Del Mar resident and retired UCSD music professor Bert Turetzky schedules a rare San Diego performance on Thursday, May 26, at Dizzy's downtown at 8 p.m.
Turetzky's long career in classical music and jazz have made him one of the most recorded double bassists in America. More than 300 composers have written works for him to debut, record and perform. Turetzky came to San Diego in 1968, after teaching and gigging in his home state of Connecticut since the 1950s.
Turetzky has mentored a "who's who" of local bassists including Bob Magnusson, Mark Dresser, Kristin Korb and Eric Clapton sideman Nathan East.
