Zack Pride is one the most in-demand bassists in the Washington, DC area. He has performed with such greats as Mulgrew Miller, Lou Rawls, Dorothy Norwood, Robert Shaw, Louis Lane, Robin Eubanks, Vanessa Rubin, Marcus Belgrave, Houston Persons, Frank Morgan, comedian Dave Chappelle, Cyrus Chestnut, Freddy Cole, Wycliffe Gordon, Robert Glasper, Stefon Harris, Mark Whitfield, Lizz Wright, Joshua Redman, Kenny Garrett, Mark Murphy, Sharon Clarke, Cassandra Wilson, Tom Browne, Ronnie Laws, Lonnie Liston Smith, Marcus Printup, Eric Reed, George Cables, Winard Harper, Jimmie Ponder, Johnny O’Neil, and Earl Klugh.

In this premiere episode, we play an older tune of mine called "For Chick,"  as well as Zack's piece "Khemit." The last tune is "Cedar," which I wrote specifically for this episode. It is dedicated to the late Cedar Walton.

Zack tells us about how he discovered music and came to love the bass. We also remember the late Mulgrew Miller, and hear a CRAZY story about Zack meeting Charlie Haden on the streets of New York.
