CBC 6: John Grillo interview

This week’s Contrabass Conversations episode features an interview and musical performances from double bassist John Grillo. John has got some great insight into the world of the bass, and this interview was both a lot of fun to do and very informative and interesting.

CBC 5: Phillip Serna interview

My great friend and excellent double bass and viola da gamba performer and pedagogue Phillip W. Serna is the guest for this week’s episode of Contrabass Conversations. There is also a track from Eastman School of Music student and double bassist Scott Worthington titled ‘Disrepresentation’, plus some general bass news and music from Phillip himself.

CBC 4: Andrew Anderson interview

I had the great pleasure recently of doing an interview with Lyric Opera of Chicago and Grant Park Symphony Orchestra bassist Andrew Anderson. Andy gave a great interview on a variety of subjects.

In this first part of the interview we discuss Andy’s early years in music, the schools he attended, the type of gigs he played while in college, and advice on what auditions a student should take during school. Expect to hear much more from Andy in future podcasts.
