The Herald De Paris Interviews Bass Legend Jeff Berlin

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Glass Onyon PR) - A new interview with bass legend Jeff Berlin, conducted by Al Carlos Hernandez of international news website Herald de Paris, has been posted today. The candid interview, which touches on every aspect of Berlin's illustrous career, can be accessed at www.heralddeparis.com/the-baddest-bass-player-in-the-world-jeff-berlin/101034. Jeff goes into detail about his declining to join rock legends Van Halen, as well as his newly released CD "High Standards", his upcoming South American tour and the work he is doing at his music school The Players School of Music.

Jeff Berlin is a legend of the electric bass, considered by many to be the finest electric bass player in the world. A true master of the bass, Jeff Berlin has played with the likes of Bill Bruford, George Benson, Allan Holdsworth, and even toured with original members of Yes (Anderson, Wakeman, Bruford, Howe) on only three days' notice. Jeff 's new jazz trio CD on his own MAJ Records label titled 'High Standards' has been receiving rave reviews worldwide. Along with Berlin on electric bass, the CD also features Woody Herman alumni Richard Drexler on piano and upright bass, and famed drummer Danny Gottlieb (best known for his work with Pat Metheny). "It is a standard jazz piano trio led by a former rock bass player playing jazz tunes, and soloing nothing like bass players usually solo," says Jeff. "Keith Jarrett is huge influence on me. I transcribed his solos and practiced them on bass. I wanted to try my hand at recording tunes that I have played for many years, which inspired me to record three guys in a room and let the session remain as they eventually turned out."
