As the song says, “I’m all about that bass, ’bout that bass, no treble.” That bass is, indeed, the deep-voiced timekeeper of jazz. It’s the subject of the Potomac River Jazz Club’s May 12, Zoom Talk on Jazz, highlighting great artists such as Slam Stewart, Ron Carter, and more. The presenter is Dr. Philip Ravita a versatile and sought after bassist himself. When he’s not on the bandstand, Dr. Ravita is a university jazz and classical music professor.
The event takes place Monday May 12th @ 7 pm- 8:15 pm EASTERN time.
