Along with Legendary Soul/Funk Bassist Rocco Prestia of Tower of Power at Bass Player Live! October 24
Bass Player LIVE! will include clinics, demos, and appearances from top musicians at SIR Studios, 6465 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, California on October 24 – 25, 2009.
On Saturday evening October 24 at 8:00 p.m., Juan Alderete (Mars Volta) and special guests will perform at a concert at Hollywood’s Key Club which will include a presentation of Bass Player magazine's Lifetime Achievement Awards to jazz legend Charlie Haden and session legend Rocco Prestia followed by an All Star Jam.
Revered as among the greatest bass players in jazz history who became a legend at nineteen years old as a member of the Ornette Coleman Quartet that redefined jazz in the 50s and early 60s, Charlie Haden is the subject of a new documentary, Rambling Boy which will be screened at Bass Player LIVE! on Friday, October 23 at Musician’s Institute. The film begins with the session in which he and his children record Haden’s latest album interspersed with flashbacks of his own childhood performances and then traces Haden’s many accomplishments in a series of fascinating chapters.
That most recent CD, Charlie Haden Family and Friends - Rambling Boy, recalls the Americana and bluegrass music Haden played with his parents on their radio show and includes performances by his son-in-law Jack Black and guest appearances by some of the most illustrious names in contemporary Americana and popular music: Roseanne Cash, Elvis Costello, Vince Gill, Bruce Hornsby, Ricky Skaggs & the Whites, and others.
Bass Player LIVE! will include clinics, demos, and appearances from top musicians including Rickey Minor, Music Director of American Idol, America’s Got Talent, the Oscars, the Grammys, and the Superbowl; Tal Wilkenfeld, the 23-year-old wunderkind from Down Under who since releasing her solo in 2007 toured with Chick Corea and Jeff Beck; Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Beck & NIN); Juan Alderete (The Mars Volta); and many more luminaries.
