Greetings!

So I sat down tonight to write this week's Upton Report.  My mind was blank.  I've a lot on my mind (those closest to me will tell you this is true)...but to write a report...it was blank.

I searched YouTube for "jazz double bass" and stumbled upon these two guys in a basement.  I listened.  I watched.  I loved it.

It didn't matter to these two that they were in a basement, just in front of a camera.  It could have been the most popular jazz club in NYC with standing room only.  I think the performance would have been the same.  I feel that they feel what they are trying to do...and that makes all the difference.

So, without further ado, I bring you some Friday night double bass goodness!

And remember...if you have ANY links, news, videos, etc. you want to share (really...please...share!), eMail it to me at eroy@uptonbass.com and I'll be sure to share it.  Oh...and if you just want to say "Hi" you can do that too!

Have a nice weekend!
