Of all the educational accoutrements available to bassists, this is one that should be in your “bag.” Jason’s high-energy approach to virtually everything he does (check out his You Tube channel) coupled with solid production values makes his podcast series rewarding to all listeners— No hyperbole—you will learn something valuable as a bass player in virtually every interview in “Contrebass Conversations”—make a point of checking it out.

Contrabass Conversations is a very informative source for bassists and all music enthusiasts. Jason’s interview style will make you want to listen to each episode again and again.

Jason Heath is a pillar of the online (and in person) bass community. I’ve literally been listening to the podcast for over a decade and it was one of the resources that got me fired up about music and bass before I went to college. The interviews are always interesting and Jason has a way of connecting with the guests and guiding the conversation toward new ideas and fascinating paths.

Jason has amassed perhaps the largest collection of interviews, articles, reviews, and blogs on the double bass in the world beyond the International Society of Bassists. He is our favorite “man on the street” colleague who delights in sharing what the world has to offer rather than promote his own fine bass playing and teaching. He brings humor, creativity, enthusiasm, humility and a wealth of knowledge to all his publications. His contributions are endless and invaluable. Bravo Jason.

Jason brings his A game every time he steps behind the mic, and knows how to bring out the very best in his guests. This show is a true asset to musicians and the podcasting community at large. Bravo!

This podcast is a fantastic resource for all musicians. From career advice to performance and practice. The topics and guests are insightful and intriguing.

Playing an instrument is more about just the technical skills or even the musical artistry involved. It's also about participating in a culture around the instrument and the music. Contrabass Conversations has been the best way imaginable of bringing me into this wonderful culture of the upright bass and all the beautiful music it sustains.

This podcast gives me, as an amateur bass player, a wonderful entree into the full world of the string bass

It's been very encouraging to hear people's stories of their personal journey through the bass and music world. It's been great to pick up some insight from all these world class players. I feel this is a great resource for the modern bassist. I've encouraged students to tune in.

I just love this podcast. Jason's ease of style with his guests makes you feel like you're in the room with them having coffee. I love tuning in to hear bass players and other musicians, as well! The one about Jason's early podcasting experiences and goofs had me laughing out loud. This is a must-listen!
