The amazing folding bass
Bass players should be particularly interested in the sequence of shows by Amy Gallatin & Stillwaters (featuring Roger Williams) which will begin tomorrow at the Omagh festival and finish (after two weeks or so in Britain) on 28 September - all the dates are on the BIB calendar.
Eric Levenson, doyen of bass players on the New England scene and veteran of the Joe Val band among others, has brought his Chadwick bass on the tour, as its unique construction makes it much easier to transport by air. Circumstances may not be appropriate for Eric to put his bass through its yoga routine at the show where you see the band, but you can see the tricks it will do on the Chadwick website. Then you'll want to see the instrument itself - which, by courtesy of Eric, will also be supplying the rhythmic foundation to a fine band.
