After a few years flying under the radar, Jazz Bass Icon Jeff Andrews is back on the scene. Here is a link to his Facebook Band Page https://www.facebook.com/jeffandrewsbait Jeff is best known for his work with Mike Stern, Steps Ahead, Vital Information and as Jimmy Haslip's sub in the Yellowjackets from time to time. He is a disciple of Jaco who hung out with him and learned from him in NY in the early 80s. Here are some of my favorite Jeff moments. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DISEfn6B-7I ...
I've concluded that Lesson 7 is a significant leap up from anything that came before in the TMBG course. I have now (admittedly in a disrupted fashion) been working on this lesson since Christmas.

I will be doing something new this coming Saturday-a Virtual House Concert with fellow TMBG Band Member Tim McDonald.

It will be a really interesting experience for me, and if some of my TMBG friends and fans would like to join me and Tim, we'd be honored! It's 6-6:30 pm CDT at this link: http://www.stageit.com/tim_mcdonald_...roy_vogt/20924 ...
Well, it's funny how things work out. I remember when i saw the course it was supposed to cover the first two years. I don't know if the second half of the course will take as long at the first but I've been playing for about a year now and I'm into the second half. Playing "The trouble with the truth" is actually quite nice. Not my type of music at all but I suppose it's best to be versatile. The next lesson is hopefully going to reinforce something I got ...
Hello, Does anyone have the bass tab or sheet music for Toes by Zac Brown? I'm having a lot of trouble finding it. Thanks
