The Double Bass Experience was in Syracuse on July 11th as part of the Jazz in the City Series.
The explosive Jazz Double Bass experience featuring Jacob Webb and Phylicia Rae takes an audience to a place where they’ve never been before. The combination of these two stars in contemporary jazz have obtained seven number one Billboard records under their belt.
As a matter of fact, Phylicia Rae is the first female lead bassist to ever obtain a number one record on Billboard’s smooth Jazz National Airplay Chart in the history of this genre. Her history making single “Now or Never,” featuring Marcus Anderson, has granted the opportunity for female bassists to thrive in this genre.
In addition to his bass skills, Jacob Webb founded Next Paradigm Records, a nine artist contemporary jazz roster of fresh talent acclaiming multiple number one hit Billboard singles. Today, Billboard has recognized Next Paradigm as the number four label in smooth Jazz.
With all this success, Jacob and Phylicia brough their show to Syracuse and created a night of great music. From their chart topping hits to covers of Earth Wind & Fire and more. Switching back and forth as the lead bass player Jacob & Phylicia created a magical evening of jazz.
