Scarecrow Soup – Jeff Berlin

Bass Player: Jeff Berlin

From his 1997 CD ‘Taking Notes’, this is a slightly more measured composition with the really interesting note choices we have come to expect from Jeff but at a tempo that allows us mere mortals to find a way in. There is a lot to sixteenth note reading in this piece and it is important to internalise the pulse as there are a lot of rests and weird rhythmic tricks going on. Concentration is king. Ultimately, it is really fund to play.
