How to Learn a Jazz Standard
Happy New Year!
We want to start the year off right, so we’re pleased that John Goldsby is back with some brand new material! More details on that to come out very soon.
In the meantime, find out how he approaches learning and memorising jazz standards with a couple of demonstrations on the bass. Don’t miss his brilliant solo performance at the end of the interview of a Charles Mingus tune.
