The Upton Report Vol. 190 – NPR’s Jazz Night in America

Man, did we find a GEM!

NPR’s Jazz Night in America did a long segment on Danilo Pérez.

Jazz Night In America went to Panama City to take in festival performances by Pérez, John Patitucci and others, and finds out how music can change lives in Panama.

We’ve been working with John Patitucci for years now, and he’s been a huge fan of our Brescian model.  The Danilo Pérez Foundation bought a fully carved UB Brescian to have on hand for not only John when in residence, but all the bass players who come to perform.

This is a great segment and worth your time, and we were floored to see how much the Brescian has made its way into this video.  Jump to 19:19 if you want to get right into some playing if you don’t have time to watch the whole piece now.
