Spent a nice evening with a glass of wine listening to all the tracks on this thread, lovely stuff, thanks all for these cracking tracks! Liked them all, interesting stuff, loved the Mánran track, will be trying to play along to that one!

Dave Holland has recorded two solo double bass albums) Emerald Tears and One's All) and one solo Cello album (the latter after he had a heart attack and couldn't play bass).

Renaud Garcia-Fons has solo albums under his belt. He is an absolutely wonderful player.
Lovely feel and tone with terrific vibrato control.
