Today we feature John Kennedy, who has been one of the leading double bass educators for decades.  I’ve had the good pleasure to serve on the International Society of Bassists Board of Directors with him as well as on the faculty of several double bass camps, and he is a first-class performer, teacher, and human being.   I hope you enjoy this thoughtful conversation with a dear friend and wonderful member of the double bass community!   Subscribe to the podcast to get these interviews delivered to you automatically!   Connect with us: all things double bass double bass merch double bass sheet music   Thank you to our sponsor, Dorico!
