There's No Good Song Without Bass

In our premiere episode, host Ben Hartley introduces you to the National Arts Club. He then takes you to a recent spectacular evening at the Club. Hear sounds from the glamorous Medal of Honor ceremony and later, we meet the honoree of the event, Grammy Award-winning jazz bassist Christian McBride. McBride shares how his career has shifted over the years, defines “jawn” for all you non-Philadelphians, and breaks down how bass serves a song. A special thank you to Arthur Barnes for making the event and this episode possible.
