#jazz #bass #musician #paulthompson
In my first-ever vlog, I share my experiences and thoughts on the first gig in MONTHS along with my Thoth Trio bandmates Dave Throckmorton (drums) and Ben Opie (saxophone).

This is so cool. You guys sound so “ At home “ playing together. I play at my church and it was so nice to get back in the Sanctuary and play with the guys. I totally get it. I was tired too for about a month or so, and having had Covid it gave me an entire new level of appreciation. Btw it was cool seeing a jazz drummer wearing a Wu Tang shirt. Love being a musician! Thanks my friend. Be well. Blessings

Beautiful. Thank you so much. I am looking forward to being on the bandstand with you again, whenever that will be!

PT, good job on the video man, glad to see you guys back in action. Missing normal life and enjoying fun times at the gigs, but Pittsburgh is strong because of it's amazing musician community. Looking forward to calling out PT after your bass solos again soon, You da man, PT

I'm really enjoying your channel and your insights, PT. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to dig in and work on the movie score.

Great Vlog Paul. This really made me realize just how much I miss playing live right now. You're right, practicing at home, by yourself just isn't the same. How did Ben handle wearing a mask and playing sax?
