Tales from the far Side 27.06.19 The magic of the electric and acoustic Bass

On this edition I explore the magic of the electric and acoustic bass in Jazz by following some "Bass-Songlines" created by some of the best Jazz Bassists in past and present, by Jaco Pastorius, Stanley Clarke, Dave Holland, Charles Mingus, Butch Warren, Christian McBride and Ray Brown.

TALES FROM THE FAR SIDE is live on air on CRC102.9fm and on www.crcfm.ie every Thursday 8-9 pm with a repeat on Saturday 9-10 pm. And there is a podcast of the show available on the web site all through the week. The show has established itself over the years with a small but devoted listenership (even beyond Jazz-fans) and since the introduction on internet the listenership extended nationally and internationally.
