String bass here. I learn so much from going to new Orleans, came back fully inspired. I highly recommend every jazz player to go.

I'm learning baritone horn and this video was very, very helpful in helping me set up a bass line..... I wish I could tell Kelly myself how helpful and inspiration it was.

[@brianjay12]

do you have any advice on learning chords, do you think of them as arpeggios to create baselines as easy as seems to take you?
