The Anders Jormin Masterclass - a look inside
In this video, we have the enormous pleasure of welcoming our newest Masterclass artist, the great Anders Jormin. Known for his 40 year musical partnership with Bobo Stenson, he is also a prolific composer, bandleader and arranger who performed with numerous legendary artists.
The Anders Jormin Masterclass is an in-depth video interview hosted by DDB Founder, Geoff Chalmers. Over four hours of discussion and musical demonstrations, they unpack the music and double bass techniques of this legendary bassist, composer and bandleader.
The Masterclass covers a range of topics, including left and right hand technique, intonation, the art of interplay, playing in challenging keys and unlocking the fingerboard, Anders's three-step approach to improvisation, melodicism, rhythm and odd meters, solo arrangements, extended techniques, key musical influences, studying with NHØP, bass gear and much more. Anders shares a lot of information in these videos, so you will have plenty practise and bring into your own playing.
