Our 4th monthly Tampa Bay Bass Player Night at Sam Ash will feature the usual cast of characters; bass players eager to learn and share about bass playing, instruments, gear and just hang out with other bass players.
This month former Duke Ellington bassist, John Lamb will be on hand to share some of his experiences with us. John Lamb performed with the Duke Ellington Orchestra during the 1960s and was a part of some of Duke's most unique and important recordings and tours.
