Have you ever wondered how a serendipitous moment could change the course of your life? Join me, Gary at Upton Bass, as I recount how an unexpected introduction to the double bass in middle school set me on a unique musical journey. Together with my wife, Antonia, we explore the power of representation and inclusivity in the world of music. Antonia shares the inspiration behind her children's book, "Catalina Plays the What?" which tells the story of a young girl of color exploring the double bass. Our discussion shines a light on trailblazers like Esperanza Spalding and Nina Bernet, who are redefining the traditional musical landscape, and we express our hopes for a future where every child, regardless of their background, feels welcomed in the world of music.
We also uncover the impact of Antonia's book in schools, where it's inspiring young minds and receiving acclaim from educators. As we dream big, there's excitement in the air about expanding this into a series that could also explore the electric bass guitar. We talk about the double bass’s vital role across various music genres, from jazz to rock, and our passion for educating all ages about this magnificent instrument. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that celebrates the double bass and envisions a more inclusive and diverse musical future.
