A Halloween Story with Jory Herman
Check out this cool new story by Los Angeles Philharmonic bassist Jory Herman for narrator and double bass solo!
This simple piece of music employs all the various ‘scary’ sound effects the double bass can produce. Great for all ages!
This is available for sale, and it includes a generic scary story arrangement written by Jory Herman as well as a ‘Los Angeles-specific’ scary story written by Alex Chung and a ‘cheat sheet’ of all the creepy bass sound effects.
Also, check out Jory on Contrabass Conversations from back in 2016. This was recorded before he got his current LA Phil position!
