Josh Fossgreen is an electric and upright bassist in the San Francisco Bay Area. Proficient in many styles and musical contexts, he’s played from samba to ska, from heavy metal to jazz duos, from pit orchestras to soul bands to funk groups. He loves to lay down a mean groove as much as take a face-melting solo.
He’s also a skilled bass teacher and offers private lessons in the SF Bay Area. His teaching style draws from his own direct experience, and is not about what’s right or wrong, traditional or non-traditional, but about what works. He’s taught from ages 11-65, men and women, and has seen his students grow in their technical ability, their musicality, and their love for bass and music.
Josh is also available as a studio session player. He brings his versatility, deep groove, creativity, playfulness and enthusiasm to all of his projects. He finds balance between creatively designing bass parts and taking full input from the artists he works with.
He is intensely passionate about music in all its delightful aspects, and seeks to make the world we live in a funkier, more peaceful place through his work. May all beings be blessed and get their groove on!

I have to thank my dear friend Gio Benedetti of Toast Machine for coming up with the first chunk of this arrangement years ago. I think this is how he played it, anyway…
