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.

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).

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.
