648: Jory Herman on narration and bass




Contrabass Conversations double bass life show

Summary: LA Philharmonic bassist Jory Herman is releasing a new album that combines narration and bass.  This album, which is an outgrowth of his community engagement work, features pieces geared toward children with other works like Frank Proto’s Mingus - Live in the Underworld and Jon Deak’s BB Wolf.  In addition to covering the album, I asked him what it was like winning an audition for the LA Phil while also holding down a full-time job, being a dad, and working on his musical side projects.
