So, since I removed FB from my phone, I miss all kinds of things!
March is International Woman's Month.
So for the rest of the month, I'll do a quick post on women in music. There is a good chance that this will be heavy on bass players (heh.)
For starters, here is The amazing Kate Davis. This first clip was the second recording of hers that I heard, and I think the original video was taken down by the Kennedy Center for copyright reasons. Rogers and Hart standard from 1936.
She is a multi-instrumentalist, but started out on bass. She has a voice to beat the band, and her bass chops are to die for.
The song that introduced her to the world----
One of my favorites, just watching her run up and down the upright bass, while laying down that rhythm, and singing.... just wow.
