For the last ten years I have been a Professor of Jazz Bass Studies at the Manhattan School of Music. The Jazz program at MSM is considered to be among the best anywhere.
I have recently become involved with Mucony, an internet based organization that provides online music lessons at a cost of $5.00 per lesson. I have three videos available at Mucony.
Over the last several years, teaching has become an important part of my musical life. I have lectured and performed workshops all over the world.
Good Time! is a Jamey Abersold play-along that I recorded at my studio with my good friend Adam Nussbaum. It's a valuable tool for players of all instruments.
