I’ve been following along with the musical adventures of Hans Roelofsen and Rudolph Senn for years.  They have toured the world as a bass duo, with 15 trips to the United States alone.

 

Throughout these trips, they have collected some fantastic stories.  We dig into these stories, how they came to play as a duo, challenges of transcription, the implications of choosing a particular key for an arrangement, and much more.  Enjoy!
