Chapman Stick Master Steve Adelson joins us from his home in Arizona, and entertains us with anecdotes and learnings starting with his early days playing guitar, to finding The Stick, and moving through running the Long Beach Jazz Festival for the better part of two decades. From experiences and playing with the likes of Les Paul, Tony Levin, and other big names, to hurricanes and how to get a restaurant crowd to “recognize” the originals you mix in, Steve takes us through a great conversation.

Well, for starters, our guest in this episode, Steve Adelson, is one of the foremost instructors on the instrument. His contact information can be found near the end of the episode. Several other interview guests we have had, such as Greg, Bob, and Jim, are also excellent instructors on the stick. The app is not really very good for this sort of interaction, so you might check the forums at stickist.com, or one of the Facebook Chapman stick groups. I hope this helps!
