's one of the major reasons I tune in to Emmett's Facebook house concerts. What a fine player in every way!

 

[Bruce Calin]

I emailed back and forth with RH a few times because our basses looked so similar and I had questions. He's a very nice guy in addition to being an excellent player.

Fantastic player, time, groove and energy, who works hard for the band, makes everybody sound better. The ideal bassist.

Great - what did you find out ?!

RH's bass is a '33 Czech Juzek. At the time he was using Jazzers but was thinking of changing to Animas. This was last April so I don't know if he did it. My bass is also a Czech factory bass of the same period but with a different label. Anyway, it was great to communicate with him.

Ah a Czech bass - thought so…
I noticed he was asked a question metal or gut? Gut! He said

Yeah, I sent the question, even though I knew the answer This was during the master class the Emmet Cohen Trio conducted yesterday under Emmet Cohen Education.
