About
About me
I studied classical double bass at the academy in Budapest and fell into jazz in my second year, playing in a cellar club three nights a week. I still do both: a chamber orchestra by day, a trio at night.
My lessons are for players who know one side and want the other: jazz bassists who never learned to bow, and classical players who want to walk a blues. Every lesson names the parts of a bass line it uses, so you can find the next one.
