Bilbo Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I am lsitening to Dave Holland's 'Emarald Tears' and have his 'One's All' cd. I also have Edgar Meyer's Bach Cello Suites cd. Does anyone know of any other solo double bass cds> I know of a truckload of duets: Holland and Sam Rivers, HOlland and Milcho Leviev, Haden and Jarrett, Haden and Metheny, Glen Moore and Nancy King etc but can't think of any other solo double bass cds. Loads of electric bass solo stuff but not so much the double bass. Can anyone think of anything I hve missed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earbrass Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) Typing "solo double bass" into the Amazon search bar throws up a few options - mostly classical by the looks of it: [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dpopular&field-keywords=solo+double+bass&x=0&y=0"]http://www.amazon.co...le+bass&x=0&y=0[/url] ...though there is this jazz one (bit pricey mind) [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vol-1-My-Jazz-Double-Bass/dp/B001QERLC4/ref=sr_1_10?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1318001524&sr=1-10"]http://www.amazon.co...8001524&sr=1-10[/url] Edited October 7, 2011 by Earbrass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol303 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Sorry Bilbo, I can't add anything useful here, I just wanted to chip in and say that I have Edgar Meyer's Bach suites and love 'em! I started learning these myself but never got any further than No. 1 (the one that everyone tends to learn). Reminds me I must get round to learning the rest...

RhysP Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 What about some of the the Rob Wasserman stuff? I know he did the duets & trios albums, but he did some solo ones too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sercet Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 This is an electric upright, but a great great album.

lowdown Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 "Ron Carter meets Bach" Though i think Bach might have regretted meeting Ron Carter after hearing it. Not one of RC's finest - and i like Ron Carter. Garry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 Nice stuff, Pete, but its not a solo, its bass with accompaniment. I am looking for stone cold, out there on your own double bass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Brian Bromberg has the odd solo track. He's also a totally killer player! [media][url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWHuuffVbLs"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWHuuffVbLs[/url][/media] In fact, now I think about it, pretty sure he has a totally solo album out now: [url="http://brianbromberg.net/audio/hands/hands.html"]http://brianbromberg.net/audio/hands/hands.html[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
