Ivar Zantinge is working on my to-do list (2 weeks ago)

Whatever the situation or level you’re playing at, my feeling is you’ve got to be a strong player. Bass is a strong instrument; you can’t allow yourself to play it weakly, with no authority. You’ve got to play with an attitude, because everybody’s listening to the bass - and I dare anyone to challenge me on that…
