Please help me find this song - double bass/vocals

[miles'tone]

Hi all.

I'm trying to track down a fab tune that I used to have on a compilation cd years ago. I seem to remember it being called Bass In Love, but Google/Spotify/YouTube are all drawing blanks so I must be mistaken. Artist unknown. 

It's a beautiful simple tune with a female singing in a very breathy sensual way "la lal la la la la la la..." to a melody (no lyrics), followed by a bowed double bass "singing" her melody back to her as if in conversation. 

There are other instruments on the track I think but the focus of the track is all about the lady and bass having this little conversation. 

 

I'm getting back into relearning my upright (properly this time!) after neglecting it for a few years.

I would love to find this tune as it would be a great one to practise my bowing non-skills to. Very simple melody but beautiful. 

 

I hope one of you guys might know what I'm talking about as it's proving to be an unshakeable earworm!

I can hear it in my head but just can't find it.

 

Help! 😄

Can you 'la la la' the melody into a mic' and post it here..? It would help, Shirley..?

What sort of time period are we talking about and what sort of genre? Was it a song in the charts or a Jazz record etc.?

Great tip Dad, I didn't know we could do that.

 

And don't call me Shirley.

It was on a compilation cd, time period unknown unfortunately as it had allsorts on it.

I've tried that, Shazam and Google song search but no luck. Thanks for the suggestion though!

It was on a kind of a jazzy, world music compilation. Like Putumayo but not Putamayo. Bought around mid 2000s.

I'm wondering what Putumayo-like labels I used to buy...

 

Now regretting getting rid of most of my CDs way back!

i could never understand why musicians get rid of their CDS !

 i have a wall of jazzfunk jazz latin and related 0f about 700.

and to me each one of them not only represent a memory, but for me who is a writing musician releasing tracks

they also represent, formats, ideas, colors, textures,  what instrument sounds good with others, whats dark, whats happy

how to create tension, when dropping stuff out of a mix whats gluing stuff together, bass tones, and that's even before i start on

FX, reverb types, mix styles bla bla bla.

i think each one has something special to offer.

so to me they are like a very useful library of tools and the thought of getting rid of them just to buy them again in another format seems stupid, so i keep them, some very very hard to get ones as well, yea... i like CDs 🙂

so if you getting rid of anything funkjazz related, im ya man.

its the graveyard where all funky cds end up, but get to live again 🙂

I've been happily getting along with Spotify for years. This is the first track I haven't been able to find.
