storytelling...
The upright bass, for me, the sexiest jazz instrument, the way one has to embrace it, how your hands slide through or slap it, and, of course, the curves and scale of it...
Then, if you mange to play it like Mingus did, it is musical lovemaking.
I've just thought of a photo I made about year and a half ago... (quickly opens explorer to look in archives...)
@UP...so true...Aaah Charles Mingus Jnr, the angry man of jazz...very avantgarde but a true genius
*scrounging around for some 'ol inherited jazz vinyls to wind down the day on a recently fixed old turntable, next best thing to hearing it live...
captured!
Nice 1
lovely shot.
absolutely beautiful, my affinity for the composition & the instrument is strong ;-)
Damnit..
must admit -- not until UP's comment did I see the sensuality of this -- but yeah. i'm there
feeling this! too dope! I love the upright bass too for its sensuality, power and grace.
