I can imagine no better guide through the history and variety of jazz than Langston Hughes, voice of the Harlem Renaissance and poetic interpreter of 20th century black American culture. Hughes’ 1955 First Book of Jazz is just that, a short primer with a surprisingly high degree of sophistication for a children’s book. I would, in fact, recommend it as an introduction to jazz for any reader of any age.

This absolutely stunning fretless seven-string bass by luthier Emiliano Bernal was crafted with a spruce top with Amazonian rosewood for the back and sides, a piece of roasted Birdseye maple for the neck, which also utilizes Amazonian Rosewood for its chocolatey fingerboard. It is fitted with a pair of custom Bartolini pickups with passive electronics. Each pickup has its own volume knob with a master tone control. Other features include a Hipshot bridge and Hipshot tuners.
Because the ukulele and guitar have so much in common, uke players like me, who started on guitar, are inclined to adapt their guitar skills to the uke. One popular guitar style I sometimes use on the uke is the alternating-thumb fingerpicking popularized by acoustic blues guitarists of the 1930s, some people call it Travis picking, after the brilliant fingerpicking guitarist Merle Travis; others call it “raggy blues,” because it has a rhythm similar to ragtime piano. No matter what you call it, it's fun!

Neil was from Riverside CA and played with Foy Willing and the Riders of the Purple Sage. In 1959, he was hired as a guitar and banjo player on The Lawrence Welk Show when Buddy Merrill left to serve in the US Army.
