Fascinating interview - this is my favourite CZcams channel - such high quality guests and great questions/format. This one was one of the best so far. Thank you both!

[@AndyGJones]

Ah thanks very much. Glad you enjoyed it. Joe's got some great stories and he's really serious about jazz education and bass playing.

[@dexmercyfunkandsoul3244]

Great pearls of wisdom and anecdotes. Nice one Andy G Jones for curating. I’m off to dig out my CD’s of “Hubbard’s Cupboard “ and “Thumbs Up”. The Jeff Berlin quitting Bruford quote is quite a revelation.

[@AndyGJones]

Thanks for watching. Yup the Jeff Berlin thing was a surprise. Joe's got stories - lot's of 'em. He's a force for good..
