I recently got this book written by my Venezuelan bass brother @Jairo Toloza. In it, he breaks down Venezuelan bass. Get it on @Amazon!

I had a great time performing with my band at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago last night. Miss Teresa Dismukes sang, Marcus Jefferson played guitar, Jim Gifford played drums, and I played bass. My gratitude goes to my friend and bass brother Gros Ngolle Pokossi for inviting me and to open for him.

I got to meet and hang out with my Venezuelan friend, the Latin Grammy nominated bassist Jairo Toloza and his family this weekend. We had a wonderful time sharing our experiences and cultures.

Elon Musk's DOGE is moving to downsize the Social Security Administration with office closures, cutbacks on phone services and new rules requiring in-person visits for some prospective beneficiaries.

And he's making those changes without consulting some of the most senior Republican lawmakers.
Top Republicans say they're out of the loop as DOGE downsizes Social Security Administration
They aren’t complaining about it, at least publicly. But some would like a heads-up on office closures, staffing cuts and other changes that affect their constituents.

Gros Ngolle Pokossi & his band recording @ Narwhal Studios in Chicago. The music was incredibly well written, arranged, rehearsed and performed. The instrumentation was bass (Gros Ngolle Pokossi), drums (Earl Talbot), tenor sax (Ryan Wayne Tedder) and trumpet (Noé Mina).

I’ve been putting the Sire F10 through its paces since it arrived a few days ago. The tone and playability are fantastic!

Last night I produced a vocal session for my friend, Minneapolis-St Paul area Saxophonist Dennis Sindberg. The vocalist was Christine Juda. The season was at Narwhal Chicago Studios.

My Nino Mutes for my four and five string electric basses as well as for my five string Clevinger electric upright bass by my friend Nino Ocampo. They may be small, but they’ll inspire you to play differently.

Correct. It’s really more of a hijacking than a coup.
This is not just a coup and a Constitutional crisis. It is a national security catastrophe for the United States from which there is no assurance we will ever fully recover. Not hyperbole. If foreign enemies had landed troops on our shores it’s unlikely they would’ve done as much damage as fast.
