I'll be away from this site for 10 days in order to go to Victor Wooten's Bass/Nature Camp in Tennessee.
I won't be updating my site for the next 10 days, as I am heading off to Victor Wooten's Bass/Nature Camp in the back woods of Tennessee (road trip!).
What's Bass/Nature camp? It's just a chance to play music and learn from some of the premiere players on the planet, including Victor himself (Béla Fleck and the Flecktones), Steve Bailey (Dizzy Gillespie), and studio legend Chuck Rainey (Aretha Franklin, Steeley Dan, and countless others). I'll also be learning about the wild blue (or green) yonder, and making fire. Should be fun times.
For some idea of what I'm talking about, check out my review of Wooten's novel The Music Lesson, which is now available through Berkley Books, a division of Penguin. Oh, and Wooten's new disc from Heads Up Records, Palmystery, is in stores now. Check it out.
I'll be back on April 22nd to talk more about animated films. Hope to see you then.
Cheers,
Dominic
