The bassist is the engine of the band and a prerequisite for it to be real jazz
Motif from a warm, dark and smoky room in the South with a lot of feeling for the blues.
Duke Ellington's favorite trumpet player in brass with a powerful tone in the higher registers.
Since my youth, I have enjoyed jazz music and it was easy when I worked in a music store for a few years. An old legend named Gunnar "Siljablo" Nilsson was a customer and guest in my shop for several summers when his band played at the city's Stadshotell. From him I learned to listen and understand the soul of jazz, and then it went by itself even if I chose the pen and brush before the instrument.
