Big Bottom Double Bass Blog

My double bass podcast - Jason Heath’s Double Bass Performances
I have just created a double bass podcast of my solo performances. It is called Jason Heath’s Double Bass Performances, and it consists of live recordings of my double bass playing over the last few years. It is listed in iTunes–just search for “double bass” or “Jason Heath”. Also, you can subscribe [...]
New Blogroll links

"Czardas" with Maxim Vengerov and bass players
I just stumbled across this great video of violinist Maxim Verngerov and several bass players playing Monti’s “Czardas”.
