Description
This week's episode features a conversation with Jimbo Ross, once described by the great Don Ellis as the only jazz violist in captivity. Known for his collaboration with many of the greats and for leading his Bodacious fusion band, Ross recently released a new album as a bandleader under his own name. "Jazz Passion & Satin Latin" finds him harkening back to his jazz roots with an accessible playlist of standards, classics, hidden gems and originals. Aside from sharing memories from his musical journey and speaking about the new album, he also talks about the instrument he plays on the new LP -- a modified copy of a classic viola, reproduced on a 3D printer and upgraded with a 5th string to extend the upper range of the instrument.
