In this episode of The Bass Shed Podcast, Ryan Roberts sits down with multi-instrumentalist, producer, and educator Dan Seeff, whose work has connected him with artists including Kendrick Lamar, Aloe Blacc, Jay-Z, Eminem, and The Game. Seeff also serves as an administrator for the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz Performance, helping mentor the next generation of jazz musicians.
The conversation explores the deep musical relationship between jazz and hip-hop, the legacy of legendary bassist James Jamerson, and the lessons Dan learned studying with Ron Carter. Along the way, they discuss bass technique, mentorship, and how musicians today develop their voice in an era shaped by digital learning and cross-genre collaboration.
