Melody Gardot - Later last night

[Bass Culture]

Loved her voice but her bassist's playing on her second track was wonderful, I thought. Loved the way he changed seamlessly between plucking and bowing, the solo was really tasteful and he had a great sound too. Anyone know who he is?

I have no idea, but I have to admit I hardley noticed her band

no idea who he was, but that was a cello not a bass

I was at her Lowry concert on Wednesday night and commented the same in the Double Bass lounge. He's German and played it straight, sideways like a guitar, picking chords, and with a bow. She also played piano and guitar, had a sax, dbass and drums too and it was one hot band: the cello and double bass interplay was exciting and innovative. She was way more Jazzy than her albums, which I loved.
Melody said she'd "stolen him from Germany", not sure if he's done all the European date or not.

Er, yeah, just watched it back and, er, yes, a cello it was. Like I meant say before - wasn't her cellist just great!

I'm suitably embarrassed...

You should have just said you are short -sighted!
