That is the absolute truth!
I was listening to the video and had much the same reaction. I've watched a number of their videos (and have all the recordings I can get my hands on) and these guys are simply amazing.
Just for kicks a while back I picked up their "Bass tryout package". From some classical bass pieces to various other genres, solo as well as comp, written as well as ad lib, arco and pizz - it was a demanding ball of wax
They rock (and swing
), and inspire me to work harder at what I do, too
Thanks for introducing me to the Note, Ralph. I hope others enjoy them too.
ttfn,
Sherry
