Thanks for the video. Great trio.

Rick's a beast. He's the son of a great player called Peter i think who teaches in the Amsterdam conservatoire. Check out his version of Bottesini's grand trio with the same line up. Amazing.

Another thing i thing i like about him from a soloistic point of view is that he's definitely a performer swell which a lot of soloist's don't seem to be. Reminds me of Gary Karr in that sense, except more musical.

As one who is attempting to explore the upper reaches of the fretboard and remain more or
less in tune.....can I see some subtle dot markers on Ricks DB ? - under the G string ?

just off to find my white marker pen

Yes, incredible and their music is strangely accessible. She's nice when she smiles!

That is truly extraordinary bass playing. He can't possibly be human!
