The 10th edition of Play For Chris is on!💚🎶🐟 Rise and shine! Today Portugal celebrates 50 years of freedom. And now for something completely different. Yesterday, my pupil Rita shown me some songs from @taylorswift new album and we found "Clara Bow", where I instantly recognized a very haunting bass line. We played it at class but I was sure there was something more about that bass line... because most of the instrumental is really just bass, which I thought was kind of refreshing for a world top artist arrangement in 2024! It turns out the arrangement has two basses, mostly doubling each other but in other places harmonizing, also in constant double-stop applications, using open strings, very new-wavey, I thought! So, I hope you enjoy the bass symphony, and also hope that I got them right!! Turn up your sub bass! The 10th edition of Play For Chris is on!💚🎶🐟 Bass solo 😎 thanks to our new great friend @leonardoalacerda #bassolo #basssolo #doublebass #doublebassist #doublebassplayer @festivaldjangoportugal @marianyanchyk @nunomarinhomusic #gypsyjazz #jazzmanouche Today at @liquidambar_coimbra with @nunomarinhomusic @marianyanchyk Who else gets goosebumps or something alike during this part? Guess the bass line!
