biggest issue??
Biggest issue is Jazz Improv? I am just curious to know here in your mind. How do you compare the challenges between Jazz inprov and Playing Double Bass in an Orchestra? Have you played enough Orchestra music yet to get a taste of what's entailed to actually play in a Symphony?
To me Classical Bass is the most demanding style I have even encountered. I think at least for me, Improv is easy. No one to tell you the exact notes or dynamics to play and no Conductor to follow either? Also, playing in a section is way harder than playing by yourself. If you like the Classical thing and can put even more time into it, join a community Orchestra as well as the Chamber group. Studying Classical will prepare you for just about anything on the Bass except for feel!
