I have been listening to The Tom Warrington’s Trio CD Titled “Back Nine” on Jazz Compass.

Click to see Back Nine song list.
Larry Koonse – guitar
Joe La Barbera – drums
Tom Warrington – bass
There is a lot to listen to, but I really like the song “Nardis” (Miles Davis). “Nardis” is a duet between Joe La Barbera and Tom Warrington. I only listened to the beginning of the song at first so that I could get an idea of what the head sounded like. After I felt like I could recognize the main part of the melody, I listened to the drums. It’s cool to hear Joe La Barbera’s interpretation of the melody.
Tom Warrington will be playing in the Joe La Barbera Quintet on July 31st at Charlie O’s in the city of Van Nuys (California).

Take a look at the new strings. These Rotosound RS77LD Jazz Bass Strings were recommended by Greg at World of Stings. Thanks Greg.
Click on the pictures to get a better look.


The feel is better than the round wounds that I had before. There is more high-end (twang) in the Rotosound strings. I like to dip out the high end with the bass’s EQ though.
Mmmm bottom….
