S2 Ep9: Backbeat Conversations with Yoshi Horiguchi

George Vance

Yoshi Horiguchi is a Baltimore -based double bassist and educator as well as a faculty member of Maryland’s thriving Bass Works program.    In the fall of 2017, Yoshi got in touch with me about putting his  analysis of George Vance’s Progressive Repertoire Book 1 online.  We got it up on the blog, and it has proven to be a popular resource for bassists worldwide.   In this analysis, Yoshi interviewed  Nicholas Walker,  Tracy Rowell,  Johnny Hamil, and Martha Vance about the pedagogy of George Vance.  We dig into details about using this teaching resource and what Yoshi has learned through this research.  Enjoy!   Listen to Contrabass Conversations with our free app for iOS, Android, and Kindle! Contrabass Conversations is sponsored by: Upton Bass String Instrument Company Upton's Karr Model Upton Double Bass represents an evolution of our popular first Karr model, refined and enhanced with further input from Gary Karr. Since its introduction, the Karr Model with its combination of comfort and tone has gained a loyal following with jazz and roots players. The slim, long “Karr neck” has even become a favorite of crossover electric players. D'Addario Strings This episode is brought to you by D’Addario Strings! Check out their Zyex strings, which are synthetic core strings that produce an extremely warm, rich sound. Get the sound and feel of gut strings with more evenness, projection and stability than real gut.
