250: Diana Gannett on her musical journey

Diana Gannett might be the most thoughtful double bass teacher I've ever encountered.

Her approach to teaching is comprehensive and nuanced. She incorporates everything from group warm-ups to Aikido principles on her website. Every bassist out there should have this site bookmarked!

But she's not just a great teacher—she's a jaw-droppingly talented performer.

You have to hear her sound to believe it. She energizes every note she plays with this magnificent and distinctive tone.

We go deep into her approach to teaching and feature excerpts from her wonderful solo album Lady Bass. I know you'll enjoy this episode!
