In this video, we are backstage at the Barbican Centre, London, where Larry Grenadier plays an exclusive solo performance of Pettiford which is based on the changes to Laverne Walk by Oscar Pettiford.
We also interviewed Larry about his life as a leading jazz double bassist, his influences, his experiences recording albums, rehearsing and touring, and much more! You can find part one of the interview here.
