All about Bass

Swing in the Air is the home of Lindy and the Bat (tune to hear the story) Tuba Skinny is a New Orleans based street band. For the past 15 years they have been bringing their early 20th century American music to their ever growing audience all around the world. Frequently appearing in festivals around New Orleans, and throughout Europe in the summer time. ==== Charles Mingus Jr. (April 22, 1922 – January 5, 1979) was an American jazz upright bassist, composer, bandleader, pianist, and author. A major proponent of collective improvisation, he is considered one of the greatest jazz musicians and composers in history, with a career spanning three decades and collaborations with other jazz greats such as Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Max Roach, and Eric Dolphy. ==== The Jen Hodge All Stars were formed for a one-off gig Jen had on her birthday in November of 2010. Shortly thereafter, they found themselves with a regular gig at a delightfully debaucherous haunt by the name of Guilt & Company, located in Vancouver’s historic Gastown district.
