Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Musician, Historian & Author of Jamil Nasser's 2018 book called Upright Bass, The Musical Life and Legacy – Muneer Nasser .. He talked about his life in music and his latest 2019 CD A Soldier’s Story… This new book Upright Bass chronicles his evolution from a young bassist on Beale Street to a top flight bassist on the New York Jazz scene. Miles Davis harbored curiosity about the environment that produced Jamil and three Memphis musicians he hired in 1963. "I wondered what they were doing down there when all the guys came through that same school." His narrative captures the untold stories of two piano giants Phineas Newborn and Oscar Dennard. He also shares anecdotes about his mentors: Papa Jo Jones, Lester Young, Charles Mingus, Oscar Pettiford, and Ray Brown.Click to listen.
