Hailing from Detroit, Jerome Rimson has been laying down the low end for over 55 years. During that timeframe, he has played with some of the biggest names of our time and excelled as a producer, arranger, songwriter, and vocalist. As you might imagine, Jerome is a wealth of information as he is part of the ongoing history of our beloved electric bass.

Join me as we hear about Jerome’s musical journey, how he gets his sound, his plans for the future and so many colorful stories from back in the day.
