Why learning Jazz on bass SUCKS (5 reasons no one talks about) | The SBL Podcast Ep. 152

The hate that some bass players have for jazz can transcend space, time, and the laws of nature. It can feel like your band mates are speaking another language & you feel kind of left out. But learning jazz can give you musical superpowers with practice. In this episode, we’re here to reveal why you should take the leap!

In this episode:
• Scott’s worst audition story.
• Why the best musicians play jazz.
• How it can be a bass player’s best friend.
• Should non-jazz musicians study jazz?
• Check out Ian’s new Olinto Jazz Bass.
• And much, much more!
