Contrabass Conversations double bass life show

Summary: I had the pleasure of meeting Jean-Philippe Viret in person and interviewing him during Cielito de Jesus’ wonderful Rabbath Institute Los Angeles.  Jean-Philippe is one of the founding members of l’Orchestre de contrebasses and has had a rich career as a jazz bassist and composer in Paris for decades. We talk about his early years, the founding of l’Orchestre de contrebasses, exploring creativity, and much more.  Enjoy!
