This is actually really interesting and thoughtful interview, I really enjoyed it. Interviewer is great and he i asking very good questions, that are more thorough and authentic maybe than when the interview is done by standard jazz journalist. And I learned a lot of new things about Larry and Brad's trio even when I'am their long term fan and sort of Mehldau geek 🙂 Good work! 👏

Wow! Larry is amazing! I know him in a summer camp in Siena... He is my favorite jazz bassist! The solo on the motorpsyco song on Joshua Redman " walking shadow" is my favorite Larry s solo! Thank you Geoff for this interview!

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Thanks for watching Marco and for the heads up on that solo...I will go and check it out :-)

Great player. Love his sound and concept. He has a way of making each note it’s own space, connected but each one it’s own thing.

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Agreed. I love the way he develops his ideas in his lines, it's so compelling!
Thanks for watching :-)
