About 15 years ago, I ran into an article that was published in Wavelength magazine in 1990 called “Slap That Bass! – New Orleans String Bass Pioneers”. Naturally, with a title like that, it immediately grabbed my attention. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had discovered possibly the most comprehensive source for information about early slap bass players.
Several months ago, I had the good fortune of spending some time in New Orleans. My time was divided between playing traditional jazz on the legendary streets of the French quarter, and doing research on various subjects in slap bass history. I was also able to track down the author of this amazing article, Dan Meyer, and we shared some great discussion. The article hasn’t been available on the web since the tragic hurricane Katrina hit town. Meyer was kind enough to let us republish an updated version of his article for the Art of Slap Bass website.
Hope you’ll enjoy reading it as much as I did 15 years ago!
