This series of videos are tips on navigating and surviving as a sideman/support musician in the local music scene based on my personal experiences. They are aimed at people who are interested in taking their playing from the ‘shed’ to the stage.

In connection with Larry Graham and Graham Central Station’s concert November 6, 2011 in Amager Bio, Copenhagen, Larry Graham wanted something extra to happen during his bass solo.
So he contacted me (LG knows me from last time he visited Copenhagen where I interviewed him and also joined him on stage – see link below) and asked me to assemble 10 bass players than would join him on stage for an improvised bass jam.

Needless to say , it wasnt hard to find volunteers, we could have been 20 on stage!
Every versatile bass player over the age of 25 knows Larry Graham and is on some level inspired by him
But there was only room for 10 plus Larry and his band.
What a blast! When I looked around I only saw ear to ear smiles on my colleagues faces:-D

Another great moment in my life, getting the chance to chat with my biggest bass inspiration Larry Graham.

The interview took place after the GCS concert july 4 at the ‘Jazz By The Sea’ venue during Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2011.
Thank you Larry Graham, Tina Graham and the band

Larry speaks of one of his biggest influences on guitar (which he started out with) Clarence Gatemouth Brown, where he learned the song ‘Okie Dokie Stomp’ note for note.

Just a quick rendition of the xmas hymn Silent Night played with almost only one finger on the D and G string while occasionally plucking some root notes on E and A string.
