Harvie S will present a workshop for all instruments which will feature many aspects of the bass.  All instruments that can tune into the bass better when they play will be able to attain a deeper understanding of the music and thus play more interesting solos. in  the case of a drummer: more swinging time and more groove.Harvie S known for his duo work with Sheila Jordan, Kenny Barron, Mike Stern, Jim Hall, John Scofield Paquito Di Rivera

and Art Farmer will play and talk about duo performance.

There will be participation so bring your instruments in which you will play with the other participants with Harvie S also.

Harvie will also talk about bass line construction and  issues bassists encounter. This is good information for all instruments. Mixed in with everything will be stories and a lot of laughs talking about the music business etc..

Harvie S has written 10 duets featuring the bass, but can be played with 2 bassists or bass and any other instrument. Very challenging and instructive!

Harvie will perform a few duets with London bassist Andy Hamill.
