Listen to Bassist John Hébert Break Down One of His Own Tunes, From 'Rambling Confessions'

You've probably heard John Hébert's bass behind a jazz heavyweight or two — late legends like pianists Andrew Hill and Paul Bley, as well as present-day figures like guitarist Mary Halvorson and pianist Fred Hersch. In this brief podcast, Hébert shares the story behind "70's and 80's Remix," an original tune from from his album Rambling Confessions.

Rambling Confessions, released on Sunnyside Records in 2015, features Jen Shyu on vocals, Andy Milne on piano, and Billy Drummond on drums. This conversation was recorded from the 2017 NYC Winter Jazzfest.

Produced by Sarah Geledi
