    The Podcast
    Of all the educational accoutrements available to bassists, this is one that should be in your “bag.” Jason’s high-energy approach to virtually everything he does (check out his You Tube channel) coupled with solid production values makes his podcast series rewarding to all listeners— No hyperbole—you will learn something valuable as a bass player in virtually every interview in “Contrebass Conversations”—make a point of checking it out.

    This is a must listen to podcast

    The greatest
    Jason Heath is a pillar of the online (and in person) bass community. I’ve literally been listening to the podcast for over a decade and it was one of the resources that got me fired up about music and bass before I went to college. The interviews are always interesting and Jason has a way of connecting with the guests and guiding the conversation toward new ideas and fascinating paths.
  • Inner Game Guy
    The Humble Leader
    Jason has amassed perhaps the largest collection of interviews, articles, reviews, and blogs on the double bass in the world beyond the International Society of Bassists. He is our favorite “man on the street” colleague who delights in sharing what the world has to offer rather than promote his own fine bass playing and teaching. He brings humor, creativity, enthusiasm, humility and a wealth of knowledge to all his publications. His contributions are endless and invaluable. Bravo Jason.

    Getting back to bassics
    Jason brings his A game every time he steps behind the mic, and knows how to bring out the very best in his guests. This show is a true asset to musicians and the podcasting community at large. Bravo!

  • Rico_Zim
    Crucial Resource for the Double Bass Community
    Playing an instrument is more about just the technical skills or even the musical artistry involved. It's also about participating in a culture around the instrument and the music. Contrabass Conversations has been the best way imaginable of bringing me into this wonderful culture of the upright bass and all the beautiful music it sustains.

    Contrabass Conversations is Cool!!
    It's been very encouraging to hear people's stories of their personal journey through the bass and music world. It's been great to pick up some insight from all these world class players. I feel this is a great resource for the modern bassist. I've encouraged students to tune in.

    Great podcast for anyone!
    I just love this podcast. Jason's ease of style with his guests makes you feel like you're in the room with them having coffee. I love tuning in to hear bass players and other musicians, as well! The one about Jason's early podcasting experiences and goofs had me laughing out loud. This is a must-listen!

    Jason Heath's Conversations
    Contrabass Conversations has changed the way I practice and organize my resources; keeps me motivated even at 67 years old and even though my instrument is electric bass, not double. Listening time well spent. Get this app and enjoy broadening your perspective.

    Great Resource
    Contrabass Conversations is a great resource for not just bass players but all musicians. The interview subjects all have interesting stories and Jasonseems to ask the exact question you hope he asks at just right the moment. Highly recommended to all bass players and all musicians!

    Great podcast that is both educational and entertaining.

    URGENT: improve your audio
    Jason, I love the podcast but sometimes the interview-ees phoning in on cell phones or SKYPE are very difficult to impossible to understand. I've had to dump episodes I really wanted to listen to because I couldn't understand what-the-hell the interview subject was saying, sometimes compounded by an interview subject with a strong accent. To take this podcast to the next level you need to overcome this issue. There has to be a work-around for this. Don't you hear this when you listen to past episodes?

    I love these podcasts. Great interviews. There is very little media related to the double bass out there so this is such a jewel and great resource for the DB community. The last episode happened almost a year ago so I hope that wasn't the end!
