John Ferrara Solo - "All About the Bass" - NyInsight meditation Center

About

Art has always held a special place in our New York City sangha, and this summer we’ve celebrated that spirit with a season of community music offerings. We close out the series with our biggest night yet: “All About the Bass” gives the spotlight entirely to the low end, bringing together four exceptional bass musicians — John Ferrara, Marty Jaffe, Jeremiah Hosea, and Marguerite Cox — for an evening of solo and ensemble sets spanning classical, jazz, and fusion traditions. Each artist brings their own renowned voice to the instrument, from Marguerite Cox’s classical upright bass training to Marty Jaffe’s deep roots in the New York jazz scene, from John Ferrara’s unique tapping technique that conjures the sound of piano and percussion to Jeremiah Hosea’s expressive, soulful approach to the low end, making this our most anticipated performance of the summer. Come settle in for an evening that’s as much about presence and listening as it is about rhythm — a chance to experience music the way we practice together: attentively, communally, and with an open heart. This musical gathering is part of New York Insight’s Dharma Rhythms Summer Music Festival. https://www.nyimc.org/event/dharma-rhythms-bass/ Listed by WBGO Live Jazz.
