The goal of this project is to present research of African-American bassists from 1900-1936 who helped in the early development of jazz. The research will be presented in a multi-media lecture with live musical accompaniment at the 2016 European Bass Conference at the Hudební fakulta Akademie múzických umení v Praze Conservatory in Prague, Czech Republic. The outcome of this project will hopefully be further research and performance opportunities with double bassists in Europe. Further collaboration in research and performance with double bassists in Europe can be measured by increased frequency in future travel plans to conferences in Europe and the possibility of hosting European bassists in the Arrowhead region.
