In preparation for this weekend’s CBC episode featuring the final part of our Ranaan Meyer interview, we’re putting out this great video of Ranaan performing I’m Tryin’, one of his original compositions. Ranaan is the bassist for the excellent trio Time for Three, and after watching this video, I think you’ll see that Ranaan is a huge part of why this group has become so popular.

You can check out the first part of Ranaan’s interview here, and click here to watch Ranaan play the Czardas on double bass. The video below is from a recital that Ranaan performed in 2007. In addition to the high-resolution version below, you can check this video out on YouTube or in the bass blog video player in the upper-left-hand corner of the blog.
