The first full week of the new year offered up a lot of excitement. One of the most exciting things for us was the start of our brand new podcast, Groove.

What can we say about James Jamerson that hasn’t already been said?

Ever since we featured Michael League (and his band, Snarky Puppy) in May, 2011, he’s been a popular bassist here on No Treble.
