The idea for BBC came out of the masterclasses I teach in Northern California every January. For years I’ve been doing a day long workshop on bass, varying the focus slightly each time to cover different aspects of what we do as bassists and musicians, but all with the aim of helping musicians unlock their own musical voice, whether that be playing bass in a blues band, or writing their own solo compositions.
The attendees reported back that they found it hugely useful, and a many became regulars coming back year after year to develop the themes and ideas of the classes.
But I’d never done anything quite like it in the UK, which seemed odd, so now I’m starting ‘Beyond Bass Camp’, which will run on Saturdays in London, once a month to start with, but will also be available as a ‘package’ that I’ll take to wherever there are 5 bassists who want to study for a whole day.
The final details are being sorted out at the moment, but times, venues, pricing etc. will be available here ASAP.
