Double bass

On October 1, 2016, I attended Tabernaculo de Dios Filadelphia (Spanish Pentecostal church) special service that can be considered a mini concert. This concert took place in a small church pastored by two elderlies named Angel & Esther Carrasquillo. Pastors Carasquillos are not only pastors but their first ministry back in Puerto Rico was music. They’ve been in the music ministry since they were 15 years old and they are now in their late seventies so they have quite the knowledge and experience…

Bass Pro Shop is a category killer. A category killer is a very large specialty store that concentrates on a major product category and competes on the basis of low prices and product availability. The major product for Bass Pro would be outdoor products. They carry tens of thousands of items for fishing, camping, hunting, and other outdoor sports. The retail positioning for Bass Pro is unique because not many retail stores can say they also serve as theme parks, summer camps and community…

An unadjusted trial balance is simply a list of the accounts with the credit and debit balances with totals. The totals from the two columns must match. If they do not mach there is an error somewhere that needs to be uncovered. In my experience, the trial balance is simply printed from a program and a bookkeeper reviews the totals to be sure they match the journal entries and that all transactions have been recorded then makes sure that the debits and credits match. If there are errors, the…

In recent years, the consequences of repeated head injuries and concussions suffered by athletes have been propelled into notoriety. High profile cases of suicide, domestic abuse, and disease diagnoses in athletes, have prompted increased research into the phenomenon and preventative measures to reduce head injuries to be implemented (Remington, 2014). According to Guskiewics and his colleagues (2005), repeated concussions is linked to diseases such as early-onset Dementia, Alzheimers, Attention…

The bass is one of the pioneer string instrument jazz musicians started to use around the 1890’s to provide a low-pitched bass line that would outline the chord sequences of any song. Before jazz, the bass was mostly known for its use in grand orchestras. The double bass arose in Germany during the late 1650’s. It was mostly used in Orchestras for classical music, creating a low pitched base for the violins and violas while harmonizing with the cellos. As time evolved, around 1890, the African…

who “weren’t getting enough jazz” so the smaller group was put together, per their director, Dr. Benjamin Irom. The quartet is comprised of Jacob Armstrong from Belton on guitar, Ray Palousek from Holland on piano, Blaine Smith from Temple on the double bass, and Charles Reid III from Harker Heights on the drums (Temple College Jazz, 2016). This group is unusual in that it is made up of instruments from just the rhythm…

in-active, most anglers will find more success at catching bass by "Down Sizing" or "Finesse" fishing. Finesse fishing patterns are usually fished at a much slower rate as far as "pattern" or "technique" goes due mostly to the inactive bass during these periods. The biggest factor an angler should be aware of is that the bass’s metabolism slows way down in colder water temperatures thus making them very "in-active" or "Lethargic," and a bass will not extend great amounts of energy during these…

aspects but with hints of soul, and which she mentions in her performance of her first song “Jazz Ain’t Nothin’ But Soul.” Instrumentation included keyboards played by Leo Genovese , guitar played by Ricardo Vogt, drums played by Otis Smith III, and bass (double and electric) played by Spalding. Vocals were also done by everyone as well. She and her band/vocalist performed a total of five songs, and during all the songs, I notice while Spalding was singing was that she truly gets into her…
