A couple was having marital difficulties and consulted a marriage counselor. After meeting with
them, the counselor told them that their problems could all be traced to a lack of communication.
"You two need to talk," he said. "So, I recommend that you go to a jazz club. Just wait until it's
time for the bass player to solo. Then you'll be talking just like everyone else."
What do a bass and a lawsuit have in common?
Everyone is relieved when the case is closed.
What's the difference between a mutual fund and a musician?
The mutual fund will eventually mature and earn money.
How do you get a jazz musician off your front porch?
Pay for the pizza.
The world's greatest jazz bassist and the worlds greatest blues bassist meet for lunch. Who pays the tab?
Neither, they don't charge for the food at the soup kitchen.
23RD PSALM FOR BASSISTS
The Lord is my drummer; I shall not rush.
He maketh me to lay out in tasteful places;
He leadeth me beside cool meter changes;
He restoreth my "one."
He leadeth me to the right repeats
For His name's sake.
Yea, though I read through the trickiest charts,
I will fear no train wrecks;
For Thou art with me;
Thy ride and Thy snare,
They comfort me.
Thou setteth up a solo for me
In the presence of mine guitarists;
Thou annointests my lines with drive;
My groove overflows.
Surely good feel and swing will follow me
All the tunes of each set;
And I will dwell in the pocket
The whole gig long.
