Rick Beato has a gift for finding the musicians that serious players are already whispering about and putting them in front of a wider audience, and his interview with 28-year-old Polish bassist Kinga Głyk is one of his best. The conversation, which has already pulled nearly 667,000 views, covers her technique, what she actually practices, and the specific challenges of being a working musician in the age of social media. Głyk, who has performed with the Frankfurt Radio Big Band and appeared at Jazz in Marciac and Leverkusener Jazztage among many other prestigious stages, brings a fluency and musicality to the bass that genuinely stops people in their tracks, and Beato gives her the space to explain exactly how she got there and what keeps her developing. For anyone who plays bass, loves jazz, or simply appreciates watching someone operate at the highest level of their craft, this one demands your full attention.
