Listen Later

Welcome to Mondo Bass, the podcast geared towards beginning and intermediate bassists! Our introduction to the fretboard continues! Today’s episode continues our exploration of the Peter Gunn Theme by Henry Mancini and delves deeper into the musical idea of ostinatos. There is also a spotlight on composer John Williams, the maestro behind such legendary film scores as Star Wars, Superman, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jaws just to name a few. He was the pianist on the Mancini recording and was instrumental in helping develop the iconic Peter Gunn bass line.
