Covid is a mother of invention…
George was more than three years into the run of his fifth Broadway hit, “Ain’t Too Proud…The Life And Times Of The Temptations”, when the pandemic hit. It seemed to take him no time to pick up the slack and start his own Facebook webcast, “George’s Bass Chat”, where he interviews legendary bassists, musicians, and other performers.

George has tons to say about the art of playing behind singers, his complicated childhood growing up in Vienna as the son of jazz legend Art Farmer, and took my drum tracks and turned them on their heads- creating wildly inspired duets.
